Bed Bath & Beyond

While it may be a bit unconventional, coupons for the giant socks draped from your mantel will be a welcome surprise. The most important thing to keep in mind when selecting coupons is matching the receiver with coupons they want and will use. This is not a time to toss in grocery insert or some random diaper coupons. Keep the discounts thoughtful and they will be deeply appreciated.

Chick-fil-A Calendar
I'm a bit biased toward the clever cows at Chick-fil-a. Their food far exceeds most other drive-thru joints and is much healthier as well. The cows put out a coupon calendar each year with monthly specials--for just $6 you can purchase over $30 worth of coupons. For the avid Chick-fil-a frequenter, buy a $20 gift card to include in the stocking and get the calendar for free.

Homemade Coupons
Poor Mom and Dad tend to feel left out when it comes to meaningful stocking stuffers. They are the ones who invest time and energy into preparing a memorable holiday yet often don't receive much thanks. Kids, step up to the plate and show your appreciate with the gift of time!

If you live in a major metropolitan area, giving the gift of local and restaurant coupons. Make sure the book has coupons your loved one will actually use--nothing's worse than a book of useless discounts. Ranging between $24-$30 the Entertainment Book offers hundreds of coupons on attractions and food. Great for the bargain hound in your family!

Grocery Coupons for Favorite Products
You might feel like a cheapskate trying to pass off grocery coupons as a gift. But if your loved one is a die-hard discount fiend, she will appreciate it more than you know. Get creative with presentation. Make a simple index card book and buy photo corners to hold one coupon on each page. Hole punch in the corner of your book and secure with a decorative ring. Only select coupons that she uses--observation is key and will make her feel appreciated.

Home Decor Coupons for Her
What could be better than a voucher for those curtains she wants accompanied by a coupon you scouted out? Take gift giving to the next level--think about what she would like and then make the effort to find a coupon for it. Consider both printable coupons and online coupons to open your options.

Stepping a little further outside the box, giving a CityPass as a stocking stuffer will save up to 60% on local attractions. Chances are you haven't discovered the treasures in your own backyard--giving a discounted tour of your own city makes for fun, cheap entertainment.
