Between the hubs and I, we have a pretty large family and a host of close friends. Ironically, almost ALL of those that we would buy birthday gifts for have birthdays in August. I’m also so busy in August that I don’t have time to scour every store for the best clearances. Sure, I keep a gift closet, but it doesn’t always have exactly what I need, and as the kids get bigger, it’s harder to hide things from them.
Enter Amazon.com. I can order what I want, when I want, and it arrives in 2 days because I’m a member of Amazon Prime (the best money you will EVER spend). I can leave the gifts in the shipping boxes and throw them in the closet. The kids know that I buy tons of random things from Amazon, so they have no idea what’s in these boxes and won’t touch them (unlike the box I got from Heely’s that was wrapped in packing tape with their logo).
Amazon is typically cheaper than other stores, I can do my shopping 24/7, and in Missouri, purchases are tax free- which saves me an additional 12%.
The best part about Amazon is that they offer giftcards on Swagbucks. Swagbucks is a search engine that pays you to use it. You randomly earn points (called Swagbucks) that are redeemable for gift cards and prizes in their store. Once you reach 450 Swagbucks, you can redeem them for a $5 Amazon gift card. These gift cards have no expiration date and can be ‘stacked’ together to make one large purchase. I earn between $50 and $125 a month in Amazon gift cards- simply by using their search engine.
