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 used to prefer brick and mortar stores, but this year I have done over 75% of my shopping online and I have loved it. Although I’m not sure that my mail carrier and UPS driver have loved it as much as I have. :)

I go back and forth – somedays it’s much easier to shop online but with clothes and towels and stuff like that I like to “feel” them before buying so tend to prefer to do that in store.

If there is free shipping, I prefer to do some shopping online. But you’ve got to do some actual store shopping, too… it just doesn’t seem like the holidays until you’ve been out in all that craziness!!
Maxine
I do both, but prefer going to the stores, if the product is there!

It all depends on what am I buying. but most likely I like to shop online since it tend to have great online deals. Some stuff like shoes or if its only store deal I go in stores. your deals always seems to attract me and I like to do online shopping avoiding lines.

Recently, I have started liking Sears. I got a really cute pea coat from them for $50. I prefer shopping in person when I’m buying clothes for myself, but if it’s non clothes and the shipping is free, I don’t care to shop online if I had faster internet!

This year I’ve mainly done online shopping and it couldn’t be easier. Always go to a coupon code site and check for promotional codes to save even more.

I like the hustle and bustle of shopping at a store but, I do not have a lot of time so I do online shopping after the kids are in bed!
Thanks!
