Gift Card Exchange, Your New Holiday Helper
2011
I’m a thoughtful gift giver or at least I would like to think so. I pretty much drive myself insane during the holiday’s trying to find the perfect gift for everyone from Mr. M2C to the lady that grooms my dog. I have found through the years that some people do not put the same amount of thought into gift selection. I know, it’s not about the gifts but a gift card from a sporting goods store doesn’t really put me in the holiday spirit. Running a marathon is on my bucket list but I’m not ready to buy those running shoes just yet. After sitting on my less than coveted gift card for some time, I started searching for a good use for it. I finally came across the best gift card exchange. At the end of the day I was rid of my old gift card, picked up one for a place I love and ordered a new cupcake pan. All in a days work! I asked Mr. M2C if he had any unused gift cards and he had more than a few. We exchanged them for one store card and bought all of Cole’s birthday gifts! He is going to have a great birthday and it didn’t take any money out of my grocery budget. Managing money is always on my mind so when I can re-purpose funds to better the family, I am all for it. This holiday season when you get a gift card that doesn’t exactly jingle your bells, exchange it and buy that thing you were really wishing for! Now, I also have the issue of living 3000 miles away from my family as well as Mr. M2C family. I can’t stand to pay for shipping so I fall back on gift cards. The kids love them because they get to shop for themselves and I can ship it across the country for the cost of a postage stamp. By visiting a gift card exchange I can also buy discounted gift cards! I can cover everyone in the family for less than I would normally pay. In today’s world, it’s all about stretching your money without sacrificing. Make the most of the holidays this year but don’t go broke doing it! Happy Holidays!
