If you haven’t tried RetailMeNot, it’s a convenient way to locate coupons, cash back offers, and discount e-gift cards all in one place. This year it made filling our Christmas stockings much easier.

Even though our kids are mostly grown, we still keep the stocking tradition alive. With six stockings to fill, I watch the budget carefully so small purchases don’t add up.

My tip: instead of hunting store to store for the best price, start at RetailMeNot and let it do the searching for you. It saves time and reveals promotions you might otherwise miss.

Whether you shop online or in person, you’ll find thousands of offers across categories and retailers—everything from percentage-off coupons to buy-one-get-one deals and cash back opportunities.

Using RetailMeNot, I discovered deals for stocking stuffers like an extra 30% off sale items at Anthropologie, 40% off full-price merchandise at J.Crew, Buy Two Get One Free stocking stuffers at Sur La Table, and 20% off cookie sets at Williams-Sonoma.

I enjoy choosing special gifts for family, and finding a great deal makes it even more fun.

Each year we aim to include three types of stocking gifts: something cozy, something quirky, and something convenient. If a gift is too large for the stocking, it goes on the hearth.

I stick to those three themes but love personalizing things whenever possible—it’s a small touch that makes a big impact.

Cozy socks, tassel mittens, an alpaca mug, a Star Wars cookie cutter set, monogram spoons, and wine glass writers are examples of the kinds of stocking stuffer finds we discovered.

Those picks came from RetailMeNot’s listings this week—cozy, quirky, and convenient all at once.

Oh! Shhh, don’t show my kids!

RetailMeNot made it easy to find deals across gifts, decorations, electronics, clothing, beauty, and more. I searched the site by category, by store, and by top offers. There are also holiday-specific deals and a mobile app that alerts you to local savings.

In many cases you can combine promo codes with cash back offers to maximize savings, sometimes claiming up to $30 cash back with a single click.

Being efficient and mindful of our budget frees me to focus on family traditions and the things that matter most during the holidays.
