The season for giving has Miss Bargainista in the mood for another giveaway! (You know I'm excited when I start talking in the third tense.)

Which scent would you like to win? The packaging alone will make you want to move in.

I always make home made caramels to give to friends, not expensive and oh so good!
Any of the scents would be great, they all sound delightful.
My money-saving tip for the holiday season: I use newspaper to wrap gifts or use the re-usable bags that I got over the years.
I'd be happy to win any of the 3 bottles of Benefit perfume.
I try to save money during the holidays by planning a list and sticking to it. I try to find things that are more meaningtful and useful to people and not over the top. This year I'm going to spend my time with people more as a gift because that is truly what the holidays should be about, spending time with family and friends!
And these are so cute! I'd be very happy to win any of the three!

To save money means not making impulse buys! Stay focused at the stores.

I am going to re-use holiday gift bags or use newspaper comics to wrap this year so I don't spend anything on wrapping.
I would be happy with any scent of the three! :)

Take advantage of gift card offers (i.e. buy X amount of money in gift cards, get a $20 one free). Less stress when it comes to deciding what to buy, and you get more bang for your buck :)
Lookin' to Rock Rita is my choice of fragrance. I tested it at Sephora not too long ago and loved it. Thanks for the chance! Happy Holidays!
ag1rlbrushedblue at yahoo.com
I try to combine sales with coupons and rebates I find to get the best bang for my buck. Also, for online deals, be sure to check for coupon codes online and see if you can stack them to make the deal even sweeter when sale time comes around. I hate paying shipping fees, so a percent off AND free shipping is a great deal in my book.

A money-saving tip for the holidays is to purchase $1 items at Target to create thoughtful gift baskets. For example, I found small packages unique coffee that would make an excellent filler for a gift basket. I like the perfumes in the following order: Eva, Rita, and then Carmella.

My money-saving tip is to take advantage of the deals on holidays foods that you can freeze like turkeys. This way you'll have a freezer full of foods that were purchased on the cheap!
I would love to win Lookin' to Rock Rita. :)
I love the idea of giving green gifts. Not only is it insurance for the environment but depending on what you buy, it can be easy on your wallet, as well.
I would like to win the "Lookin' to Rock Rita".

I suggest baking or making your own signature drink to give away. I prefer So Hooked On Carmella.
scarter305 at aol dot com
I'd love So Hooked On Carmella. I don't do any shopping unless I have a coupon. Ideally, I shop online and combine a free shipping offer, get an item that's already on sale, and an additional coupon on top of that! Also, for the people I won't be seeing until after Christmas day, I usually buy their gifts right after Dec. 25th when prices drop!

Home made gifts! Jars filled with hot chocolate mix make awesome gifts!
My holiday money saving tip is to check with others who will be buying for the child you are also buying for - perhaps you can buy an accessory for that gift (for example, a dress and little shoes for that doll someone else bought). I'd love to win the Lookin' to Rock Rita sounds like it'd smell just divine!
lettie1978 at gmail dot com
What an awesome giveaway! My holiday tip is to buy a couple different gift sets and split them up for a few different people. That way, someone gets one of everything instead of 10 lip glosses they may not want! I think the 'Lookin' to Rock Rita' would smell nice!
wall.trisha @ gmail dot com
money saver tip for me is i crochet blanket,hats.mittens and scarf. I would be happy with any of them! thanks
420jk369@gmail.com
I give homemade cookies & chocolate covered goodies. My friends and family always look forward to them.
I would be happy to win the Carmella one.
beejam6@hotmail.com
Holiday saving tips: 1, Use Shop At Home for online orders and 2, put together homemade goodie baskets with homemade candies, cookies and snacks, along with teas, coffees, and other nice additions you've collected from sales! I'd like the Rita or the Carmella fragrance. :-)
my tip would be for gifts for the younger kids, sometimes they like lots of small, cheaper gifts than 1 or 2 expensive gifts.
Jolynn_Reads@yahoo.com
My tip is to shop for Christmas gifts all year, so you can take advantage of sales and avoid last-minute high prices. I would be thrilled to win any of the three scents!

My bargin saving tip: Coupons! Everytime I see a coupon in a magazine, in the paper, online - I always clip it. And carry them with you at all time (like keep a binder in the car) You never know when you'll need them!

My holiday tip is to just give a home made gift. You may need to spend a little money to get some supplies but it would still be cheaper than buying something from the store.
I really like Eva but I would be happy with any of them.

I'm thinking fruity green or Carmella... And my tip is to buy early, like all year, to spread out the cost and find bargains. Also cuts down on December stress! belauvibes (at) yahoo (dot) com

I always shop online during the holidays. That way I can compare everything I buy and it usually turns out that I get a better price because of it.

My holiday savings tip is to get stocking stuffers at places like the Dollar Tree. Also, for the kids the $1.00 "silly bands" will defintely be a must. Look for coupons and sales for other great deals.
As far as the scent.. the Carmella one sounds great!

We save money giving gifts 2 ways. 1) we make a donation to charity(ies) in honor of the gift recipients and let them know in a card 2) our family draws names and we only give to 1 person with a limit of $10.
I would really enjoy RITA but would be happy with any of them.
Thanks for the opportunity!
kocoandviking[at]gmail[dot]com
My tip= have a list and a budget...sounds simple, but without it you realize later how much unecessary spending you've done!
Which perfume= I am not a choosy person. I would be happy with any!

I try to do few smaller less expensive items that I find on sale over one big ticket item.
I'm entering tons of giveaways and getting tons of samples to cut down on the things we have to pay for this holiday season.
I guess I will say I will take any of the fragrances and see what comes cause my 15 year old daughter would like Lookin' to Rock Rita but I would like So Hooked On Carmella.
