Holiday shopping can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a pretty big hit to your bank account if you don't plan it right. It's so, so important to shop smart during the holidays.
One way to make sure you're saving is to keep an eye on shipping costs. During the holidays, shipping is chaos, and it can get pricey. Your best bet, whether you're shopping at many different stores or picking up bigger items, is to find places with free shipping. If you order ahead and take advantage, free shipping can make a huge difference in the final cost of your holiday shopping.
Luckily, these stores are offering free shipping during the holidays, making it easy to pick up some great gifts.
Macy's
Macy's has it all, from homewares and fragrances to cosmetics and apparel for all ages and genders. It's a great one-stop shop for checking off a few people on your shopping list, and it offers free shipping in one to five business days on practically every order. Deals like the Friends & Family sale offer deep discounts as the clock runs out on holiday shopping.
Target
There's no place quite like Target, and its holiday deals only make matters sweeter. Scope out toys for the kids, and find something enjoyable for your partner, whether they're the indoorsy or outdoorsy type.

Everyone could use a good pair of shoes, and Zappos has that in spades. It's also one of the places that blessedly always offers free shipping, which takes five to 10 business days. That gives you time to pick up cute slippers for the whole family, like these Steve Madden Shylo Slippers.
