At Nordstrom free gifts are added to your cart automatically once you meet the spending requirements of the offer. Shipping at Nordstorm is free if you spend $100 or more when you enter code HOLIDAY8 at checkout, that code will work until December 19.

Benefit Cosmetics has started a new Beauty Bucks program. You can get $10 off a $50 order with code BEAUTY10 at checkout, and you can get $25 off a $100 order with code BEAUTY25 at checkout. Both codes expire December 15 and each code will work once per customer. And I just learned today that you can combine those codes with the code DECEMBER on the last page of checkout to also receive free shipping! (It says you can only use one code per order, but they’ve relaxed the restriction this month, so on the last page of checkout add the DECEMBER code and it will accept both codes.)

Biotherm is offering free shipping on any order with code LUVBIO at checkout through December 11. Your skin will love you if you try my two favorite winter survival Biotherm products: Baume Corps Intensive Body Treatment with Apricot Oil and Biomains Hand and Nail Treatment.

Both codes expire December 14.

And the rest of the new coupons:
