Frugal Forecast: December to Remember

December is one of our favorite months; with so much celebrating rolled into just 31 days, it’s hard not to love. And as visions of half-priced sugarplums dance in our heads, we thought we'd give you, loyal readers, a sneak peek into some of the savings you can expect in the month ahead. From toys to greeting cards to festive fashion, here's the insider scoop on savvy savings to get you through Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s Eve in style.

Toy Joy 

What will those elves dream up next? The Disney Store is having amazing sales on princess dolls, toy cars and superhero figurines with prices starting at just $10. Now running their Biggest Christmas Sale Ever, toy superstore Toys R Us has deals on everything from LEGO to Angry Birds stuffed animals – browse our huge selection of coupons with savings throughout the month. And if you’re looking for unique gifts this year, shop Doug & Melissa, now offering free shipping with any purchase through December 31. They have a great selection of educational, classic and personalized toys that make thoughtful gifts for any child. 

Sweet Treats

We can almost smell the latkes a fryin', but there is still time to source the supplies you need to celebrate the festival of lights in full effect. This year, delight friends and family with bountiful gift baskets from Oh! Nuts, and shop their comprehensive selection of dreidels, gelt, menorahs and candles. We also love the edible gifts from Cherry Moon Farms for both the taste and price. Now, you’ll save 15% on $29 holiday treats and gourmet sweets, like decadent chocolate truffles with creamy fillings. Feeling fruity? Send a box of citrusy sunshine to your loved ones in cold climes – navel oranges and satsuma mandarins make a festive, healthful gift.

Season Greetings 

We love snail mail. At Pear Tree, you’ll save up to $50 on printed holiday cards. Their fantastic selection is filled with whimsical designs you won’t find anywhere else. Personalize templates with your own family photos or candid snapshots, and choose the colors and fonts you love. Tiny Prints is another one of our favorite greeting card websites. Shop their selection of Hanukkah cards in pretty blue and white hues, which are customizable and start as low as $0.89 per card. And, if you’re dishing out the eggnog this year, check out Tiny Print's too-cute invitations. 

Dress to Impress 

With all the parties scheduled on your Google Calendar this month – from the office holiday bash to New Year’s Eve on the town – we’ve gathered coupons for must-have dresses, accessories and shoes for every occasion. Some of our top picks? A sequined frock from French Connection makes a splash at any outing, snazzy designer shoes from DSW will have you cutting a rug, and, for your tweens and teens, fun and festive holiday wear is 40% off at Justice.
