Last week, we hinted at a special guest we just had to bring on for some top-tier budgeting advice, and we've delivered! This week on The School Runway, we’re joined by none other than MoneyMum herself, Gemma Bird.

With Christmas shopping season on the horizon, we wanted to make sure we get in there early and ask Gemma her advice when it comes to budgeting for Christmas, keeping holiday spending under control, and teaching kids valuable money lessons.

Gemma shares her own journey of financial discipline, inspired by her parents, and reveals how a few mindful tips can transform your approach to money. Whether it’s staying savvy with holiday traditions or embracing what really matters, Gemma’s practical advice is perfect for making this season both magical but more importantly, manageable.

Disclaimer: There is some mention of Santa and more importantly how his wider team of elves work (HINT HINT). Consider this carefully before playing the episode around small children.
