This giveaway is now closed.

Kmart and Izea have hooked me up this year for Christmas. This week I received $500 to go shopping at Kmart. And I also got $500 to give to one of you - woot!

Kmart Martha Stewart Decorations

Kmart's Martha Stewart Decorations

My dirty little secret (literally) is that I am a terrible housekeeper. My home is almost always messy with a sink full of dishes. But I have one domestic gene that seems to emerge only in December. I clean my house, I decorate it to the hilt, I bake cookies (LOTS of cookies), and I buy my one issue of Martha Stewart Living every year. I have every holiday issue she has put out since the publication started - as I can obviously  only handle the thought of being that organized and domestic once a year. So this may sound like a bad TV commercial, but I seriously went straight to the Martha Stewart Christmas section the minute I got in the store.

stockings

I kind of put everything in sight into my cart then had to talk myself down and put a bunch of it back. My tendency to get dorky about Christmas verges on embarrassing. (But not this dorky). I decided I didn’t want to drop all $500 on Martha Stewart decorations and got myself out of that section as fast as I could. I did end up with some pine cone garland and new Christmas stockings - I pat myself on my back for my discipline. ;)

Kmart Wool Coat

Kmart Wool Coat

I shopped on Wednesday, which also happened to be my 40th birthday. I should have gotten Christmas presents… but I have to admit I splurged a bit on me (I deserve it! I turned 40!). So check me out in my new wool winter coat. Soooooo cute. And 40% off! Soooooo cool.

So to appease my guilt (ok, I didn’t feel that guilty), I shopped for the family. I don’t know about you, but my kids somehow seem to always have a growth spurt in the fall. So that when I buy them new clothes for school, by December they are already outgrowing some of them. I swear it happens every year, even though I try to buy big. It irritates the heck out of me, so I bought them each three outfits. Now they will at least not be walking around in floods come January.

Craftsman Reciprocating Saw

Craftsman Reciprocating Saw

Then I walked around and was happily surprised to see that Kmart now sells Sears’ Craftsman tools. My brother owns a auto repair shop and he always asks for Craftsman tools for Christmas. So I got my hubby a Reciprocating Saw because a jerk we let stay with us once took his and sold it for money (I kid you not). But now hubby is happy.

Since I work at home, I thought it would be a good idea to get some new PJs, because that’s pretty much all I wear these days. But I decided after looking around that there was nothing there that I would be comfortable showing you that I bought. Everything was either frumpy and made me look way over 40… or, well, erm… the exact opposite of frumpy.

I know, I know, I’m rubbing my shopping spree in. So let me get to it - you want to know how you can get $500 for your own shopping spree, right? Here’s what you have to do:

There are two ways to enter to win a $500 Kmart Gift Card

ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED - GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

1 - Go to Kmart.com and do a ‘virtual’ shopping spree. Tell us what you would buy (with the Kmart Item numbers) that adds up to $500 or less. Make your wish list and leave it on a comment on this post.

2 - If you are on Twitter, simply copy and paste this tweet: “RT @eMom is giving away a $500 Kmart Gift Card on her blog - simply comment or tweet to enter : http://urlbrief.com/7dfb6c”

Each tweet or comment counts as one registration. One entry by blog post comment and one entry by tweet per contest participant.

Winner will be selected via a random number generator on December 17, 2008; deadline for entry is midnight December 16, 2008. Official Holiday Hoopla contest rules from IZEA.

Kmart is the sponsor of this post and of my shopping spree. IZEA is the sponsor of the Kmart $500 Gift Card giveaway. And I thank them both, because this was way fun. :)

Virtual Shopping is much harder than I thought! Maybe I’ve just never had the opportunity to spend $500.00 in one place before on many products. Either way, here is my shopping list. I’ve also re-tweeted; I am @bloggingmothers on Twitter.

Secure Surround Gate by Summer
Kmart item# 9990000046077811 Mfr. model# 46077811
$64.99

Our seven month old baby boy is crawling, climbing and standing while holding on to something. He is a problem solver already and has figured out how to get past our gate that leads into the kitchen. This item would definitely come in handy.

Black Kenmore 2.7 cu. ft. Compact Refrigerator
Sears item# 04692779000 Mfr. model# 92779
$99.99

My husband has wanted a personal fridge for his office for awhile now. This is almost his ideal Christmas gift and would be great for his occasional energy drink and lunches that need refrigerated. Not sure if it would fit under his desk or not but there is only one way to find out.

Kodak Easyshare P720 Digital Frame
Sears item #00379769000
$79.99

I’ve recently taken over a classroom for the rest of the school year. The classroom isn’t mine full time yet though so having a digital frame with my photos in it would be much more convenient should I need to pack up and move to another classroom or what not.

NOTE: Who would have thought that spending $500.00 or virtual money could be this difficult; I’m not HUNTING for stuff to buy!

Martha Stewart Everyday Botanic Medallions 16-Piece Porcelain Dinnerware Set
Kmart item# 011W774366110001 Mfr. model# 77436611
$59.99

My husband and I have had our plateware set for a little over two years now. While I know it was a wedding gift, it is honestly time to retire some of these plates and bowls that are made out of plastic and have gotten a fair share of use. A newer and higher priced set might survive our family a little longer.

PlayFoam Classroom Set
Kmart item# 1030000000490950 Mfr. model# 490950
$79.99

I’m a teacher, what would you expect?

Total: $384.85

89. On December 2nd, 2008 at 12:26 pm, NWGuy said:

Too many items to mention, but cordless drill and a few other tools will top the list.

Maybe a few items for camping also.
