This post is a sponsored post on behalf of Kmart via Izea. The opinions are mine.
I have to admit that I haven’t stepped foot in a Kmart for a while, like probably since before they merged up with Sears. But this assignment was totally worth it. Basically, the plan was this: take a $500 gift card and figure out what was cool to buy at Kmart. They want you to know that they’ve got all kinds of gifts and stuff people want. That was the basic theme. I was game for the idea, and I even came up with a way to do some good in the process. Here’s what we did, and what I found along the way.
My six year old daughter came through the front doors, and the girls clothes was to the right. She looked over and said, “These are beautiful,” and sunk into a rack of winter coats. That particular one in the picture is a Disney princess one, so that had to go in the cart. I thought I had her trained so well, with Bob the Builder toys in her little pink purses when she was 3, but no. She loves princess things. Alas.
Yes, I’m the kind of dad who buys clothes as part of the holiday gifts. My folks did it. Why should I be any different. There were lots of clothes my daughter willingly would wear. We didn’t exactly equip her, but she got a few things she absolutely *had* to have.
My nearly three-year-old son was another matter. He needed some clothes. I found everything he would want there, and with really no effort. And again, there was lots of good variety, and I felt like everything was great and of a quality I expected.
Dad note: I don’t know that I saw clothes I’d wear as a grown up. I mean, if you’re not very stylish, which I am not, there were some items. I liked that they had Joe Boxer underpants, for instance.
Since their merging with Sears, Kmart has upped their name brand game. They had a few that really surprised me, like Dyson vacuum cleaners. Those are pretty high end, right? And they had Craftsman tool supplies, which was nice, because I remember the “old” Kmart where their tools were more like pretend ones made out of chalky metal. But, I didn’t really buy any of that. I went right to electronics, and then into toys.
I had a hunch that I’d have some fun in their electronics section, and I was right. They had quite a display of flat screen high definition TVs, and I knew most of the name brands. I’m not high def enough to tell you if they were really killer, but I give points for the brands, at least. They also had a small, but decent assortment of new movies on DVD. Their CD collection at the store I went to was small, but who buys CDs these days?
It was in games that I was impressed again. They had a really good selection of XBOX360, PS3, and WII games (we have a Wii at home), as well as DS and PSP games. I was surprised, plus I had that sort of “secret” feeling of realizing that I bet most people looking for games around the holidays have Kmart on their radar.
Here’s where I got clever. I had my kids pick out some toys to donate to Toys for Tots, so that this sponsored shopping spree could also be used for good. It was a lot of fun. There were all the name brands you’d expect, like Nerf and Star Wars and things like that.
The toy section was actually the best kept and best stocked at the store where I shopped. Some of the other sections seemed to have been attacked (this was, after all, the day after Black Friday), but toys? Fresh as a daisy.
If you click on the picture of the bill, and zoom in, you’ll see the biggest surprise I got from the entire experience. The shopping spree was for $500, and I went just a hair over at around $567. But, if you look at what I SAVED, I saved over $200 during this experience. Some of it was from holiday sales, but some was just their regular weekly stuff. So I saved over 30%? Is that right? That’s what the biggest surprise was, to me.
Dad-o-Matic readers (you!) have a chance at doing your own version of my $500 shopping spree at Kmart. The official rules are here. But in a nutshell, here’s what you can do. One’s a bit of work, and the other is a lot easier (hint, hint).
(1) Place a comment on this blog post. Include a description and SKU or item numbers of items on your holiday wish list that total $500 or less. Contest participants must send their email address with the comment to the Participating Blog. This should be done in the private field provided by the Participating Blog and should not have to be included publicly in the comment.
(2) Use Twitter to tweet the message found on the blog post:
” RT @chrisbrogan is giving away a $500 Kmart Gift Card on his blog – simply tweet or comment to enter http://urlbrief.com/27bb3f”
*** That was updated. I had the info wrong.***
Now, I’m not telling you what to do, but step 1 takes a lot of typing, and step 2 is retweeting a link to this post.
Again, check out the official rules here because I might have left something out.
Good luck, and I hope you win. The experience opened my eyes, and I also found a way to give a bunch of kids some surprises this holiday season. Seems like a win, eh?

Well gee… okay! Since I’m ineligible to enter half of the contests like this I know about, I’ll play over here!
Hm… okay, for grins, b/c I can’t imagine buy one right now:
Sylvania 20 in. Diagonal LCD DTV
Kmart item# 012W804681850001 Mfr. model# LC200SL9
$299.99
That works – right?
Oh, btw – no “private field” existed… Not that I care if someone sees that I’d take an HDTV – who wouldn’t?
But FYI? “This should be done in the private field provided by the Participating Blog and should not have to be included publicly in the comment.” so you might need to tweak it Chris!
I didn’t realize that Kmart now has ”real” Craftsman Tools…I just remember the cheap plastic handled screwdrivers that they used to sell.
I just did a RT – id is autismfamily. I have not been to the Kmart in Burbank in a few years, would be fun to go there. They closed the closer one to me a few years ago and nothing is there. I go often to Sears, got my exercise bike there and lawn mower and vacuum.
Hmmm, lets see. I’m gonna go with the:
Sony 19 in. (Diagonal) Class LCD Integrated HDTV (720p), BRAVIA®
Kmart item# 018W809619110001 Mfr. model# KDL-19M4000
$499.99
Haven’t been to a KMart since I was a kid but this would convince me to go back. Just ReTweeted (@DeAnnaCochran) because I am taking the simple approach to everything this year (as Fussypants suggested).
p.s. – Just did a search to make sure KMart was in my area, it is!
Well, that’s easy:

2X Cherry iPod Speakerdock
Kmart item# 1750000008000100 Mfr. model# 8000105

Oh, this is great!
– My 4yo daughter wants Barbie and the Diamond Castle Playset ($86.99… cheaper than Amazon, I might add)
– Hubby really wants a GPS system for his 1996 Toyota Four-runner ($319.99, way cheaper than a new car and had no idea you could buy GPS at Kmart)
Sub-total is $406.98… leaves a balance of $93.02 to follow your example and buy some toys and clothes to donate.

My husband has been so great about me being an at home mom after the layoff. He’s not pushing me to get a job or complaining about the added responsibility. For him I’d get the flat screen we were supposed to buy ourselves when we bough our first home a little over a year ago.
He deserves it!

I love Kmart, and sad that they are harder to find these days. They have long pants — which if you are a tall girl are a total necessity. Always great deals for the entire family.
Gotta love K-Mart! Thanks for posting this, Chris.

great contest… thanks.
Great contest! I have to admit I was up early on Friday so I decided to drive by some of the open stores. Walmart looked a little intimidating with 6 police cars and baracades of hundreds of shoppers and Kmart was 50 people a few minutes before opening. I landed a fluffy robe, slippers and pjs for my niece and 4 Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots for my 40yr old and above crowd of men who executives/fathers or not will love being thrown back to their youth for xmas. Including some personal items like gum, tide and shampoo that were on regular sale my bill came to $54. I’ll be a return customer!
First Thing I would buy is the
Sylvania 32 in. (Diagonal) Class LCD Integrated HDTV
Kmart item# 018W677925110001
Next would be:
Quik Shade 10 ft. x 10 ft. Shade Tech 64 Canopy
Kmart item# 9990000022407811
Great stuff for home, and for camping!
This is an easy one…dh would have to have a flat screen for our bedroom. Probably the Sansui 26in w/Built in DVD (item 250000HDLCDVD260) for $599.00.
Either that or they’d get a PS3 with all the gadgets and games to go with it-my guys a tech nut! lol
Thanks for the giveaway!

I used to love KMart, but then they changed our KMart into a Sears Essential, which is ok, but is by no means a KMart…and the nearest one now is 30 miles away…so, not lots of KMart shopping going on with me anymore…but for $500, I’ll drive

Great idea! I think I would spend my first $100 on a Christmas Tree. This is the first time in three years that I haven’t lived on a Christmas Tree farm, so I won’t be getting one for free. I’ve also had to reluctantly admit that I think I’m allergic to them. But if I’m going fake, I’m going all the way with the white tree. http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_009B389492110001P

Mfr. model # K-P81155
I’d spend the rest on Christmas presents for my family and the toys for tots program, I think.
I hope I win, because my local K-Mart could really use $500. It’s a bit on the down-trodden side.

I would use it to buy my brother some needed housewares. He was in a car wreck and has a severe brain injury. He is functional, but cannot hold down a job. He has handmedown towels and bed linens as well as his pots and pans. Would love to be able to afford to give him a great Christmas.
As I recently received a Wii, I am hoping to get:
1. A Wii Play, since I need more games to play and, of course, an extra remote would be nice (Kmart item# 25500WIIRVLQRHAE)
2. Two of the Wii Nunchuck Controllers (Kmart item# 1630000000250021 ) to fully play some of the games.
Thanks for this chance!
I had no idea Kmart merged with Sears. Good to know. My last Kmart trip was awhile ago and rather disappointing so now I know to give them another chance. And what would I wish for? Oh how I heart the Dyson DC14 All Floors Upright. I covet it. Kmart item #006W734090110001 Isn’t it pretty?

I haven’t been to K-Mart in YEARS. I didn’t even realize they had merged with Sears. Shows how much I know. With a $500 gift card, I would give it to a co-worker who had a bit of a rough year since her husband has been without a job for much of the year. I’ll let her do with it as she needs. I’m sure her needs include lots of groceries & household items for her & her family.
K-Mart – Here I come!
Here’s what I’d love to get at K~MART as a surprise to my sweetie:

I am a simple man who doesn’t have a need for large amounts of items. Just one item is all I would like:
a 32 GB iPod Touch, Kmart item# 018W929092640001 Mfr. model# MB533LL/A
Can I live with out it? Sure. I have no need for it in my day to day life. But for those free and down moments during my day as a Kindergarten/1st Grade teacher, putting on some tunes or discreetly surfing the internet or getting lost in the numerous apps, this would be perfect.
You are a gentleman, a scholar, and a saint.

I totally retweeted but I can’t wait to tell my husband about this site. He needs a forum like this. He is such a great Dad but still feels guilty about the time he made my son a peanut butter jelly sandwich for lunch and dropped him off at daycare only to be called 10 minutes later on his cell phone and reminded that the center is a peanut free zone.
Great job on this site, Chris.

I’m not a tweeter-er, twitter-er, or whatever. er. I’m behind the times, I guess.
I had a reaaally hard time just picking one thing from kmart that I would want, but I guess I would go with this one:
Sylvania 32 in. (Diagonal) Class LCD Integrated HDTV
Kmart item# 018W677925110001

Dyson DC14 All Floors Upright

WOW! This is awesome. We could really use this for Christmas. Anyway I tweeted. Hope I get picked.
I could use anything just to let my son have Christmas. We haven’t been able to buy not a single thing this year and we’ve already told our son we wouldn’t be celebrating Christmas this year. I was injured on the job and his father has cancer, so were uunable to do christmas. He was sad, but what kid wouldn’t be. Just my thoughts, and congratulations to every one who gets picked, just remember there are some kids out in there that don’t get a Christmas due to something they had no control over.
Heh! Kmart is 2 minutes from my house! woo hoo!

* I’m not greedy! I don’t need to have all of these, but they sure would look good in my house!
Our KMart has a food dept. My husband it temporarily laid off and we are a family of ten, so our food is now being bought on credit. Boy, would a $500 gift cert. help! So my description is milk, dairy, meat and produce!!!
My kid is looking for a Nintendo DS for Christmas… he put it on his Santa list and everything… we just “mailed it” yesterday. heh.
But, the little man, probably isn’t getting one as they are a bit too expensive for the Wright household in this economy.
So to begin the list
1. Nintendo DS Lite Metallic Silver
Sears item# 05893032000 Mfr. model# USGSVB You Pay: $129.99
Wife has been bitching about needing a GPS. I think she is crazy because I have google Maps and a printer. However, sometimes you need to do things to make the wife happy… thus, this list would include a GPS for her.
2. Tomtom GPS, ONE 130 Portable GPS Navigation Device
Kmart item #018W405439110001 You Pay: $149.99
Now, my daughter is about to turn 3 and really really ridiculously loves Dora the Explorer. So, we would get her a Dora the Explorer bed… She would be so excited about this.
3. Nickelodeon Dora the Explorer Toddler Bed
Kmart item #1270000BB86615DO Mfr. model #BB86615DO
You Pay: $59.99
Good luck to everyone… this economy has punched my family in the teeth like it has most… so whoever wins, I’m sure you are deserving.
Happy Holidays.
Will also retweet this for you.
I’d buy a projector and bring it to local schools to teach students new media techniques.
My wishlist…is the Element 32 in. (Diagonal) Class LCD Integrated HDTV (720p) so I can watch the Gators win the National Championship on it.
Kmart item #012W804958950001
I don’t want or need anything for me but I don’t want my kids to go without Christmas presents this year so here goes … He’s 4 and she’s 3. You’re a dad so you get it.

My RT is here: http://twitter.com/xravenezzx/status/1038799671
I don’t have a lot of money for christmas to buy things that i think people will want, i ended up having to buy “preowned” or knock off items (which may still be okay don’t get me wrong), to give as christmas present when i wish i could give them new things that’d they’d like
What i’d get with a $500 gift card is:
for my brother:
360, Fable 2 (M)- Kmart item# 255XB3MIC9CS0021 – $59.99
Craftsman 14.4 volt Cordless Drill/Driver with LED Light-Kmart item# 9990000037130911-$69.99
For my Mom:
Block Stripe 4 in 1 Bed Set- Kmart item # 048W245286130001- $39.99
For My Dad:
Craftsman 3.6 volt Cordless ScrewDriver-Kmart item# 9990000032216311- $24.99
My best friend:
Shania Starlight .5 oz.-Kmart item# 015W718755110001- $18.00
My brothers fiance:
Essential Home Mercer Complete Bed -Kmart item # 070W403684140001- $44.99
My sister’s husband:
Craftsman 14.4 volt Cordless Drill/Driver with LED Light-Kmart item# 9990000037130911-$69.99
And for myself and my sister (she’d use it too and we really need one):
Weslo Pursuit E 25 Exercise Bike-Kmart item# 9990000059997711- $89.99
Total comes to Est. Pre-tax Total: $507.93 BUT that’s including shipping on the above item for it being so heavy ($90) so i’d actually have a little bit left over to get dog food and cat food and items with!
I tweeted
We need food, but for fun I’d get Kmart item# 012W804958950001 Mfr. model#
Dear Santa -er I mean, Chris,
We’re pairing down a lot this Christmas and have already had a family meeting with our four kids. We don’t want to be excessive and want to reinforce giving rather than receiving and entitlement.
It would be way cool to win this and surprise them (and my husband) with a few goodies and then give the rest to those who are so much more in need. What a teachable moment that would be!
http://twitter.com/CherylSmith999/status/1038885580
I would TOTALLY replace my camera that I dropped one too many times:
Item #108000000DMCTZ5A $349.99
sclinton@nhcs.net
if I were to get the $500. it would be a great christmass

I have 3 kids and I can not get them what they would like, I am berly paying the rent!
Definitely my top choice would be the Panasonic 10.1 Megapixel Digital Camera: Kmart item# 10800000DMCFS20S. Glad you had fun with the kids!
Well that was easy. Our TV just died & my wife lost her job two months ago so I will go with:
Sylvania 32 in. (Diagonal) Class LCD Integrated HDTV
Kmart item# 018W677925110001 Mfr. model# LC320SS9
$429
Just retweeted the comment, but I could list a few things here as well.

Thanks, I look forward to winning, uh…I mean, YOU winning
-Randy
Every year, I hold a fundraiser (http://www.mdp-united.org/fundraisers.html) for families that have a child with Muscular Dystrophy, who are struggling to make ends meet. This year, we’ve had very few people helping out to donate toys for these families.
Whenever these families don’t get donations, Ash & I try to get the items the kids in the family want ourselves. So, that’s what I’d do if I had a Kmart giftcard for $500.
I really admire the fact that you spent money donating toys to Toys for Tots, Chris. What a fun way to get your kids involved in helping others.
So, here’s the list of items I’d buy:
1. Activity Paints – Kmart item #15600000DIX16132
2. Easel Board Paint Brush, 1in Bristles, Natural Wood Handle – Kmart item #15600000LEO73599

5.Just Kidz Deluxe Doll Set with Stroller – Kmart item# 004W554784110001
6. Baby Alive Newborns – Sip n Snooze – Kmart item# 004W078474110001
7. Fisher-Price Dora the Explorer Dress-Up Adventure Dora Doll – Kmart item# 9990000066694911
8. Thomas & Friends – Best of Thomas – Kmart item# 1260000008101303
9. Tinkerbell Animated Lamp – Kmart item #2320000000027169
10. Rescue Pets: Wake Me Up – Fluffy Cat- Kmart item# 103000000757543B
11. Fisher-Price Dora the Explorer Splash Around Dora & Boots – Kmart item# 9990000066902211
12. Popples Pop ‘N Giggle – Happy Pop – Kmart item# 103000000278408C
13. Sesame Street Elmo Live! – Kmart item# 004W957431110001
14. Disney Hannah Montana Hannah Montana Holiday Pop Star= Kmart item #004W053877110001
—
I had some money left, so I added in something for my son for X-Mas.
14. Hot Wheels Speed Racer Battle Stunt Playset – Kmart item# 004W950388110001
This still comes to less than $500 unless my calculator did the math wrong!
No matter who wins, this is an awesome opportunity!

My daughter needs some baby toys and clothes…
Tropic Isle Gym 1030000000399736
Musical Zoo 1030000000715005
I guess that’s a good start…of course I would look for some jewelry and my husband probably some tools…that $500 wouldn’t last long…Please pick me!
I *heart* Kmart for their low prices and association with saving babies. They are supporters of March of Dimes, and that wins me over! They have some beautiful stuff. What a great thing these holidays would be with a gift card from Kmart. Thanks, Kmart for your generosity!
Here is what I would choose:
1. (Three) 3 Martha Stewart Everyday Embossed Leaf 16 piece Dinnerware Set
Kmart item# 011W707680110001 Mfr. model# 70768011 Normally $39.99 on sale for $20.00 = $60.00
2. (Two) 2 Headboards : South Shore Bookcase Headboard, Twin Size – Blueberry Wash
Kmart item# 187000003294-098 Mfr. model# 3294-098 $144.99 x 2 = $289.98
3. Canon 8.0MP Digital Camera, PowerShot A590 IS
Kmart item# 020W678161110001 Mfr. model# A590IS/2566B001 Normally $149.99 on sale for $129.99
Then I’d give the change to the bell ringer who, this time of year, is likely freezing out front.
Happy Holidays!

I need a new TV set hopefully a plasma TV, one of the thin ones so I can replace the huge boxy Panosonic I bought 10 years ago. It is so heavy I can’t even lift it anymore and the picture is going on it. This is on my wish list and I would be very happy to get a new TV.

Fucking ASSHOLE kinda CONTEST.
U people SUCK.
What a wonderful contest! I could go crazy at Kmart for $500. I am a single mom with three little girls. So far, they each have one gift under the tree…. How I could definitely use this card!
Last year a family at their school gave each of my girls a backpack for Christmas and it was such a blessing. I would love to spend some of the money to buy gifts for a charity that could use them. My kids don’t need $500 worth of stuff anyways!
Hope we win!!! yay!

What a great contest! Well, since I am expecting my first baby and we just moved 1500 miles away from all out family and friends I would buy all the stuff I need for the little one (since we aren’t having a baby shower).

I really liked your story about how you spent your $500 — especially the part about your kids picking out toys for Toys for Tots. Also, I will say that our Kmart usually has the best toy section in our area — we even have a mall here. Thanks for such great contest! : )

I had to chose Option #2 due to time constraints. Very interesting blog. Like I learned Kmart was part of Sears, I did not know that. I will have to look at the Kmart ads more closely from now on.
My daughter won a $50 gift certificate when she was in 1st or 2nd grade and had an absolute blast spending it. She ended up with quite the haul of items (she’s 24 now so that was a few years ago, but we had incredible fun!)… I want the Sony DVD Camcorder Handycam. I want to be able to make video clips for my blog, showing steps when I am designing jewelry. Here is the information: Item Number: 018W684805110001 Mfr. model # DCR-DVD610

With hubby just home from the hospital & on disability for the next few months our budget is tiny so I’d definitely be shopping for our boys for the holidays. A $500 gift card is just enough to get them each a DS -OR- a bike! They’ve been wanting bikes since we moved this summer.

Ok I have to admit I have been a huge snob. I haven’t stepped foot in a K-Mart in years. It was just well, to be honest, to icky. You see the K-mart of my youth had a really bad smell, wasn’t very clean and didn’t have the best items. Then I moved to Montana and the little town where I live is limited in shopping choices. I needed some things for our humble abode and guess where I found the best bargains? The nicest items? It wasn’t at the other two discount stores it was at the K-Mart.
I had such a wonderful positive experience that it is now my Favorite shopping place for housewares, linens (got to love that Martha), cooking utensils, dishes and even items like laundry detergent and personal items. I love the Joe Boxer PJ’s too. Thank You K-Mart for upgrading your merchandise without upping your prices.
Something for everyone in the family. We need a new TV the color on ours is going bad. Hubby and I always like neat clocks. Baby alive is the must have item on my daughters Christmas list.

K-Mart has been a staple in my life for ever. They do great things for our community as well. They let the Salvation Army ring bells, let the Boy Scouts sell their popcorn, sponsor Little League and Softball Tournments and many many more chartible gestures.
We have a mission in our community called The Lighthouse Outreach Center. One of the things I’m involved in is the feeding of the poor and elderly. They also sponsor a Children’s Christmas Program giving all kinds of toys and gifts to needy kids. Pastor Mel said becuse of the economy there are more kids and less donations. This would be a great opportunity to bless them.
That’s my wish list!

That sounds so cool! I wish I could do that. I would bring my Princess Aryannah. She would have such a great time shopping there. She really wants a ds.
I’m just a 15-minute walk from Kmart. I could get a lot done for family, friends and myself in one visit. I hope my tote bags are strong enough. I know not to walk off with any carts. Alas, I wish they offered free transportation like Food 4 Less.

IN RESPONSE TO JOSH FIALKOFF:
Ripples are not waves. Maybe that’s why it is easier to surf Chris’ hands on approach to social media with an opinion rather than simply participate. Here are a couple of observations as to why Chris Brogan and Kmart are right:
1. Creating awareness about Kmart’s selection is not only necessary but important. Personally, last time I bought anything in Kmart it was prior to SEARS merge. The blog post made me realize that things have change and that I should take a look. Moreover, I will stop by Kmart later today.
2. Chris Brogan’s credibility has been established over time and his followers understand the dynamic between sponsor-regenerated tactics to mobilize folks to take action and his impeccable squeaky clean independent points of view. No merge there.
3. As a consumer, picking my curiosity with savings is a good thing. I’ll get there and DECIDE on my own – thank you very much- what I need or want.
4. Kmart was very smart at reaching out to Chris Brogan. Far away from scholastic definitions of marketing and social media, Chris Brogan has a heart. His followers know it. What is the value of that? I think you -and Kmart- will find out.
All the best Chris and Kmart. Well done!
Ana.

There are some great things on everyone’s list. I pray that all your wishes come true. Here’s my list to Santa, I took my daughter and two of her friends with me to the Doraville, Ga Kmart on 12/13/08. There were a lot of products in the toy section that had the price covered by a strip of blue tape and was challenging trying to find a price for them.
Of course I did manage to find some things to put on my list to Santa.

It would definitely take a shopping spree for me to shop there though. We have one in town and I purposely drive 25 minutes away to get to Target! It’s a much more enjoyable (and cheaper) shopping experience there. I wish the Kmart in my area would realize that a dark store with no employees is not the way to grow a business.
OurTelevision went out a few months ago and haven’t had the funds to replace it so this is what I would probably get.
Thank You

What a great giveaway!!!!
I’ve been going to Super Kmart for all my shopping, they are so much cleaner and also cheaper than some others I won’t mention. I went there yesterday to finish up my Christmas and bought a new Little Tykes Kitchen with attached grill on the other side with all food and utenciles for $37.00, it was $157.00. Talk about a bargain. Also a lady bought a barbie battery operated car for $60, it was $300. Guess I just went on a lucky day.
The layaway has been a lifesaver.
Happy Holidays
well, i think this was obviously a great experience for you and your family. I am entering for my daughter so that she can give her two children a great christmas. I honestly was sitting here trying to figure out how to help her make this christmas a good one for her and jaden and bria. and here it is.
My daughter is 26, works part time, takes care of two kids and goes to college full time. this is coming up on her last semester, taking full time hours, then will sit for her mcat’s and then hopefully on to medical school. she has given up a lot and this would be a wonderful surprise for her. so heres hoping i can win this for her.
merry christmas to you and your family, peace and health for the new year
kathy
WE decided not to buy gifts this year because everyone is living from paycheck to paycheck. I would go to our K Mart and buy food for them. You can get everything there. And i could get each family a Christmas feast. For that one day, they could forget the economy and enjoy each other. We still have a lot to be thankful for you guys. I won’t win because i don’t know what twitter is, but good luck to everyone and PEACE OUT.
If I could, I would get…

We only have one K-mart left in our city so I don’t get there much(kind of a drive). Anyway, I was there last month and was suprised at all the cool stuff they had. I would love to do my shopping there for my kids but things are tight here as I’m sure they are for alot of people this year. Merry Christmas and Happy hollidays to all.

I liked Chris’ description of his experience and the fact that he used it to help others as well. I hadn’t been to K-mart in quite some time, but went this year because they offered layaway. Although I couldn’t find everything on my list…I was surprised at the availability of many of the items. I’ve shopped for everyone else…I wouldn’t mind upgrading my tv to K-Mart’s

I was surprized to read so many people don’t shop or haven’t shopped Kmart in years. It is one of my favorite places to find good deals. I have been buying winter coats there as a custom for years. The selection of clothing is priced better than Target where my sister worked, and she agrees. Give Kmart a second look, they may be surprized. I got an excellant deal on comforter last month, checker was wowed when she saw the price.

My husband has been out of work for almost a year and well…things are tight.
We have two beautiful little girls ages 8 & 5 who will never go without a Christmas.
I will shop at the Dollar Store and my babies will be tickled with their girlie stuff.
If I had a chance I would buy them cloths, cloths and more cloths. And a few toys
too boot.
But my biggest concern is my Niece 16 and Nephew 18, My sister is dying of Metastatic bone cancer and we all are devastated by this. My Niece has asked for a comforter set,she has
never had one. and My nephew who we are so very proud of is the first in our family to graduate
from high school and is now attending college. would love anything electronic they are my concern. My girls have us as a family and in my eyes that’s Christmas enough.
May your Christmas be filled with joy and happiness.

This is a great idea.
Since I have been out of work for almost 2 months, I would use the gift card to buy Christmas for my family and get the items they would really want.
GE Digital Camera A835
020W673502110001 $79.99
Camp Chef Dutch Oven
1010000001187919 $39.99

010073444910001 $29.99

10500000ZEN4GBBK $99.99
Plus clothes and stocking stuffers.
Also I would allow my son to get a gift for his girlfriend since he isn’t working either and let my daughter buy for her friends at school
It would make for a nice Christmas.
Thanks

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Kmart over the past few weeks. Toys selections are great and almost always in stock and prices are awesome. Gotta love some of those “at checkout” coupons too. If I won, I’d love to purchase Kmart item# 9990000025777711, a bunk bed, for my nephews. ($199) The boys, their Mom and sister have ben homeless since March and are moving into a new apartment tomorrow, with no beds! I’d probably want a gift card too so they could choose some kiddy bedding and something for sis and Mommy for the holidays! I’m handling Santa, but this would be a CRAZY, AWESOME bonus gift!! Thanks. Merry Christmas ALL!

I’m commenting even though I’m not entering to win the contest; I just had to defend one of my favorite stores–Kmart! I think Kmart gets a totally bad rap and I, for one, try to do my part to dispell the notion that everything they sell is crappy or low-quality. I know that you, Chris, aren’t saying this at all–quite the contrary–but I will say that, at least for women’s clothes I think they have great stuff. I am not frumpy or a wearer of mom jeans, holiday-themed sweatshirts, or old-lady looking stuff in general (no offense to anyone reading this if you are, btw–just trying to prove a point). I am very stylish–if I do say so myself–and my two favorite shirts EVER are from K-mart. I think cost $11 each, and that was easily 5 years ago. Good quality, great fitted shape–I have since tried to find this same shirt, or variations of it, at stores like Nordstrom, Express, you name it–I have not found any as nice or well-fitting as these anywhere. Ditto some jeans I got at Kmart even more than 5 years ago–the fit and quality easily rivals my $150 Seven jeans. The list of things I’ve gotten at Kmart goes on–100% cotton sheets, towels, white bowls nicer than my Pottery Barn ones, shoes, lingerie (my favorite underwear is from Kmart–the thongs fit as well as, if not better than, the “must-have” Hanky Panky $30 thongs)…I’ll spare you the rest of the list but suffice it to say that I’ve got plenty of Kmart stuff in my house.
My one gripe with Kmart is that the sizes only go down to size 4, and their sizes tend to run big. Kmart–if you’re reading this–you need to add size 2!
My thing is this: nobody takes issue with shopping at Target, but the bottom line is that the only difference between Kmart and Target is that you can make Target sound swanky by calling it “Tar-jay,” therefore eliminating the stigma at shopping at what is, essentially, Kmart’s twin in many respects. Except that Kmart is cheaper and has way better sales.
Ok–off my soapbox now…suffice it to say I love me some Kmart!
