I enjoy Christmas shopping. I think it is because I’m not clamoring last minute, braving the crowded malls, to find the perfect gift. I like to do Christmas shopping all year long, taking advantage of sales and deals on things that I just know he/she will love. We also have scaled back our giving a lot; choosing something really useful or meaningful, with quality over quantity.
I enjoy giving home made gifts as well. Though not talented in any great way, my husband and I have found lots of interesting gifts to make and give family and friends. Things like vanilla sugar, home made fudge, canned pickles and more. It’s amazing how much people appreciate little baskets of indulgent (and often inexpensive) home made treats.
Holiday shopping isn’t always as straightforward as we’d like it to be. Trying to find the perfect gift (that doesn’t break the bank) can be like Christopher Columbus’s conquest for a new land. Wouldn’t it be lovely if someone just stepped in and handed you something that everyone on your list wants? And even more, went so far as to give you something in return?
We’re happy to present the Empire Theatres ‘Give & Get’ program. Each time you purchase $30 in Empire gift cards, you’ll get $30 in Empire coupons for free! How sweet is that? Whether it’s for your kid’s homeroom teacher who loves George Clooney or your 30-year-old sister who can’t get enough of romantic comedies, this is the perfect gift. For them, and for you.
Bonus alert! Have any friends or family who’ve recently had a baby? Shouldn’t new Mom’s and Dad’s get to see the latest blockbuster hits too? Empire Theatres thinks so. That’s why they’ve created the Reel Babies program. See the latest movies. No babysitter required! Twice a month, Moms and Dads get the chance to see ‘grown-up’ movies in a baby-friendly environment. You can find all of the details on the website.
My husband is a very special person {a.k.a. hard to buy for} especially when it comes to stocking stuffer ideas. We don’t do much in the way of presents for each other but we do pack nice stockings for each other to open Christmas morning. Almost every year I have put a Movie gift card in his stocking; it’s something that almost everyone would use and appreciate – even the hard to buy for! I love that Empire Theatres ‘Give & Get’ means that I can gift a whole extra special set of coupons along with his usual card. {Shh. Don’t tell him though}!
- Disclosure – I am participating in the Empire ‘Give & Get’ program by Mom Central on behalf of Empire Theatres. I received an Empire gift card and coupon bundle as a thank you for my participation. The opinions on this blog are my own.
- Expires: Friday, December 24th, full details here.
