Win a $100 Borders Gift Card!

Borders Toys and Games
When you think about Borders, a large selection of books neatly lined up on shelves is probably what comes to mind. I know that was my first thought. But Borders recently expanded over 500 of their stores to include a wonderful selection of high-quality educational toys and games, including one of my favorites, Melissa & Doug toys.

Borders recently gave me a $100 gift card to check out their new lineup, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out just how far I was able to stretch this money. All together I managed to score six different Melissa & Doug toys, two I Spy books, an illustrated book of military airplanes, and a small collection of Mickey Mouse board books with a figurine for my “Mickeh Mou” lovin’ baby boy. I came in slightly over budget at $117, but that also included another children’s book that I picked up to donate to the Borders Charity Book Drive.

I found the selection to be quite varied, with choices that encompassed the varied interests of all five of my children, and the employees were extremely helpful. Both ladies working at the store were visited were very knowledgeable and offered suggestions on the best items to choose and were able to help us find exactly what we were searching for.

By the way, if you love the adorable lineup of Melissa & Doug toys, you’ll be excited to know that they are buy one get one 50% off through December 28th! I sometimes think I get just as much enjoyment out of them as my kids do.

    I was just at Borders yesterday and there are so many things I wanted for myself and to give as gifts. I would use the gift card to get some of the children’s activity books.

    I love the Melissa & Doug toys. I would buy the wooden kitchen stuff for my goddaughter and my son loves the puzzles so I would get puzzles for him. Of course, I would see what other stuff they have out too.

    my 3 yr old loves puzzles so I would probably purchase some of those, as well as some children’s books. Thanks for the offer!

    I’d buy puzzle books for my son, stationery for my daughter(so she can write home from school!). And maybe even an book for myself!

  22. Tara J.

    I would buy educational books and toys for my adorable almost 3 year old little boy – the angel of my life!!!

    Def Melissa and Doug wooden puzzles. They are out of my price range so being able to have the gc would help me to purchase these items. Also any Elmo books as my 18m old son is ALL about Elmo!

  28. Mary

    I would buy a bunch of preschool board games for my son and complete our collection of Mo Willems books!

    Wow, this is a great giveaway. I could actually get something without a coupon, LOL. My kids love all the games and books at borders, it really wouldn’t be hard to find them something nice there for Christmas. I’m going to have a new niece in about two weeks who would enjoy the hand puppets. Also, Mama loves their coffee too! Thanks so much!
