How to Get Free Gifts for the Holidays

5:16 am Blog Post, Lifestyle, Mom Life

I’m always looking for ways to spend less money on toys during the holidays. I’d rather spend that money on clothes, food and other things that we need around the house. 

The reality is that children love toys and always expect to get A LOT of them during the holidays.

I want to make my boys happy and give them what they want. By the time the holidays roll around, I have over 20 items for my boys. I know, I get a little carried away, but can you blame me? 

There is one thing you should know… I get a majority of them for free. Yes, free. You see, free is one of my favorite words.

It’s been about five years since I’ve gotten free toys for my boys during the holidays. I’m about to share with you just how I do it. 

Are you ready? 

If so, let’s get started. 

First and foremost, I’m a Pampers and Huggies rewards member. This means that every time I purchase diapers or wipes from one or both of these companies, I scan the code on the Pampers app and submit my Huggies receipts to my Huggies rewards account. Over time, these points add up and allow me to get free items for my family. I mean, just take a look at all the amazing toys that they have!

 

Now that I have your attention, I have some more amazing news. Toys aren’t the only things that I get for free. Sometimes, I even get gift cards for children’s clothing stores such as Carter’s.

The best part? You can get in on the action, too!

For the last few years, I’ve been going to Carter’s to take part in their “Dash to Win” event. On Black Friday they give away gift cards to the first 100 customers at the door. This is an amazing chance to get some free gifts for the kids.

I usually attend with several of my family members so that we can combine our gift cards. It’s a fun and free event, and, you never know, you may very well win a gift card worth $100!

Here is why I suggest that you spend less on gifts for the holidays:

  • You can save more
  • Toys will get old and will eventually no longer be played with
  • Sometimes toys break easily
  • You will feel less stressed

I would highly suggest that you look into everything that I mentioned and save your money for other things that you need. 

If you can get several free items for the holidays, you can use that left over money to finally go on that cruise you’ve always dreamed of. You can finally donate to that special charity you’ve envisioned donating. Maybe, you want to treat yourself to a spa day! 

As soon as I saw how much I was saving from receiving free gifts, I knew I had to do it more often. That extra money comes in handy and you can do the same!

Happy 11th wedding anniversary to us! 💍 5 thing Happy 11th wedding anniversary to us! 💍
5 things that we’ve learned:

- As we get older, we change. It’s up to both of us to adjust to the change and be willing to accept the change. Change isn’t always bad. Change is good for growth! 

- There will be times when we can’t stand each other. It’s up to us to work through the situations and move on. Life is too short to be mad at the person you love. Sometimes it’s the pettiest thing that makes us can’t stand our partners, but marriage is a partnership. It will work if both of you want it to. 

- Never go to bed angry! That’s the worst because what usually happens is the situations continue to pile up. Think of it as a balloon. When you blow into the balloon, the balloon gets bigger and bigger to the point that it may pop. That’s the same thing when we’re angry with our partner. When you go to bed angry, you allow the anger to continue to build up. Then the situation explodes and it could’ve been resolved if you would’ve talked about it that night before it got worst. 

- If you fall out of love, work on falling back into love if you want your marriage to work. This is a team commitment. Sometimes we fall out of love if our partner. They may stop complimenting us. Sometimes you may feel unappreciated and it’s up to you to express how you feel to your partner and for you guys to work on those things. So you can feel loved again and remember why you fell in love with them. 

- Marriage isn’t always 50/50 and you should be ok with it. Sometimes you may be doing more than your partner. Sometimes your partner may be doing more than you and it’s ok as long as you guys work together to get things done. No marriage is perfect. It takes work. It takes commitment and it takes two people to make it work.

What’s one thing that you have learned in your marriage?

It’s something about watching a man (the head of the house) put things in order. My husband had a hard life growing up in Jamaica, but that doesn’t mean our children need to go through the same.

Generational trauma symptoms are low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, insomnia, anger, and self-destructive behaviors.  It’s important to break these cycles. Working through the hurts, pain, and healing from the past helps our children to not go through the same.

How are you breaking the cycle of generational trauma?
