Treat the BBQ lover in your family to a pack of eight Road House Roadtrip hot sauces for just £7.
Or perhaps a Bubble Tea and Tumbler Set for just £4 or a Create Your Own Rainbow Candy Milkshake set also for £4.
For those who enjoy treats that are a little more luxurious, there are the Hot Chocolate Flavour Stirring Spoons.
Whoever you choose to gift this comforting treat to, they will be able to choose from seven different HoCho flavours, including peppermint, raspberry and white chocolate and cookie.
There is also a coffee collection by the same brand with eight instant coffee cups with a variety of flavours such as hazelnut, praline and caramel for £5.
For the darts expert, there’s a Bullseye Bully quiz set that comes with two cans of Bully beer for less than £10.
We all know someone who isn’t a fan of the festive season, and B&M has their gift covered: a Grinchmas Hamper with a hot chocolate mix, mug and fluffy socks for £7.
The incredible finds were shared on B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook.
The eagle-eyed shopper wrote in the caption: “Christmas gifts for under £10. #christmascountdown #christmasiscoming”
One wrote: “Might have to start Xmas shopping next week,” and tagged her husband.
“I need a visit, I think,” wrote another, also tagging a friend.”
With 112 days to go until the big day, starting the Christmas shopping early is a great way of staying on top of spending.
Despite the huge savings at B&M, always remember to compare prices before buying any product as you might find it cheaper elsewhere.
PriceSpy, Price Runner and Idealo are three websites well worth using to find the best price for a particular item.
You can also use the Google Shopping/Product tab to do a less extensive trawl of the internet.
If you’re looking to find similar bargains next time you’re at B&M, there is one trick you can use as well – the B&M scanner app.
The app can be downloaded for free on to your smartphone via the Apple App Store or Google Play.
It has a barcode price check feature which lets you scan product labels in-store to find out their true price.
It sometimes shows up products that have been slashed to just 10p.
The app also offers you a description of the product you are scanning.
How else to save money at B&M
The best time to get cut-price products is 10am on a Wednesday, according to one ex B&M manager.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
It’s worth signing up to Facebook pages dedicated to hunting for bargains from B&M and other discounters too.
Some worth joining are B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals and More and Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
Meanwhile, B&M super shopper Sam Penney recently revealed her six top tips for bagging a bargain at the discount chain.

How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you’ll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don’t need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
