Grab Your Last Minute Gift Cards and Grab Fuel Savings #GEGCFuel20

This post is sponsored by Tatu Media.  Giveaway is also sponsored by Tatu Media.  Any opinions expressed are my own. 

Here we are, less than a week until Christmas.  Panicked yet?  Don’t be, gift cards are a great last minute gift idea. Your recipient can get what they want, you can set the price for your budget, and best of all you can grab some savings when you buy gift cards at Giant Eagle.  I have a Giant Eagle only a few miles from my home.  When I need to buy gift cards, it’s the first place I turn to.  Why? Because of the FuelPerks of course!

From now until Christmas Eve (December 24) you can earn 20 cent FuelPerks for every $50 you spend on select gift cards including ALL restaurant gift cards.  During the holidays those savings could really add up.  Say you’re buying a $25 gift card for your sister, a $25 gift card for your friend, and a $50 gift card for your in-laws to go out and eat that’s $100 in gift cards and you earn 40 cent FuelPerks that way.  With the gas prices dropping around the country the savings would be like giving yourself a gift.

Another idea, Let’s say you’re buying someone on  your list a video game that costs $50 and you were planning on buying it at Best Buy.  Go buy a $50 Best Buy gift card at Giant Eagle then use that Best Buy gift card to buy the video game you were planning on buying.  Not only would you take care of the gift you were going to buy anyway but you just knocked 20 cents off per gallon on your next fuel up at GetGo!  See how that works?

Don’t forget, the 20 cent FuelPerks end 12/24/14 so grab your gifts and grab fuel savings!

  •  Earn 20¢ fuelperks! For every $50 you spend on select gift cards including
    ALL restaurant cards
  • Dates: 12/18 to 12/25
  • Valid for All restaurant gift cards + American Express, MasterCard
    Check store for details

Holiday Guide 2014

When you’re looking for something special to give someone to let them know really put some thought into the gift you’re giving, personalized gifts are a good direction to go.  Personalized gifts can be more than just mugs or photos.  It can really help make a house feel more like home.

Giftsforyounow.com has lots of beautiful personalized gift ideas.  One of the categories I really liked on their site is the word art section.  You can create pillows, clothing, and more with a theme you like.  Maybe to show support for someone, maybe to create something family oriented.  I loved the word art pillows.  Particularly, the welcome home word art pillow.

You can pick from different color schemes for the word colors on the pillow.  You even have the option to add in your own words to the word cloud.  I’ll admit I didn’t add any in, I used the preset words.  I really liked the preset words of: Memories, Laugh, Tradition, Together, Love, Family.  I think this reminds me of my family.  We have a lot of traditions, especially for the holidays but really all year.  We’ve had people make comments to us like “your family really has a lot of traditions”.  I think we’ve done it for so long we don’t really think about how many we have.    The color scheme I chose went well with my living room.  The brown couch, with the burgundy accents. The pop of white makes the pillow stand out on my couch.

The cover is removable so it can be washed.  The pillow itself is soft while the cover is a canvas type fabric.  Wouldn’t this pillow be lovely to add to a family gift basket or give with a blanket?  They also have personalized cutting boards, welcome mats, Christmas decor, and lots more . Check out my review on some of their personalized Christmas decor from giftsforyounow.com.

Holiday Guide 2014

If our Christmas tree has a theme, it would be memories.  That’s the best way to describe it.  Most of our ornaments are things like “baby’s 1st Christmas”, family ornaments, “our first Christmas together”, you know things like that.  Each of my kids got an ornament for their first Christmas some got a few.  I’d buy one then my dad would buy one and maybe my MIL.  I love looking through our tree and having the ornaments bring back memories.  The one thing that was glaringly obvious to me was that we didn’t have a family ornament with our daughter (who was born last year) on it yet .  It’s hard finding personalized family ornaments for a family of 6. It seems most are for families of 4 or 5.  Giftsforyounow.com had a couple choices for me.  I found this cute ornament “personalized white mantel ornament

gifts for you now ornament

 

This is a well made ceramic ornament.  They did the personalization and had it to me in about a week. You can get it personalized the way you want it.  FYI I also like that glitter aspect of it.  I try to squeeze glitter in wherever I can!

The next thing I realized when I was putting stockings up is that each kid had a fancy stocking with their name on it, except for my daughter.  She kinda just had a red stocking we probably got along with a gift or from an event. I wanted something Christmasy and girlier for her.  I found this cute personalized stocking on Giftsforyounow.com

I love it. It’s super soft, thick, and the bow gives it that girly touch I was looking for. They have so many cute stockings to choose from.  Stockings with camo print, Christmas scenes, different colors, and they can all be personalized if you like.  There are lots of gift ideas and holiday decor on giftsforyounow.com that can be personalized for you or your recipient.  Tree skirts, welcome mats, entertaining products, and more. Check out my review of one of their personalized gifts too!

They have premium ground shipping guaranteed by Christmas when you order by December 18, 2014.

Christmas Display Not What You Want It To Be? Check Out LEDgen Lighting

I received the below mentioned product in order to complete an honest review.  Any opinions expressed are my own.  

Every year when I set up my Christmas lights I think, I’d like more.  The other aspect is that I’ve been wanting to look into one of those timers.  You know the timers that turn your lights on and shut them off at the same time every day so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn them off before you go to bed or forget to turn them on at all.

If you’ve been thinking about that too LEDgenlighting.com has lots of options for you.  Lights, replacement bulbs, display, light up wreaths, timers, plug receptacles, just about anything you need for lighting check them out.

I got a strand of lights to add to my outdoor lights.  I also got some white electrical tape to help secure some of the lights around the windows inside and the timer I was telling you about.

Blog 001

I was a little nervous about the timer.  I never used a timer before.  I fully expected it to be complicated and I really hate to ask my husband for help on stuff like that.  I’m just stubborn, that’s all.  So I get the device and you can plug two plugs into it.  There is a dial and a bunch of gray tabs going around it.  I’m reading the directions and i think, “this doesn’t sound too complicated” We shall see I suppose.

The electrical tape I got was really reasonable too. They had it in a bunch of different colors.  I got white electrical tape hoping it would blend in better on my window seals to use with my lights.  I used it when I put my son’s battery operated lights up in his window.  You can barely see it right?

Blog 003

 

They have a lot of cool lighting supplies on their site.  I love the LED snowflakes and the LED trees are cool too. What would you add to your light display from ledgenlighting.com?
