Don’t you just love October? The cool breezes carries the scent of Fall into homes everywhere. Looming in the distance, there is the faint but sure sound of the upcoming holidays. With a simple flip of the calendar our thoughts turn to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

It is never too early to begin preparing for the holidays. To help make your holidays more beautiful and less stressful this season, while saving your dollars and stretching your pennies, we have gathered a short list of discounted gift cards with suggestions on how to use them toward your holiday decorating to-do list.

1. No Fall dining table is complete without an ornate centerpiece, whether it is just for your own decorating enjoyment or for your Thanksgiving dinner. 1-800-Flowers.com has an awesome selection of Fall holiday centerpieces, and this gift card could be yours for 25% off.  You will also be able to find the perfect arrangement for your Christmas dinner table decorations.

2. Home Depot is a great place to buy pumpkins, carving tools and other items to make your holidays festive. These Home Depot Gift Cards won’t last long and when the time comes, you will be able to save up to 8% on your Christmas tree.

3. Deck the halls with beautiful decorations from Pier One Imports. Right now Pier One Imports Gift Cards are 15% off. But hurry, that discount is subject to change.

4. You are going to need juice to light up your pumpkins and also your Christmas tree. You can find all of your extension cords and electrical at Radio Shack. Save up to 9% on all your electrical supplies when you shop with a Radio Shack Gift Card.

Once you finish decorating for the holidays you are going to be tired. Why not treat yourself to a nice meal at a Claim Jumper Restaurant? Or you could take in a film at an AMC theater near you using this 14% off gift card. Decorating for the holidays should be a joy not a chore. Hopefully, these gift cards will make that possible.
