Don't Forget the Batteries This Christmas

"Batteries Not Included" is a phrase that will frustrate even the most prepared Christmas organisers on Xmas morning.

Everything has been unwrapped and the kids are ready to play with their new stuff. Mum or Dad spend 20 minutes trying to remove all the little bits of wire that are holding the toy in the display box and once it is released, they realise - horror-of-horrors - it needs batteries.

No matter how prepared we are, the batteries still get forgotten!

So, here is my early warning - order a shed-load of batteries right now before you forget and store them away ready for Christmas. By getting them early, you're also ensuring you get a great discount. For example, at MDS Battery you can get a pack of 10 Duracell AAA and 10 Duracell AA batteries for just £6. Come Christmas morning, you'll be lucky to get a pack of 4 for that price at your local shop!
