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. Save even more by signing up for a Borders Rewards card (you’ll get awesome coupons!) and/or utilizing the buy $50 in Borders gift cards get a bonus $10 GC program.

    oooh… i would get some of the melissa and doug puzzles… my daughter loves them! and some books on potty training… since it seems like she’s pretty susceptible to suggestions via books.

    I would get Melissa and Doug puzzles, and I read there is a list of books that were popular when we were a kid (The Velveteen Rabbit, The little Engine that Could, etc) and there is a current list of the books that are for the current generation…I would start this collection for my kids!

    Some Tomie dePaolo books for my 15 month old and definitely a board game for Mom and Dad! We are huge book lovers so I would have a great time with this!

    I would purchase Melissa and Doug floor puzzles for my kids. They love to fill the whole kitchen floor with puzzles.

    I would love to get this card, not only for the two children I have, but also for the one I’m expecting. I had gotten rid of a lot of my “baby toys”, but I kept the Melissa & Doug wooden train. I would love to be able to stock up on some new toys for our new addition.

    I always buy each of my kids a new holiday book for Christmas, I would get them some new holiday books. My 7 year old really likes the Harry Potter books and Goosebumps books, so I would get him some of those also. Thanks for the chance!

    I also would love the Melissa and Doug puzzles or cobblers bench for my 15 mon little boy! Thanks for the great giveaway!
