There are many reasons we select gifts for friends and family at the holidays. Buying gifts that are products we’ve tried ourselves helps build confidence that we know what we’re getting - and giving to others - so it’s easier to buy presents that we’re familiar with. And, while finding the perfect gift for someone is key, getting a great price with coupons or promotions is a nice way to sweeten the deal!

I have so many people to buy gifts for that Holiday Sales are a great help to my wallet.
I try to get my gets one gift they REALLY want, and I've been pretty lucky to find things on holiday sales the past few years. I have a hard time paying full retail for anything. Craigslist is a great place to look too.
try to get my *kids* on gift.... Ugghhh I cannot type today.
*one* gift. I quit. LOL
I look for something I believe the receiver will really like that is of good quality and for the best price I can find.
After I have purchased my major gifts I like to look and see what I can find that is a great bargain.
I am all about a good bargain.
I luv cupons I alwaya wait for cupons to come out before buying something if I can save money why not right.
I am interested in bang for the buck. I find stores both brick and mortar and online that consistently sell interesting and useful gifts at a reasonable price and I stick with them. I don't like fluff, I like simple quality.
I'm pretty picky, so if I enjoy the quality of a particular product or service, I feel good giving it as a gift.
