UseYourLocal.com lifts spirits this Christmas as shoppers collect their parcels with a pint in the pub, instead of queuing with frosty shoppers at the post office.

Christmas shopping has never been so enjoyable. This year, UseYourLocal.com offers shoppers the chance to pick up their parcels at the festive hub of their community, the local pub. By simply ordering parcels through UseYourLocal.com, consumers can be safe in the knowledge their gifts are safely received and can collect their parcels at a convenient time; as late as Christmas Eve if they want to conceal the contents from prying family members.

"At UseYourLocal.com, we are firm believers in Christmas cheer. What better way to warm cockles this year, than in your local pub where you can collect your parcels and sip a pint at the same time?" Stuart Mills, UseYourLocal.com founder.

Over 1,000 pubs have signed up to the service, which is free to use and aims to help landlords reinstate their pubs at the heart of local communities. The UseYourLocal.com website is also a great way to find out what's happening in local life; from mulled wine evenings, to Christmas lunches and New Year's Eve parties.
