*at Picture People if you bring in an unwrapped new toy for 'Toys for Tots' you will get 2 free picture sheets - no purchase necessary! If you were planning on getting Christmas pictures anyway make sure to take advantage - they are normally $18 a sheet - so that is a great deal! You can also combine it with a coupon and a portrait club membership. AND they are also giving away a free sheet of photo gift tags that are super cute. If your kids have a difficult time w/ pictures I suggest requesting 'Noe' - he pulled out all the stops to encourage a smile out of my kids (including singing & beat boxing) and the pictures came out adorable.
*Santa is here already (insert comments such as 'oh my goodness it isnt even Thanksgiving yet!' here) - anyway - Santa pictures are a rip off - we know this - but they are including a free shutterfly gift card with any purchase. I bought the cheapest set - $17 for 2 pictures (ugh) - but it came with a $10 gift card to shutterfly, that softened the blow a bit. Side Note ~ if you are in San Marcos - go to 'breakfast w/ Santa' at the community center the weekend of Dec 5th - you can get a pic w/ Santa for a few dollars or even take it with your own camera (post on this info to follow).
*If you make any purchase at Victoria's Secret you get a gift card that is worth $10 - $500 that will activate the month of December.
*If you make a purchase at Build a Bear you get a coupon good for the month of December for $7 off a purchase of $10 or more. We went in with the $5 off a $10 purchase & got a bear for $5! Give them your address to have coupons sent to you. Remember to scan your bear rewards card too. Costco usually starts to have discounted gift cards for Build a Bear around this time of year - usually 20% off. If you have kids that are addicted to Build a Bear, it is something to keep in mind.
*Children's Place extra 30% off is still going on & you can combine this with the 15% off coupon that is online (on a previous post here too) - I got my daughter's Christmas dress - adorable black plaid 'satin' dress for $10! Normally $24.50. Not bad.
*Gymboree still has an additional 20% off clearance - but again - I suggest you wait til black friday b/c they pretty much just give it away the day after Thanksgiving.
Enjoy ~
