gift rap.gifMoms deserve deals, and one way to get them is to check out blogs geared toward saving them money. The following blogs point out coupons, sales and giveaways through both mail-order or brick-and-mortar outlets, and help make shopping less expensive and more fun.


Deal Seeking Mom

Career-oriented Tara Kuczykowski turned stay-at-home mom--and needed to cut expenses in the process. Readers benefit from her coupon-clipping and deal-finding savvy, from groceries to body oils to discovering how moms can actually make money rather than spend it.

Freebies 4 Mom

Coupons, limited-time offers and sweepstakes geared toward moms. Win free Cheerios, iPhone cards, diapers and more with a few clicks of your mouse.

Cool Mom Picks

Under the motto "We find it, you flaunt it," CMP looks beyond day-to-day consumer goods to more design-y items such as ABC cups, green nursery items, and Alternative ABCs, an ABC book for children of alternative-indie parents (yes, "V" is for vegetarian).

5 Minutes for Mom

Site that connects moms to one another and writes about the range of issues they face--and throws in some retail therapy on the side, specifically giveaways of items such as IMAX tickets, software, novels, children's books, DVDs and more.

Fashion Cents for Mom

Like the site says, deals and bargains for the fashionable mom. Offers coupons for Old Navy and Target, fashion-magazine subscriptions, and a Trends section that dissects where fashion is heading (scarves that dress up your outfit, how turquoise is this year's hot color).

Passion for Savings

Deals on consumer goods, especially via Wal-Mart, Target and drugstores. Dozens of discounts on stuff you and your family need (dog food, snacks, moisturizers) or crave (Pillsbury sweet roll, anyone?).

Baby Cheapskate

Deals on stuff for the youngest ones in your family, including diapers, child-safe kitchenware and utensils, baby foods, strollers and more. Also includes retails coupons as well as codes for discounts from major retailers' sites.

MOMfinds

Finds clothing and accessories for kids, but also maternity jeans and nursing bras for mom. Also features a stylish (celebrity) mom of the week such as Naomi Watts, and breaks products down into Expecting, Baby, Boys and Girls.

GoodyBlog

This Parents.com blog operates under the philosophy "Must See I Must Do I Must Have Right Now," but all the retail stuff showcased in contests, giveaways and deals--DVDs, cute lipsticks, Scooba robotic floor-moppers--is just a cover for Parents magazine's main concern: content that helps you ensure your kid is healthy, happy, and generally off to a good start in life.

Gift Rap

Advice on gifts for kids, moms and dads, leaning towards gadgets. Exhibit No. 1: the Texthook, a smart-phone cradle that attaches to a stroller's handlebars. Also checks out toys from the latest movies, cookbooks for dads, summertime serving sets, and the occasional giant margarita glass.
