Melanie Nicholson’s family has had its share of problems over the last few years. But thanks to Park, Christmas isn’t one of them.

Mum-of-two Melanie became an Agent four years ago. And she’s glad she did, because it helped make Christmas a special time for her young family during the troubled times that lay ahead.

Melanie said: “We’ve been forced to move home several times, first due to our landlord selling our home and later I had lots of trouble with a neighbour. In fact our last move was just two days before Christmas.

“I also had a really bad second pregnancy. My daughter Ava wasn’t growing properly and I had to give birth a month early. But thankfully she was a beautiful 5lb baby, with masses of hair.’

After Ava was born, Melanie was worried that she wouldn’t be able to give eldest daughter Mia as much as she normally would at Christmas. She said: ‘I thought it would be tough on Mia, who was 4 at the time. But Park made it easy.

“I browsed the catalogue and decided to save for a pink bike, a Princess CD player, a DVD player and lots more. So that year, not only did Mia have a new baby sister, she got the best presents and was completely spoilt!

“And with my Love2shop vouchers I bought many more presents for my girls and the rest of my family.”

Melanie is spoiling both of her children again this year, especially now Ava is old enough to open all of her own presents.

She added: “It is always so rewarding to know you can make your loved ones happy. All I have to do is relax and wrap up all of their presents – and every year, underneath our Christmas tree looks amazing!

“So thank you for putting the smiles on my beautiful children’s faces – seeing them happy and their eyes light up on Christmas morning is the best feeling in the world.”
