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 follow you by your email newsletters…If I won the gift certificate I would give it to my daughter she is majoring in Education and she wants to build up her library for herself so once she begins teaching she will have a library. I have bought her many books already but you could never have enough for the kids. Thank you for all that you do…. :-)

    I would get Doug & Melissa puzzles for my 1 year old triplets for christmas and definitely check out all of their other educational toys for that age.

    I’m a subscriber! Great prize! I would buy a gardening or decorating book for me, a couple of books for my teenage daughter and I would buy some toys for a needy family the church is helping out.

    I would get my son a few M&D puzzles and the band/musical instruments along with tons of new books, my little guy who is 18 months old loves books, especially those with just one word on the page and a picture of that particular word.

    As a mom of three boys, I have heard so much about Melissa and Doug products, but never have owned any. I would love to try out some puzzles for my youngest, definitely some I Spy books for my little detective and for my history buff I’d have to check out those military plane books. It’s great to know that Borders is expanding its “borders”!

    I would love to win this giftcard! I have 9 siblings, and 5 of them are under 14, so I would have a blast picking out all of the classic games that we have played and loved to their honorable deaths. :)
    Thanks so much for the opportunity – this is a great blog!
