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 to shop online as I just don’t seem to have the time to go out and shop in the physical store. Plus when I am at home it helps me to control my impulse purchases by giving me time to really think about what I am purchasing.

I prefer to shop online it helps me control my spending and gives me the time I need to carefully plan my purchases avoiding those unwanted impulse purchases.
maria
I prefer to shop in the store.

I prefer to shop online if its free shipping and I have a coupon. I have 3 kids and they don’t let me shop in the stores!
Alissa
I like both for different reasons. Online because it’s easy, especially if I know what I want and know where I can get it for a good price. In-store when I need to see/feel the item before purchasing.

I’m torn, both have their advantages and disadvantages. I do B&M just because I work in a mall, so it’s easier to shop, but I peruse the websites to compare deals (and buy if there’s decent or free shipping)
Connie
As a mother of 3 boys, ages 4 and under, you can imagine that I don’t get to satisfy my in-store shopping appetite often! Online shopping has saved my sanity and has allowed me to still get rockin’ deals at the same time…

I prefer shopping online. I live in a rural area and only have time to hit the stores on weekends when they are more crowded. Online shopping is so much more relaxing and I can do it any time of the day!
