She recommends people start sorting through old toys and children’s clothes and says these could fetch £250.
She added that now is a great time to get rid of furniture – as some families will be looking to buy bigger dining tables to fit the family around ready for Christmas dinner.
Janine said: “A couple of years ago I sold my old dining table and chairs for £110 which paid for one of my kids Christmas presents that year.”
In total, people could be looking at an extra £1,000 if they have a dining table, sofa bed and toys and clothes to sell.
