How about something for Christmas that gets the kids outside and wears off some energy?!
Rockboard Scooters are a great option for Christmas gifts to get your kids moving! These scooters are actually two scooter in one! They allow your kids to cruise easily across rough pavement or it converts into a classic kick scooter. On the Rockboard Scooter, your child propels the scooter up to 10 mph by moving back and forth on the step – sort of like a see saw. The faster your child rocks, the faster the scooter goes. The reinforced handlebars help your child scoot safely and the entire thing folds up so it can be taken anywhere!
Rockboard Scooters come in two sizes – original and mini so kids of all ages can enjoy. The mini at $159 is for ages 5+ and original at $199 is for 8+ with a weight limit of 200 lbs. You can get the original Rockboard Scooters in four different colors – white, orange, blue and pink. Grab one online at Target and get free shipping too!

The Walgreens Black Friday Ad is looking pretty fun. We’ve had the deals all week, but now it’s time to start talking transactions. This really isn’t the easiest store to start in but I know many of you won’t listen to me…
Things never work exactly the way you thought they would and odds are at least one of these deal won’t print (not because you did anything wrong). It is best to keep your transaction numbers low. Just group things into two to three groups and use the RR from one to pay for the second.
It was hard to keep the out of pocket low and do this in the least number of transactions. But hopefully this is helpful.

A big weekend is coming soon at CVS. The Black Friday deals have been up for a few days now, but I was waiting until we got final word on the coupons coming this weekend to make any deal ideas. It’s officially time to start planning now. The deals below mostly only include the free items. The bottom deal throws in a hair dryer too, and you still come out $11 ahead!
Check out all deals in the CVS Black Friday Ad.
Normally I would try to get everything into 4 deals or less, but to reduce out of pocket expenses this has a few extra. Please be sweet and jump to the back of the line if someone comes up behind you and isn’t doing what you are doing.

I’m already scared to tell someone who is just starting out to do four deals, but this includes all of the free items. You are still allowed 3 more Revlon nail polishes, but I doubt you have more coupons and 2 more Irish Spring Deodorants. You’ve done great though and it’s best to just go home now… If the ECB’s are burning a whole in your pocket use them towards some of the gift card promotion items so that you get some Christmas gifts covered and get a gift card back.

I love anything shiny, or that’s what my husband thinks anyway. He’s probably right. A safe bet for Christmas presents is always jewelry. Step that up a notch with jewelry that reminds them of the meaning of Christmas and God’s love for them.
Enter DaySpring and you’ve got an amazing store that sells beautiful Christian jewelry (and cards, gifts, books etc.). I love working with them because of the meaningful message they send with every one of their products. Their vision is to connect people with the heart of God through messages of hope and encouragement every day, everywhere. DaySpring also strives to give Christians tool for communication in fresh, new ways.
A couple of weeks ago, they sent me some beautiful pieces of jewelery to try out for myself. Every piece was beautiful and well-made with a reminder of God’s love and grace stamped on it. My favorite item was the God’s Heart for You sterling silver necklace. It’s simple and beautiful and says, “created, chosen, celebrated, and cherished” all the way around it. I’ve been wearing it pretty much constantly the past few weeks and already had the chance to get into a few conversations about it and the words on it.
The Giveaway:
DaySpring is giving $100 DaySpring credit to one Southern Savers reader! You get to pick what you want from their large selection of gifts, books and more.
