There are a number of high-street fashion brands running sales at the moment, as retailers look to continue the post-Jubilee sales bump into the end of the month. Kurt Geiger's 50 per cent off sale, for example, includes over 1,500 items, such as purses and men and women's bags and footwear. There are even a few items in there that are discounted by considerably more than 50 per cent, such as Tial2 9 Degrees women's boots, which have been reduced from £85 to just £9. The sale runs while stocks last and can be found at KurtGeiger.com.

H&M cutting cost of stock by half online

H&M has also slashed the cost of selected stock by 50 per cent, and again there are items in the sale going for as much as 70 per cent off. The sale is only available online at http://www.hm.com/gb/, not in stores, so orders will incur a charge of £3.90 per delivery.

Amazon late rescue for Father's Day

If the news that tomorrow is Father's Day comes as a nasty surprise, you may want to head over to Amazon.co.uk, where last-minute shoppers will find a 25 per cent discount on every item in the Father's Day sale section of the website. The sale lasts until tomorrow evening, but at such short notice there will obviously be issues in having your items delivered in time for Father's Day, so this sale is best suited to those who won't be seeing their father until later in the week.

Reduce cost of your pampered pets

Finally, animal lovers can have a temporary reprieve from the high costs of pet ownership thanks to LovePets.co.uk. There are two independent offers that may be of interest; firstly an 83 per cent saving on cooling coats, toys and travel accessories, and secondly a free sample of the website's own brand "nutritionally advanced" dog food worth £9.99 when you buy a £4.99 bag of the same product.
