Day 6: $100 JC Penney Gift Card!

As much as I love shopping online, nothing can quite replace the fun of heading into a department store, ready to do battle with your holiday shopping list.  JCPenney generously provided me with a gift card to shop for a holiday party outfit or a few holiday treats for loved ones.

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is shopping for children in need.  The mall near my home has a large Christmas tree with tags on it.  Each tag is for a different child, and includes their age, gender, and their holiday needs & wants.  I usually do a girl and a boy, but this year the boys all listed things like iPods and laptops, which were way beyond my price range.  Instead, I picked two girls – eleven and twelve years old.  Both wanted the usual stuff – clothing, jewelry, makeup.  I was so thankful to have their sizes on the card, since I have no idea what the average 11 & 12 year old fits into.

JCPenney had such a great selection in both the children & teen departments (one girl was wearing clothes from each), and I was so relieved to find a general lack of “mini-prostitute” apparel, which seems rampant in most stores.  For $140 (including the gift card JCPenney supplied), I was able to get both girls 5 shirts, a sweatshirt, a pair of jeans, lounge pants, and several sets of jewelry.  Yes, you read that right – about 20 items for under $200!!!

I felt great getting to bring two big bags of gifts back to customer service for those little girls.  I was also genuinely amazed at the great deals.  The staff at JCPenney was incredibly patient and helpful, and even pulled out some extra coupons when they heard what I was doing.  It was great to feel like the store was a big community helping me.  Customer service tends to be particularly lacking around the holidays – and while it’s understandable, I appreciate the extra effort the employees at JCPenney put in!

JCPenney has extended their holiday generosity to you ladies as well.  One lucky gal is going to win a $100 gift card of her own! This contest will run through December 21st, 11:59 PM EST – US residents only please.

    What a generous giveaway! I went to their site and browsed around. If I won, I’d choose this white dress shirt for my fiance to wear to our beach wedding underneath his khaki linen suit, http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=SIZ&ItemID=16bc0c3&Nao=0&Ne=840+4+877+878+5+961+6+29+3+598+11+15+12+506+10+23+585+596+1031+8+18+904+903+969+949+833&hdnOnGo=true&Ntt=mens+white+%22dress+shirt%22+wrinkle+free&SearchString=mens+white+%22dress+shirt%22+wrinkle+free&N=4294959029&SO=0&PSO=0&CmCatId=searchresults

    We’re on a very tight budget saving for our wedding and first home so winning this shirt and being able to also get a belt, some boat shoes for him to wear would be so great! Thank you so much for the opportunity!
