Gift cards are expected to top wish lists this Christmas season, and for good reason – the recipient can purchase whatever they desire. No more gifts that will sit in the closet, or end up re-gifted. American Express Gift Cards – one of the only universal gift card available with no fees after purchase – are available in denominations of $25, $50, $100, and $200, and are available in some very gift-worthy designs for purchase online and at over 70,000 retailers nationwide.
As we’re running about trying to fulfill the wishes of everyone on our gift list, we sorta forget about ourselves, don’t we? Well, first of all, make things easy on yourself and purchase some American Express gift cards and second, enter to win something for yourself! You’ll have a great chance to treat yourself to something special right here, because American Express is giving 10 From Dates to Diapers readers a chance to win a $50 AmEx gift card!
Here’s what you must do to enter:
- Leave me a comment, by 9pm (pst) on December 11th, telling me about how you would treat yourself if you were to win. You may spend the gift card however you’d like, if you win, but I’m not looking to read altruistic entries… You MUST tell me how you would spend this $50 on YOURSELF!
For additional entries, daily, you may:
- Link to this giveaway on your blog and/or Facebook wall. Be sure you leave me a separate comment for each link.
- Tweet about this giveaway and include a link, using the hashtag #D2Dgvwy, as many times as you like before next Friday night, and leave me a separate comment for each tweet.
- Link to the From Dates to Diapers Holiday Gift Guide on your blog, Facebook wall, or in a tweet, and leave me a comment for each link.
TEN winners will be selected at random, each to receive a $50 American Express gift card, good anywhere American Express is accepted. Winners will be emailed and will then have 24 hours to respond before forfeiting their prize.
Please note: I was not compensated in any way to host this giveaway. I simply could not pass up an opportunity to aid in blessing the lives of ten families during these hard economic times.

If I won I would treat myself to a nice dinner and a hair cut and I would get my nails done. I may even buy some candles to enjoy by the tub.
I need and would love to get myself a new pair of boots.

Underwear and socks. I ‘ve been meaning to get some new ones for months now (doesn’t time just fly).
I know you said that I was to spend this great gift card on myself, but if I won I would send it to my nephew in the Air Force who doesn’t get to come home this Christmas! I will miss him! (I could use $50 in new makeup!) Thanks! senekers@comcast.net
I would get my first ever manicure, I am going on 29 and have never in my life had a manicure. Sure I don’t need one but I would love a little me time and a confidence boost of having beautiful nails!

I’d love to get some new clothes for myself, maybe a nice pair of jeans!
I would love to treat my husband to a special dinner if I won. We haven’t been out alone together in two years so it would be very special.

I would honest, truly treat myself! My hair hasn’t been cut since I don’t know when (it’s below my shoulders,) so I would really love to splurge on myself and get a good quality haircut and style. I think it would make me feel better about myself and honestly, it’s about time I think of myself instead of everyone else! There….I finally said it!
I’d love to get a new pair of winter boots with this gift card!

Since I rarely buy myself anything, this would be a treat. I would probably start with the Sookie Stackhouse vampire book series and maybe a shirt or two or three from Kohls!

It’s been a pretty stressful year, so I think I’d indulge a little and use the gift card toward paying for a deep tissue massage at the local health club and end 2009 in the most relaxing way possible. Thanks!!

Dominion: Intrigue would probably be my purchase. I have to admit that I found the base Dominion game a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

I would get a new pair of black work shoes! I know it doesn’t sound that exciting, but… I’ve been wearing brown shoes to work (with a black shirt and black pants) for the last couple of months because I don’t have the money to get new shoes.
If I had money left over I would get a pair of fun shoes too!
I would get my hair cut, it is in desperate need! Thanks for the chance!

This time of year is so stressful. To pamper myself I would get a new robe and slippers and some new bath products.

Okay–for me.
I think what i want most to indulge in is a Drummel for my feet!
The idea came to me with my dad’s gross feet, he loves removing his calluses for some reason. Well as i was buying one for Christmas i was tempted to just forget about him and keep it for myself! haha. The other $20 left would have to be for a actual lunch from a food place. I’ve been careful with money therfore making lunches at home. Subway misses me.
-Thanks!
Simple: A visit to the SPA. Love it! : )

I’d go spend it on some new KISS collectibles to add to my collection!
This is going to sound so lame but warm fuzzy slippers and COFFEE! I’d treat myself to a wicked good cup of coffee to help me keep up the stamina to shop for this crew then I’d get the warmest fuzziest slippers I could find (there is frosting on the ground again and even with socks and slip-ons my little piggies be frozen!)
Right now, that is my idea of heaven.

I have never owned a cashmere sweater, so I would put this toward that. I recently tried a black cardigan on at Macy’s and fell in love with it! It was so soft and felt fabulous on. I sooooo want one!!!

I’ve been unemployed for a year, so eating out isn’t something I do very often. I think I’d spend this money to eat out when I need a mood-picker-upper!
Thanks for the giveaway!
