48-Hour Giveaway: 2 $100 Gift Cards to Borders

Borders recently wrote and asked me if they could give me a $100 gift card to use in-store in their new toys and games section. When they said they had a whole selection of Melissa & Doug products to choose from, there was no hesitation, I jumped on the opportunity.

My husband and I had fun Christmas shopping together for the girls the other night using our gift card. I rarely shop at retail stores so I was expecting the prices to be very high and wondering how far $100 would really go. Well, in all honesty, I was pretty impressed.

They had the Melissa & Doug products on sale for Buy One, Get One 50% off and the rest of the toys and games were Buy Two, Get One Free. So we ended up getting three nice games plus four Melissa & Doug products for just under $100. We got one of the games free since we bought three and we got two of the Melissa & Doug products half-priced since we bought four. Plus, I signed up in-store for a Borders Rewards card (it's free!) and immediately got a coupon for $5 off our next order–which we also used.

All in all, we saved around $40 with their current specials, so I was especially happy about that! The register did have some issues giving me the free game and they had to re-ring the order on that and end up manually keying it in to get it to work, but the staff was very helpful and patient to make sure my order rang up correctly.
