Hello,   The first of the month signals payday for many and thoughts invariably turn to Christmas shopping. For those of you daunted by the task ahead and stuck for ideas, we hope you'll enjoy our gift guide. We've got suggestions for the whole family.     Continuing with the festive theme, we've also rounded up the top Santa's grottos – they are sure to delight children across the UK.     If you're looking to blow the cobwebs away, there's nothing more bracing that a beach walk at this time of year. We've got 15 to try from around our beautiful coastline.     William Sitwell joins us this week as our guest columnist. He shares his views on the sad demise of pubs and the rise of coffee shops and presents a pretty compelling argument as to why the American sitcom Friends is to blame!     In money, we look at how you can retire before 65 as well as how customers are taking on the Big Six energy companies – and winning.   It's a derby day special in sport with news, interviews and analysis ahead of Liverpool v Everton, Arsenal v Tottenham and Chelsea v Fulham.   We've got exclusive interviews with Richarlison and Rafael van der Vaart, as well as a column from Neville Southall on rainbow laces.   All that, plus nine pages of culture, seven-day TV listings to plan your week's viewing and a four-page puzzles pullout.   Enjoy your weekend,   Hanna   Hanna Tavner iweekend Editor The nation's news, straight to your inbox.  Sign up to the i newsletter today!
