Win it Wednesday: $50 Walmart Gift Card

Welcome to the second installment of “Win it Wednesday!” Before I introduce this week’s prize I’d like to congratulate the winner of last week’s prize, the Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker. It went to Amy Stahl of the Stahl Family Blog. Congratulations!

This week’s prize is a $50 Walmart gift card! I’m going to take a cue from my ElevenMoms gal pals over at Keeping the Kingdom First and From Dates to Diapers and will ask you to take a look at Walmart’s 2008 Holiday Entertaining Guide and leave a comment with how you’d spend the $50 gift card if you won by Monday, November 24 at 8 p.m. ET (this giveaway ends one day earlier than normal).

Want two more chances to win a $50 Walmart gift card? Just click on the two ElevenMoms blogs above to go directly to their $50 Walmart gift card giveaways, both of which end on November 24 as well. Good luck!

I would buy some fixings for the ice cream ornaments that are featured in the guide and make them with my 18 mos old and 3 year old. i would also buy some food and warm clothes for the local homeless man that i see when i go grocery shopping. he is legitmately homeless, and i never see him asking anyone for money, food, etc. it is already cold here, and i am sure he could use an extra shirt or gloves.

ronni said...

I Love the red wreath. I would also help my son's best friend who was kicked out of his own home (he's 15) and living with us for a while with some new clothes.

Amber Styles said...

I would spend the money on gifts for Christmas for my children and loved ones, my husband lost his job a little over three weeks ago, so money is sparse! Thank you for this giveaway :)

I would use the giftcard to buy our annual Christmas cards and more ornaments for the tree...can you ever have enough?

mom_of2boys said...

As much as I'd love to buy some new ornaments and decorations for inside my house, I'd use the $50 to buy my nieces some new clothes and hair accessories.

aud1inok said...

I would purchase our Christmas photo cards.

MommaHughes said...

I loved the ice cream ornament idea. I would take my mother shopping with the card, because my dad just recently had surgery on his heart so it has kind of been all about him lately and I would love to surprise my mother who has been taking such good care of him in his recovery.

Karlie said...

I would buy gifts for the gift giving tree and yarn for scarves/gloves/hats for donation. I would use the rest for xams dinner stuff.

I live in a condo in the suburbs, by which I mean I live in a glorified apartment surrounded by people with real houses who pour tons of effort into holiday decorations that turn me green with envy. I love my little hut and I'm not asking for much, I would just very much enjoy a real christmas tree (by which I mean fake but "real"-sized). The year that I moved in, my mother-in-law, with the best of intentions, bought me an 18" fake "tree" and every year excitedly expects me to put it up. She obviously put a lot of thought into buying it and I don't have the heart to tell her that I want to replace this poor little malnourished "tree" with a tree that hubby and I can display in our window with quiet pride right next to the big houses with the acres of lights and yard displays. A gift card would give me the perfect cover - "I won a big tree!" I am dying to establish a real collection of decorations and make my little hut a home. Also, I could then donate the little tree along with some new decorations to my fave charity - Big Brothers Big Sisters - which helps lots of families celebrate Christmas every year.

Carla said...

My daughter is a college student and this year is the first year she will have a place to decorate other than a small dorm room, so I would take her shopping and let her pick out decorations for her tree and her apartment.

Austin chef elaine said...

I would use the gift card to buy groceries to fill the bag I got at church for holiday food for the homeless. It would include all the fixing and a $20 gift card to Walmart for the turkey. I do this every year, but this year cannot afford to do so because my hours have been cut at work. But at least I have a job! Yea!!

Ryan and Amy said...

I would use the gift card to buy Christmas decorations. We have a few, but many are getting old and we only have a few strands of Christmas lights that still work. I think we need lots of lights. I would also purchase photo Christmas cards to mail out this year.

Thanks,
Amy

I would spend it on Nintendo DS games for my daughter! Santa (hopefully) is bringing the DS so we need to get the games to go with it!

dolores said...

Since I need to recover my dinning room chairs I would buy a new tablecloth, napkins, and chargers. As for the rest of the money I would pickup a gift for the Toys for Tots program so I could teach my kids giving is always better then receiving.

Shonda said...

I would use it to help some of the people at our local nursing home that don't have any families close by. Some of them lack simple things like socks and underwear, and $50 would help out with a lot of that kind of thing.

Mama Moose said...

The ice cream ornament was adorable! I would probably use the $50 to buy my husband and daughter Christmas presents since we are running really low on funds this year!

I would use the $50 for food for the holidays! I like some of the suggestions in that guide! Thanks for the giveaway.

Julie said...

I volunteer at the Minneapolis Crisis Nursery, and while the food served to the kids is warm and nourishing, it's often a little bland. When I saw those burger platters, I imagined how the kids' eyes would light up at such a fun holiday lunch. And, of course, some Oreos to go with the burgers!

Let's see, What would I do with a $50 Wal-Mart gift card? I've been buying lots of baby stuff in preparation of upcoming baby showers. Two different ladies in our church are having twins! I’ve been buying something each trip to spread out the cost. Diapers, wipes, lotions, shampoo, etc. Thanks to sites like yours, I’ve gotten lots of it free or almost free! I’ve also been sending my MIL gift cards since she has a very limited income. Then there’s always stuff for our own two daughters. The possibilities are endless!

We are hosting the holidays this year and we will have 20 people over, some who do not have families. I would make sure everything is just right. Plus we have 2 little ones at home (7 and 16 months) we are doing a tradition where they pick out new toys to donate to charity.

Samantha said...

I would definitely be getting some party platters! There is always so much stress around the holidays of trying to prepare different dishes for each holiday party or get togethers. The platters look so yummy and would take a lot of stress out of my life ;)

I'm having a class party for a special Bible Study during Christmas. The ladies are homebound - they meet by conference call every Sunday. This is the 1x we're trying to get them all together physically.

honestly, i'd spend it on food. These days $ is tight (I know for all) but if I got $50 to help towards the food bill that's probably what I do (hey, there was a picture of food there!) :)

Jennifer said...

I would pick up a couple of those catering trays - that food looks perfect for the women's meeting at church in Dec!

my kids mom said...

Since my husband has been out of work for almost a year now this gift card would come in handy. I would use it to buy some gifts for the family members who have helped us during this past year.

HeatherLow said...

Money is tight (I realize that's a common theme) so I would use it to buy a few extras for Christmas to make it a little sweeter and not have to pay for it which makes it alot sweeter for me:)
Thanks so much.

Kelly Strei said...

Since I'm done Christmas shopping for my family, I would use the gift card to purchase items for our local food shelf. This time of the year and in this economy, it's the best place it can be used.

The Baugh Family said...

I would buy the fixings for the ice cream ornaments. It would be really fun to get the family together on Christmas and make them to eat after dinner. Thanks!

Amanda said...

i would definitely use the money toward the fixins' for a Christmas party open house for friends. we've kicked around the idea of a party but the cost of food, etc. has held us back a bit...but this would push us to the lets do it! side!

Julie said...

I would use the $50 to buy storage containers and baking items.

Arrie said...

I would use it to buy holiday photo cards! I love everything though!

Centsible Savings said...

I can't get away from my practical side -- I'd probably use the gift card to put gas in the tank! You get 3 cents off per gallon at Wal-Mart when you pay with a gift card.

~Dawn C said...

I would spend my $50 gift card buying fruit and dessert trays for my co-workers, Saturdays are our worst day and they need a little free food and sugar to get them through.
Thank you for this chance to win

Andersoncircus said...

We would use it toward Christmas gifts: our son needs new pjs and a winter coat, so that would come first.

All the ornaments are cute though!

Ashley said...

I would buy things to decorate the dining room table with. It never gets enough attention during the holidays.

Kim said...

I would just use it on boring old groceries. I thought of Christmas gifts, but I think I've almost got Cristmas shopping done.

JJJ'nC said...

We have almost no decorations for Christmas, so I would use it to buy picks and wreaths and table things to decorate the whole house for the first time.

Jennifer said...

I would lots of large C7 outdoor lights to light up the neighborhood and share my Christmas spirit with everyone!

I would buy some ingredients to make things with my seven year old daughter. I've been clipping and saving since then. I think there are many in our boat. I think it's nice when you might not have much for presents to at least carry on the tradition of teaching your child the recipes that your family has handed down to you. It's a wonderful way to forget that money is tight!

I'm not sure why I don't just buy a Christmas tree, lol ... Oh, and I couldn't resist putting a couple of those Sara Lee ice cream bites in the cart too :)

Cherie' said...

I would give it to my sister in law who are raising kids ages 1yr-6yr all on her own without child support.She never knows if she will be able to afford her bills or groceries and anything we can afford to help, even though we do not have a lot ourselves. So this would be much appreciated.

We would buy gifts for the child we adopted from the angel tree ministry. I would allow my kids to choose the gifts from Wal-Mart, buy them and pay for them with the card. Then they would wrap them and the cool thing is they get to deliver them to the child's home. This is new to our family and we would use this card to supplement what we would give to the needy family.

I would buy some of the items for the beautiful place settings! We have started the tradition of having a sit down dinner on Christmas eve with my parents and grandmother before we head to church. I have two young boys (3 and 6) and it's imprtant to me that we have traditions and memories that will last a them a life time. What's better than spending time with your loved ones! We have so many things to be thankful for!

Tricia said...

I would be updating my Christmas supplies for sure! And probably gearing up for all of our holiday parties.

I would use the card to buy some holiday fixing to donate to the local food drives. Then I would use the rest to buy my children a little something.

Lisa Elder said...

I am going to be honest and I'm sure that most of you will agree with me,times are tough this year.I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2006 and I just can't help but to wonder if each holiday that I spend with my children will be the last so I try to do things with and for them from my heart.This Christmas is going to be even harder because my Mother was admitted to a nursing home last Wednesday.I moved back home when I got sick so with her being gone,there's an empty place that can't be filled.We don't have any extra money for Christmas this year since my medication co-pays are outrageous and my husband,who works for La Z Boy,has been cut back to 24-32 hours a week.We are thankful for those hours because over 200 people were laid off last week.I know that this wasn't an option but I would use the gift card to buy a turkey or ham so that I could bring my Mom home for Christmas dinner with me and the kids.I would also buy my Mom a robe because she doesn't have one.Also,since it would be awarded before Thanksgiving,I would cook dinner and bring Mom home.My kids are wonderful,they understand that I am sick and both of them said they don't want gifts this year,that all of us being together to eat dinner would be nice.I am so blessed,not with money,but with what really matters,love.

annemarie said...

I would buy gifts for the grandchildren - after all Christmas is really for the kids.

southerngirl said...

I like the prelit Christmas tree - I've been looking for a chance to upgrade to a more "normal" sized tree; at the moment, all I have is this tiny like 3-ft tall one, which is fine and festive enough, but it would be so nice to have a bigger one!

I'd probably also sneak in some Christmas cards too - those seem to go up every year!

Lin said...

I would buy one of the deli trays to take to my parents in law for Thanksgiving. Would be the first time I would be going to their place for Thanksgiving. Then I would get some of the pictures made into Christmas cards to mail out to all the relatives for Christmas.

This is an easy one! Our Christmas tree broke last year, so I would have to put the $50 toward a new one. One question. . . Pre-lit or not?

I would use the $50 gift card for groceries (I am hosting the family Thanksgiving this year) and it would be real hard to pass up the wreath. Nothing says welcome to our home, like a big wreath hanging as the famiy comes in the door. Happy Holidays everyone.

Michelle said...

The walmart gift guide is beautifully designed and packed with stuff. I love it.
If I get the $50, I'd be using for some Christmas presents for my son.

We are in the process of moving into a new home. I would use the gift card to buy some Christmas decorations for our new home.

Jingle said...

I love the ice cream ornament idea in the Entertainment Guide! Those are awesome and I want to make some! Then I would buy up some great Martha Stewart craft supplies to decorate! Did you know they have GIANT bottles of MS glitter!!!!

Terry said...

I need to get some new outdoor decorations because the lights we used for several yers stopped working last year - so I would buy pine garland and LED lights to brighten up our front door and porch.

Choozen Youth Ministry said...

Hi, wow, $50.00. We can really use that for our holiday shopping. My church is having a Thanksgiving feeding next week for outreach. We already got some turkeys, so we will buy a few more. A lot of our friends are coming in off the road from doing donations to raise funds, so we would like to make them a dinner. I got most of our staples, but we don’t have a turkey to cook for them. So I will buy us one as well! Thank you for a chance @ this blessing! Annie Avery

Jill said...

I'd probably get some new Christmas dishes, thanks!

Well, I LOVE the ice cream ornaments- too cute! I would probably use the GC to buy a Wii game for my hubby.

Tara said...

I would use it to purchase the food for my Christmas Eve dinner. Thanks for the giveaway!

Heather said...

I would get the wreath for my front door and use the rest to bargain shop for food items for the holidays!

Anna Burnett said...

This is my husband's and my first Christmas together. With the gift card, we would definitely buy a tree!

Stephanie said...

I would definitely buy some of the cute decorations for our new house! I love the red wreath!

The Merediths said...

We celebrate thanksgiving on my dad's side of the family the day after Thanksgiving and call it "Thanksmas" (because we all live far apart and we only get together at Thanksgiving and not Christmas to spend more time with our immediate families). This year, Thanksmas falls on my grandmother's 76th birthday and I would spend the $50 to make her a dark chocolate birthday cake (her favorite!) and some party hats and Christmas decorations that she would enjoy!

Angel said...

I'd get a nativity.

Holly said...

I'd buy some food for my Christmas Eve party, pick up a toy or two for my daughter and probably spend anything left getting prints of the Christmas pics.

Rachael said...

I would spend the $50 on Christmas for our family. :)

Danetta said...
