Don’t be shy about creating a wish list this holiday season because it can help you save money! Yes, the kids can get exactly what they wished for and you can get money back for creating that wish list for them. Also, check out other deals you can get in on to save on toy shopping in this week’s edition of Local Steals & Deals.

• Amazon: Planning to complete your holiday shopping online? Look for a wishlist! Create and share your Amazon Wishlist and you’ll receive a $5 Amazon coupon valid on a $35+ purchase. The coupon must be used by Dec. 15. There’s a limit of one promotional credit per customer.
   
• Toys R Us: If you created a Wish List at Toys R Us before Nov. 27 or know of someone who did, make sure to purchase from the Wish List. When a total of $100 or more is purchased from the wish list (in store or online), the creator of the wish list gets a $10 promotional gift card via email.
