The very first first John Lewis store was opened in 1864 in Oxford Street, London.  That store is still going strong to this day with millions of people passing through its doors every week. 

Christmas is one of the biggest times for any high street shop and John Lewis is no different. 

With 50 stores packed to the rafters with gifts, home furnishings and deals it can be hard to pick out the best discounts and offers. 

One of the hottest deals this Christmas is the John Lewis 'Festive Treats' hamper, at just £60 it includes wine, fudge, chutney, truffles, jam and cake. 

Express.co.uk has picked out the best deals, offers and gifts for 2017 - from electrical bargains, children’s toys to beauty deals.

The chain's slogan is "Never Knowingly Undersold" which has been in use since 1925.

And it’s still valid to this day. On the John Lewis website, the company writes: “Put simply, Never Knowingly Undersold is our price promise to you. It’s at the heart of everything we do and part of the service you’ve come to expect from us.”

The company states they apply the national price to products in shops and online. 

But if a local high street competitor within eight miles of one of the John Lewis shops has a lower price, they may drop their prices to meet that of the competitor.

How do you get Price Match in John Lewis? 

The product must be available through a high street competitor, rather than, an online-only company - this is extremely important for the comparison. 

The John Lewis team will need to confirm the product is the same make, model, size and colour, and comes with the same conditions of sale. This includes delivery times and service conditions they offer.

To find out how we compare products and services, John Lewis recommends reading the 'small print' section on their website.
