I would love to win this to help out with our christmas gifts for people. I could get so much for people. Especially Kohls, my mother in law loves the clothing from there and I’m dying for a cute pair of boots. Thanks.

I’m looking forward to the “fun gifts” because I need a little inspiration this year for a few hard to buy for people. Thanks!

 
Elizabeth M. | 2008-12-07 21:22:54

This sounds like it’ll be fun! I’m putting your button on my blog!

 
Andi | 2008-12-07 22:29:44

I’m on it. Blog Posted.

 
Lynn Worley | 2008-12-08 00:51:56

This is easy! I’d send it to a friend who’s husband lost his job and who’s daughter needs her 4th open heart surgery. They’re fighting to make the insurance payment……
And it wouldn’t help for me to put it on my blog…never write on it and nobody goes there anyway…..

 
Kelly | 2008-12-08 07:33:33

My daughter’s friend is having an art show for children in an under privilaged area of town on December 20 and is in desparate need of art supplies for the event. I would use the Visa card for art supplies for those kids. PS Love the blog!

 
Meredith | 2008-12-08 07:35:41

I’d buy fencing for my backyard! We have a large dog and she’s sooo smart, she can open doors! We have to constantly lock our doors, because if we forget, she’ll get out and run the neighbor hood when we aren’t paying attention. Go to look for her and she’s gone! It’d be LOVELY to have our backyard fenced in so she could escape, but still be on our property (she’s not such a great jumper LOL)

 
sandra kao | 2008-12-08 07:57:15

i’d use the gift card to put towards my husband’s 40th birthday bash.

 
Laura | 2008-12-08 07:59:09

You are on my blogroll, thanks!

 
Michelle C. | 2008-12-08 08:17:55

I would buy a new comforter for our bedroom. The one we have is pretty old and keeps tearing in different places but we’re living on a student budget and can’t afford a new one right now.

 
Perri | 2008-12-08 09:23:47

I blogged about it :)

 
Jessica | 2008-12-08 10:20:53

What a great giveaway! I love the category “For people you don’t even like” so true!!! If I won I would buy my little sis some awesome clothes from Kohl’s because she is practically our live in nanny since I had my 2nd baby. Love her!

 
Shanna | 2008-12-08 10:47:54

My 6 year old needs some new pants so bad, his pants are like 2 inches to short. I could really use this!

 
Amy B. | 2008-12-08 10:48:57

I would buy my kids something. Thank you so much for the chance to win a great prize.

 
Michelle Simons | 2008-12-08 11:55:29

Not sure if this is the right place to post, I will look more too. But i would use on some tools for myself. I need a socket set for my car cause i have to fix everything myself.

 
Teresa | 2008-12-08 12:40:41

I’m not exactly sure what I’d do with it. We’ve been very blessed this year, so I think I would give it away. Most of my Christmas shopping is already done!

 
Deanna | 2008-12-08 13:20:10

I would take my good friend shopping and we would split the prize. She has had a very difficult year. She had to move last spring and we are now over an hour away from each other. I think it would really lift her spirits to have a fun day shopping for herself.

 
Jeanne | 2008-12-08 13:58:38

I’m curious about the For People You Don’t Even Like gifts – this should have some good stuff!

 
anna | 2008-12-08 14:11:30

i would use any of these giftcards to buy my newborn nephew some nice clothes:)

 
DeAnn S | 2008-12-08 15:50:53

I would love to win this giveaway, It will help out in so many ways and it would every family that is entering. I would purchase a couple thing for my son for his Ipod, the portable speakers he want or maybe the solar chargeing setup looks pretty cool also.. Thanks for the great give away Happy holidays

 
Stacie | 2008-12-08 16:46:47

I would use the gift card to buy my children some gifts for Christmas. I’m no longer working so money is tight and it would come in handy right now!

 
Meagan DeLong | 2008-12-08 18:16:13

I’m having a baby in January and would love to be able to buy some cute baby clothes!

 
judy brittle | 2008-12-08 18:20:34

What a fantastic prize! I would buy my grandkids some much needed clothes. Thank you!

 
Jacquie | 2008-12-08 19:15:34

Well $100 would work miracles in my house these days.

I’d do a blog post but have never figured out how to do the link thingy :-( I’ll try though.

 
Barbara Leatham | 2008-12-08 20:03:52

Hi! I’d love to win this. I’d buy my 10 yr old daughter some more clothes and some shoes. She grows out of everything faster than we can make money to buy more!

Thanks so much!

Brenda Callahan | 2008-12-08 20:05:33

thanks so much for opportunity!
right now… winter gear for kids is required. we have none since they shot up in leaps and bounds this year….
my 7 year old daughter went from a size youth 3 in shoes to a womans 6 from July until now…. I can’t keep up! haha

 
Karen R | 2008-12-08 21:55:51

I would use the Visa card for groceries. If I won the Kohl’s card I would shop the after Christmas sale for clothes for Rylee.

 
Malaika | 2008-12-08 22:08:02

Choosing gifts isn´t usually the problem for me it´s the affording the gifts so any one of these gift cards would be a huge blessing. I really want to get something tech-y and nice for the men in my life, my father, husband and brother. I´ll be back later to check out the ideas. My fingers are crossed for a GC. Thanks for the chance to win.

 
Christina | 2008-12-08 22:28:24

I would use the Visa card for Christmas presents and the Kohls card for a new pair of earrings and some clothes.

 
Barbara | 2008-12-09 07:16:16

loved the picture key-chain. just what a grandma needs to show off her grandchildren to everyone she meets

 
aimee | 2008-12-09 08:43:34

What a great giveaway. I am so glad to discover your site. The gift cards would be used to buy clothes for the boys.

 
Michelle Miller | 2008-12-09 09:22:37

Wow!! I would totally love to win…I would buy my mother-in-law some extra goodies for Christmas because she does so much for me, my husband, and our two baby girls…I am excited already!

 
Diane | 2008-12-09 11:03:39

I would buy something for my son, who is away for college.

 
Ursula | 2008-12-09 12:54:36

What a wonderful giveaway–I would use it to buy Christmas presents. I haven’t been able to start my Christmas shopping yet (have four children) as we haven’t had the extra funds. This would be a super prize to win! Thanks.

 
Marla | 2008-12-09 13:21:37

I would use these 2 get gifts for 3 girls being raised by a single father. These girls were terribly abused by their mother up until last year when their dad was finally able to get custody of them. I would love to give them a loving Christmas they will remember for years to come. Thank you for the entry

 
Andreah | 2008-12-09 15:33:15

I would use the gift cards to buy some gifts for a friend’s children that are in need. Thanks!

 
Maggie M | 2008-12-09 18:35:30

I would use the gift cards to purchase Christmas presents for my family members. I have been so financially strapped this year, I can use all the help I can get. I have purchased a few items, but the funds have already run out. I’m beginning to worry.

mannequin | 2008-12-10 06:58:06

You have such great gift ideas; I am sooo impressed. Normally, I don’t care for gift guides as I have my own ideas but you’ve given me all NEW ideas!
I’d love to win that 100 Visa as I really, really need a Ridemakerz for my son!

 
Shelley K | 2008-12-10 11:57:39

Wow..I am looking forward to the For Pets guide…I am always looking for new things to get the kitty.

Thanks SO much for another great giveaway.

 
Deirdre | 2008-12-10 12:32:10

I would use the gift cards to buy some toys to donate to kids who are in need of assistance

 
Juicebox.mom | 2008-12-10 13:34:01

Awesome! I’d use either of the gift cards to buy cool clothes for my daughter. Thanks!

 
sara l. | 2008-12-10 14:47:17

kimberly h | 2008-12-11 09:12:29

I would buy my son some gifts since it’s such a hard time right now.This sure would be a blessing.

 
bunny | 2008-12-11 09:44:43

Cool giveaways!! I’d love to win! I’ve linked you in my blogroll!

 
Beth | 2008-12-11 10:55:41

These giftcards would be great to help with our expenses this year as our income has dropped significantly in the last few months.

Thanks,
Beth

 
Monica | 2008-12-11 13:50:23

Who wouldn’t love to win a gift card? I’d actually wait until after the holidays when things are really on sale and try to get my son as many new clothes as possible. He’s only 8 months but he’s already in some 18 month old clothes and we can barely keep up.

 
Michelle | 2008-12-11 18:21:09

what great giveaways! Who couldn’t use gift cards! We’re getting ready for a big move, so the Visa card would help us out with that. We’re moving to an area that has Kohls (we don’t have one here) and I could use the card to buy some winter clothes for my kiddos. Thanks!

 
Courtney Stubbs | 2008-12-11 22:43:24

I would love to get the visa gift card to go on a shopping spree with my mom. She recently lost around 35 pounds, but will not go buy new clothes for herself. She desperately needs some “skinny clothes”~!

 
sena | 2008-12-12 04:10:52

Sweet!!! I have your link on my blogroll :)

 
christina | 2008-12-12 09:15:20

I would use any of these gift cards to help finish up our Christmas shopping. My husband was just laid off from work, due to lack of work, and it would be a great help!
Thank you for the chance to win!

 
MaryAnne | 2008-12-12 10:57:50

two people out of work here :-( so be honest, all the gifts, especially the gift cards would make for perfect gifts. I hate when Christmas seems to come at a bad time, but that’s ok…life, love, family–they’re what’s truly amazing gifts year round, right? right!

Great start to the holiday giveaway!

 
Rebecca Lind | 2008-12-12 17:38:33

I would buy my hubby a birthday present and Christmas gift since they are so dang close together! and I bet I could even get my kids something. PICK ME PLEASE!!

 
Heather C | 2008-12-14 23:07:44

I loved some of those things, and yes, I have people I just can’t buy for (no idea what they want!). I love the blow-up fruitcake and the yoga socks. Very cool!

 
Billie Johnson | 2008-12-20 23:52:35

i would buy a gift card for my son. He’s not gonna bew home for Christmas
