We are well into the holiday shopping season, and I am excitedly making great progress! It seems that with each passing year, we have more and more people of on gift lists, because we want to show these folks just how much we appreciate them. This year, aside from purchasing gifts for friends and family, we're purchasing gifts for some other special folks- including service people, and teachers!

This is my son's first year in school, and we truly love his teachers. They do such a wonderful job with all of the children, but they particularly nurture and encourage our son. We absolutely want to show our appreciation for them, and all that they do, but don't really know anything about their personal lives or likes/dislikes. Sure, it would be easy to gift them a mug with hot cocoa packets, but that seems sort of cliche and impractical. We want to give them something useful, and were thinking that gift cards would be perfect, because they could then use those for anything they'd like!

Now at Albertsons, save $10 off your next trip when you buy $100 or more in select gift cards including: 

o Visa Gift ($25, $50 & $100 cards only)

o Amazon 

o MasterCard ($25 & $50 cards only)

· If you aren’t close to an Albertsons location, or prefer to shop online, check  out hundreds of gift cards on GiftCardMall.com. Some gift cards offer options to personalize the card plastic with your own pictures or images. (Please note that the promotion is only in the stores.)

· Don’t forget that you can also save by using gift cards as cash when you shop and dine all year round!

I don't know about you, but I love being able to save money when shopping for gifts. One doesn't often get the opportunity to save when purchasing gift cards, so this is pretty incredible! I have a whole list of folks I'd like to purchase gift cards for, because I don't think you can go wrong with a gift card during the holiday season! This will allow our gift recipients to purchase something they want or need, instead of having to deal with a gift that might not fit their lifestyle. Alberstons makes it easier than ever to give the gifts everyone on your list will love, and put money back into your pocket! Maybe I'll slip a little 'Santa present' under the tree for myself with all that extra money I saved!
