Today’s blog post includes a short roundup of some last-minute fun holiday to-dos I have on my list and includes a $350 giveaway toward your last-minute holiday shopping this year. Thank you to RetailMeNot for sponsoring this post!
Can you believe Christmas is a week and a half away? WHAT!? I truly feel like this has been the fastest December of my entire life and there are still quite a few things I have left on my holiday to-do list.
- Go for a drive to look at Christmas lights
- Make homemade hot chocolate with mini-marshmallows
- Decorate a gingerbread house (I found an adorable one for only $7 at ALDI!)
- Watch ELF, Rudolph, Christmas Vacation and Home Alone
- Make Christmas cookies (I’m planning to make Mimi’s sugar cookies with my mom and sister)
Those are the mostly fun to-dos… but I still have some of the obligatory holiday-related to-dos on my list as well, most of which center around finding the perfect gifts for friends and family, wrapping presents and getting all of our travel plans in order. I’ve been sick with the flu and down for the count all week this week (I’ll share more on that tomorrow –ooph!) so I feel incredibly behind on my holiday shopping but since I’m all about online shopping these days anyway, I’m hoping this weekend will put me back on track.
Saving Money on Holiday Shopping
Thankfully I got a jump start on my holiday shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday but now that most of the super deals are over, I’m still on the lookout for savings, especially this time of year.
I’m sure most of you guys have heard of RetailMeNot by now – it’s such a helpful site for finding coupons, deals and e-gift cards – and I’ve been using the site and app for years to help me save money when I shop online. (RetailMeNot also has cashback offers and you can combine these with other offers to claim up to $30 cash back in one click!)
Before I buy anything online, I do a quick visit to RetailMeNot to see if a coupon code or a deal is available to help me save on my purchase.
From time to time I’ll feature some great weekend sales on my blog in my Things I’m Loving Friday roundup posts and RetailMeNot’s Deals Page is a great resource for finding some of these awesome savings.
Here are a few good deal gift ideas I found via RetailMeNot that popped out at me that I think might appeal to some of you out there as well:
- Buy 2, get 2 free beauty and accessories from Victoria’s Secret (great for stocking stuffers – I love their rollerball perfumes)
- Up to 60% off home decor clearance at Target (just take all my money!)
- $15 cash back when you spend $75 at Kohl’s (they have lots of cute holiday pajamas)
- $10 bonus gift card for every $50 gift card purchased at Panera Bread
- Up to 50% off GAP + 20% off site wide
- Free shipping on orders $45+ at Shutterfly
- 27 Stocking Stuffers Under $20 (oh hey $15 Kiehl’s travel set!)
- 24 Gifts for Hard To Buy For People
RetailMeNot actually helped me find out about the 40% and 50% off deals I utilized on Black Friday to shop for pajama, clothing and accessory gifts for my family from Gap and Old Navy and the deals I used to shop at Kohl’s for everyone as well.
Also, if you prefer in-person shopping, definitely check out the RetailMeNot app which alerts you to nearby offers that can be redeemed directly from your phone at checkout!

Bath & Body Works! I love buying their products as stocking stuffers 🙂
Love RetailMeNot app. I am constantly using this thing every time I enter a store or shop online. I recently found some great deals for Dicks Sporting goods with 10 off of 50 and money back when you use your loyalty card. Another great one is 10 off of 30 at bath and body. There are so many great deals and a majority of the time you can find some type of deal for most stores. If I’m instorr and it’s only an online coupon and worth it I will usually wait to buy and order online.
Definitely the $10 off $30 at Bath & Body Works! Hope you are feeling better!
Hi Julie! Definitely the $5 off Door Dash delivery because I love a night at home and ordering takeout while wrapping presents!
Merry Christmas!!
The $10 off $30 at Bath and Body Works will be great to round out stocking stuffers.

Babies R Us cash back! I can’t stop buying cute baby things even though my son is 6M old and has no idea what Christmas is!

I think I’m going to try to finish checking off my list with that 30% off Kohl’s code!
I’m excited about the Amazon discount!!!

Any Target deals or Victoria’s Secret!
The Kohl’s one caught my eye!
Amazon!! Since the nearest “shopping” is over 3 hours away 😉
I always use Retail Me Not but my favorite are the Michael’s coupons and Hobby Lobby for 40% off, especially when I am feeling crafty…which happens every now and then!!
I am curious about UberEats so I would use the $20 off 4 deliveries.
Hope you are feeling well soon!
I’m excited about And That!’s deal! I love that store!
Definitely the uber eats deal!!
Target, of course! Where else can I buy groceries, clothes, books, workout gear and gifts in one place?! I’d take the 10% off pro beauty hair appliances.
