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 am definitely an online shopper! With a 2 1/2 year old and a 3 month old I have very little time to run around shopping, especially for my 2 1/2 year old since I obviously can’t do it while she’s with me. Plus I love when the UPS man comes to the door with a bunch of packages! :)

I have done 90% of my shopping this year online. With a toddler, it is SO much easier! Plus, I watch for free shipping and I go through ebates or shopathome, so it makes shopping online SO worth it!

I like to actually go to the store, but this year, with a 2 year old, I’m doing more and more on-line shopping.
Chrissy
I like go to “real” stores! Though, I have to say online shopping is starting to grow on me…

I like having the option of in-store or online. For stores in our area, I like to see the products in person, when possible. Then we can search for better deals online.

I like to actually see what I am buying at the store.

I prefer real, live stores though it is nice to shop at home in your jammies :)
Sophie
Defiantly purchasing stuff from their stores is my 1st choice unless they’re out of stock going online to check it out it always handy too.

I definitely prefer to shop from home. Love that. my hubby would love the sears GC he is a craftsman nut.

I still prefer to bargain hunt in the actual store, but I did need to order a few special items online. One of the most important gifts arrived damaged, so now I have to hope a new one arrives in time. That is certainly one of the reasons I am not going to completely online shopping.

I am loving online shopping this year for the first time! With 2 small kids it is so much easier to online shop after they are in bed than drag them to the stores. I do still enjoy shopping in stores if I can get there without kids!
