Great Gifts You Can Get for -- Free!
Let's be honest: There's nothing better than getting free stuff. Especially free stuff you can give as gifts this holiday season.
AOL Consumer Adviser Regina Lewis searched high and low and found plenty of items you'd never think you could get for nothing.
She shared her findings on "The Early Show" Friday, as we wrapped up a week of spotlighting super gifts at various low price points, from $100 on down.
The freebies Lewis found:
Bath & Body Works: Free item worth up to $13
Through Dec. 24, Bath & Body Works is offering a printable coupon that gets you a free product (worth up to $13) when you spend $10 or more. If you can't make it to the store, just use the online code "FREE4U" at checkout on BathandBodyWorks.com.
50 Free Photo Cards from KodakGallery.com
KodakGallery.com often runs freebie offers and right now, they are offering free photo Contact Cards, Mommy Cards and Birth Announcements. You get a free pack of 50. You are on the hook for $3.99 for shipping, but this still a nice freebie. We ordered a 50 pack of the Mommy Cards with a picture of the kids on the front and contact information on the back. These are great for busy moms who may not have a business card, but want something to hand out to people they meet. Maybe it's to help schedule a play date for the kids or if you want to meet for lunch. Very cute idea and again, free.

Free Magazine Subscriptions
A free year of "Working Mother" magazine and free year of "Spin" magazine. Sometimes, these kinds of offers are limited to a certain number of free subscriptions, so you have to hurry if you want to take advantage of them. It's a nice touch to buy them a starter issue at your local newsstand and then let them know the next twelve months are also covered.
