My Kmart Shopping Spree

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Kmart via Izea. All the opinions expressed here are mine.

UPDATE: Congratulations to the winner announced December 19th ---- Jenn!!

Kmart sent me on a shopping spree for the holidays! Yup, you read that right. Kmart provided me with a $500 gift card to go shopping crazy at the Kmart store here in NYC. I have to admit, I had a blast! I've not been inside a Kmart in a quite some time- not since my mom used to take my siblings and I there for back-t0-school shopping. The store experience is just how I remember it, not exactly visually beautiful but packed with deals that sure are pleasing to the pocket.

Their offer could not have come at a better time for me, as I am moving in January  to a new apartment and need lots of home stuff that Kmart is known for providing, at an affordable price. So, when I walked in the store I went straight for the Home Goods section where I grabbed Martha Stuart towels, a Cannon sheet set, a few kitchen accessories and a Dirt Devil Broom Vac. I wanted to grab more, but I had to be conscious of the fact that I had to lug it all home on the subway, so I plan on going back a few times and picking up all the other stuff I was drooling over.

They have great name brand items that I don't remember them offering before, which really took me by surprise. I'm excited to go back and pick up the Black & Decker Digital Advantage iron, Hamilton Beach BlendMaster and a Kenmore sewing machine, which I am really excited about so I can finally start tailoring my own clothes!  I thank Kmart for this experience. Get your chance below. :)

Now, on to the good stuff for YOU!!!!!!

Julia, wouldn't you want the retweet copy to read "...Kmart Gift Card on HER blog..."

I was actually in Kmart yesterday for the first time in MONTHS. I really liked some of their home furnishing stuff, and of course I liked their Christmas decorations. I actually lugged home $55 worth of Martha Stewart Christmas decorations -- tree skirt, garland and ornaments, oh my!

Anyway, I'd absolutely LOVE to have that $500 Kmart card. I'd spend it on several things, including an iPod for my husband, curtain rods for my living room, and new towels for my bathroom!

Apple 8GB iPod: #018W929084370001
Essential Home decorative rod: #070W824729110001
Towels: # 9990000022354911

I haven't been in Kmart for a while, but have been hearing a lot recently.

While there's a lot I know I'd like, I'm working to promote the 'Be an Elf' project, where you buy toys for needy children who write to Santa, and who might not receive anything otherwise. So, I'd use the entire gift hard to help them out. Here's what I'd get:

For the Younger ones I'd buy stuffed toys such as:
(2) Applause SeaPals Blue Lobster: #1030000000715792 - 12.99

For the older children, I'd focus more on creative development. I feel that fostering creative development at a young age is essential. So, I'd buy them:

(2x) Flip Video: #105FVULTRA60MINN - $149.99 ea

But I also recognize that many of these children need more essential items, so I'd also purchase jeans, teeshirts, socks, and undergarments.

(5x) Route 66 Jeans: #9990000094729221 - 10.00 ea
(5x) Quarter Socks 12 Pack: # 9990000034566013 - 7.99 ea
(1x) Girl's Princess Long Jacket: # 049W091362110001 - 29.99 ea
(2x) Joe Boxer Toddler Boy's Solid Fleece Pant: #99900624Z4312000 - 4.99 ea

Of course, I'd have to examine what each child needs and get them things accordingly. So, the items I've listed might change. But I'm know I use the entire $500 to help these little guys out!

Ooh! What a great campaign. I get to discover your blog 'n stuff, too! :)

Xbox 360 System Hardware Kmart item# 9990000042317511 (because my first one (refurb) died within a week of getting it and RIGHT after I paid for the gold membership)

Then I would have to get some games, but the Kmart online search is being buggy.

[Andy Clement]

I would get a Canon Color printer.
I keep asking my friends to print out my photos for me. This printer would be perfect..

Oh, and probably some Kettle Korn that is always outside our local KMart. :)

[Dan Byrd]

Very cool Julia!

Growing up in rural Iowa, Kmart was definitely the place to go. Good to see that they're being proactive in communicating in a 2.0 world.

If I win, I'm looking at:
-Kmart item# 018W963975110001 (Playstation 3 console)
-Kmart item# 25500PS3UBI39340 (Brothers In Arms Hells Highway Limited Edition)

What can I say... I'm still a kid at heart.
