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!

If I’m shopping for clothes, I prefer to go into the store itself. Anything other than clothes, online shopping is the way to go! Thanks!

I’ve done all my shopping online this year….a first for me. I do miss the atmosphere of the holidays in stores though.

I’m an avid online shopper. The only store we have to shop at where is live is a Walmart…..not exactly my favorite! I love being able to shop when I want, in my PJs, at work, etc!!

I love to do most my shopping online. It’s so convenient and most of the time you can get free shipping!

I research on line, then go to the store to see the item in person and then buy either at store or online, depending on which is cheaper.

I think that online shopping is easier, however, with some items you have to go to the store to see ‘up close and personal’
Thanks for the opportunity to win this!

I like shopping at the store. I also shop online, but I won’t pay shipping on items I can get local.
Crystal
I usually like to shop in the stores, especially for clothes, so I can see if they really fit. I shop in stores more than online.
Kisha Floren
I totally prefer shopping online! No parking, lines, or people. It’s the best!

I actually would prefer to shop in a store BUT i have bad anxiety and it prevents me from really shopping out of my comfort range. SO, i shop online and find it to be very easy and great coupon codes!
Congrats on the gift card!

I used to be a shop-til-you-drop kind of gal, until Multiple sclerosis struck. It was quite depressing for awhile….until I found I could still shop just online! I still prefer the brick and mortar, I think you get better deals, but I thank God for online shopping, and as a plus, its always fun to get packages in the mail.
