If you’re looking for a truly flexible gift that’s a little more personal than cash, Sears’ new gift cards may be the answer. Now, you can use your Sears gift card at Sears, Kmart, The Great Indoors and Lands’ End, making it easier for recipients to find something they want or need!
Sears sent me a $200 gift card to experience the flexibility that it offers firsthand, and I have to tell you, it really was that simple. I was able to shop from the comfort of my own home (in my PJs I might add) and check off a good portion of the items that were on my Christmas gift list.
Would you like to see what I got?
I’ve mentioned before that we have a tradition of buying our kids new jammies that are a present from Mom and Dad that they receive on Christmas Eve, so I was able to pick up five pairs of fleece pajamas (2 pink and 3 green) from Land’s End. These should make for some cute Christmas morning photos!
I was lucky enough to get 25% off and free shipping, so that left me a decent amount to spend at my next stop, Kmart.
I was able to pick up the last two items we needed for our two oldest boys’ main gift of the year — a PlayStation 3 courtesy of saving up my Swag Bucks! I had just enough to score this cool metallic blue PS3 controller and the component cables to hook it up to the TV.
I honestly had no idea that Sears gift cards could be used anywhere else other than Sears prior to working with them on this project. Being able to shop multiple stores is not only convenient, but it makes a Sears gift card a good choice for a family gift because you’re sure to find something for everyone between the four stores you can use it at.
But why not try it for yourself? Sears didn’t want to leave my wonderful readers empty handed, so two lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a $50 Sears gift card so they too can experience the convenience and flexibility!

Online is the biggest part of my shopping strategy, but I still need my “fix” of wandering aisles and touching things that online shopping doesn’t allow for.

I love shopping in my pj’s so it’s online for me.
Josephine
If the deal is good enough, I will shop on-line.
alexis
I am a combo shopper…I love to touch and feel clothes so i like to buy those brick and mortar…but just about everything else I prefer online. :)
sarah
I prefer to shop in store. I just have to be able to see and feel what I am buying.
Sheila Renee
I’m at a toss up between the two. Love shopping online for convenience, avoiding lines and madness. But looove brick and mortars because sometimes the clearance or sale selection is better if you’re willing to dig, and you walk out with your items in hand. Yeah, I’m one of those impatient people. :)
Heather
I love staying in my pjs when I want! Give me the internet!
Sheila Renee
And yes, currently am and always will be a subscriber.
Molly
Definitely in the stores. You always know exactly what you’re buying with no shipping costs. The only thing that’s better about online is more products!
Jeff
Definately in stores. I do not like to pay shipping and I like to try on things to know if they fit.
Kimberly in NC
I prefer online shopping especially when I can get free shipping!
Brenda
Lately I have been doing more online shopping because of the weather and I don’t have to drag the kids along in the cold.
Lisa
I have never shopped online besides ebay. I love to see the item in person.
K. Rock
I definitely prefer going to stores. It’s nothing like shopping!!
K. Rock
I get your feed.
Janet
I do a little of both, but only when there is free shipping and it is an item I cann’t find in stores. Friday is my birthday, This would make a great treat for myself. hehe.
Caroline
Usually, I like to go to the store. I like to touch things before I buy or try things on etc.
megan
I like to go the stores and actually see the items I am interested in buying.
kathy
I like shopping on line if I can get free shipping.
thanks for your blog.
Courtney
Used to like the physical act of shopping. With a new baby at home, online shopping (with free shipping, of course!) is the way to go!
