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!

I prefer online for things I don’t have to try on, such as CDs and books, but brick and mortar for clothing. I haven’t had good luck ordering clothing online, and I like to reassure myself that the item I get will fit. I also like to see what things really look like (as far as clothing) and feel like.
Brittany
I prefer going to the actual store and shopping.

when it comes to sears, I prefer shopping online and then picking up the order at the store. That way if it’s a gift, the recipient can return the item easily and I find that the lines are generally shorter when picking up an order rather than shopping and waiting in line.

I definitely prefer to go shop around in the stores. I’m too picky to rely on an internet image!
Heather
I prefer shopping online… We live in the boonies, so driving to the store is an all day event! :)

I love the convenience of online shopping for most items, but for some things you just have to go and try on the items before you buy them.

I like to shop online when there are great deals and it is more convenient. I also like to shop in stores so I can see or feel things in person.
