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!

My preference NOW AND ALWAYS is online ever since 4 years ago, I went to another store after searching for 7 hours at different stores for a barbie somethimg or another, and finally found one. Also went to boys dept. for a robe and I felt my buggy move and a lady had my barbie thing in her hand and I said “Pardon me, I’m buying that. This is my buggy.” Her reply was not nice and she took my barbie thing. I left my buggy and left the store. I now shop on-line and some things do have free shipping. Thank goodness for on-line everything.

I prefer online shopping. I can’t stand the crowds and circling around the parking lot looking for a space!

I prefer to shop online now that I have kids. It’s just too hard to shop with them. Before kids, I loved to go shopping in the stores. I still go once in a while when I can get my husband to stay home with them.

I definitly prefer online shopping b/c you don’t have to deal with the crowds!

I like both, it depends on my mood. I love to get away at night without kids and look through the stores, but it is easier when all of the kids at home to just shop online. Thanks, Tawna.

I prefer to shop online. But sometimes you have to see the items in person. So either way is fine with me.

I prefer Brick and Mortar stores…better opportunity for clearance and coupons.

I shop both in store and online. Sometimes there are things that are available only online, and some items are available in my local store.
