The holidays are here, and I don't know about you, but I love getting into the holiday spirit with my family and friends. When I think of this time of the year, I hear carols in my head, see glimpses of loved ones sitting by the fire, enjoying one another's company over good food, drinks, and the laughter of little ones. We have a lot of family holiday traditions, and this year, we're excited to have a new baby in the mix. It definitely makes things a bit more interesting, and chaotic when you're having to figure out new ways to do things.

I have to plan ahead for any of the usual holiday activities we do as a family, like baking cookies, and making gingerbread houses. I used to keep supplies and ingredients for holiday baking on hand, but this year, I had to plan out what I wanted to make, and make a list to take to the grocery store!

I love grocery shopping this time of the year, because there are always great sales going on, and I find myself very inspired to create holiday meals and special treats. I like grocery shopping alone, because it gives me a little time to browse the aisles. One of my favorite places to stop and look, is the gift card display. I love looking through all of the available gift cards, and the convenience of being able to shop for holiday gifts while I am buying my weekly groceries.

Now is the time to shop and save at Giant Eagle! December 15 - 24, you can earn 20¢ fuelperks! for every $50.00 you spend on restaurant and select gift cards at Giant Eagle! I was already planning on picking up some restaurant gift cards to give as Christmas gifts- they're so practical! Now that I know I can earn fuelperks on top of my gift card purchases, it just makes me want to buy them all the more!

I love knowing that when I buy gift cards to some of my family's favorite restaurants like Dominos, Darden Restaurants (Olive Garden, etc), Panera, and others, I can earn rewards for myself! Who said shopping can't be rewarding, right?
