Savings will continue with Cyber Monday and Cyber Week deals on Kohls.com, including 20% off and free shipping for all purchases. During the holidays, each shopper shopper will also have the chance to win a dream shopping experience with Kohl's new "Dream Receipts" program, in which the retailer picks up the tab for one winner in every store every day, from Nov. 23 through Dec. 24.

And to give back this season, Kohl's will donate $1 to Toys for Tots, up to $500,000, for every new person who "Likes" Kohl's Facebook page between Nov. 23 and Dec. 24.
