Have you ever stashed a gift card somewhere, and forgot about it? Do you have a gift card to a store you really don’t shop at? Well, check out the Tango Card. The Tango Card is a flexible gift card that can be redeemed for marquee brand gift cards like Amazon.com or Starbucks, donated to select nonprofit organizations, or even redeemed for cash. So for example, imagine you have a $100 Tango Card – you can go spend $50 at Amazon.com, then donate $25 to Habitat for Humanity and then get $25 on a Starbucks card. There are also free mobile apps that let people organize gift cards in one place, use gift cards in-store from a mobile device, and receive email alerts and reminders to use gift cards.

I recently received a Tango card and redeemed it for a $25 Target Gift Card that will be mailed to me and a $25 Amazon.com e-card that has already been added to my Amazon.com account! One of the best features in my opinion is the option to add any gift card you have when you create an account to keep track of all your gift cards and balances. Unless you are super organized, it’s easy to loose track of your cards or just forget that you have them.

Check out your options at Tango Card to see what brands of gift cards are available for purchase and non-profits you can donate to.

You can sweeten someone’s day with Hershey’s Valentine products this year!

For your child’s teacher, why not try this Hershey’s Golden Apple (a hollow milk chocolate apple wrapped in gold foil) or the Twizzlers Strawberry Twists Pencil Can (filled with individually wrapped Twizzlers candy).

For friends and co-workers you can eliminate the card, and purchase Hershey’s Valentine’s Exchange variety bags, which are fully-equipped with a “To” and “From” section directly on the packaging.

For faraway family members and friends Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates Picture Box and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures Picture Box have a picture frame on top of the box, where you can insert your own special picture! We love this idea!

One of my personal favorites is this Hershey’s Milk Chocolate XOXO Bar.

The Glamourmom maternity tank is a non-nursing bra tank with a full built-in bra for support during pregnancy. A few unique qualities of the tank include:

• Fashion rouching detail along both sides which adjusts to your pregnancy belly.

• Adjustable straps with memory filler for extra support

• Extra length for style and guaranteed coverage

If you have followed Passion For Savings for several years you have probably heard me talk about Glamourmom. They are one of my favorite companies and something that I discovered back when I was pregnant with my Oldest Son who is 4.

Last fall when I was pregnant I received the Glamourmom Maternity Tank, this is a new Tank designed for the Pre-Baby Stages and it’s got some of my favorite Glamourmom Features including the Longer Length which is always important to me. It’s also made of the same fabric as the Glamourmom Nursing Tanks and it has a built in Bra for additional support. I have mentioned that we lost our baby girl Presley Kate at the end of November so I never was able to wear this tank in the later months of my Pregnancy, but I did wear it often when I was just 15-20 weeks and I loved that it had plenty of room for those last few months, while still being very comfortable in the earlier months as well.

I consider Glamourmoms a great investment piece, I still wear my Long Nursing Tanks on a daily basis because I love the extra length and they are great under just about everything. I also have had them for over 4 years now and they are extremely well made.

If you would like to Win a Glamourmom Maternity Tank for yourself or to give as a gift make sure you Enter this giveaway!

In honor of the New Muppets Movie that’s in Theaters now Band-Aid brands is premiering the New Muppet Band-Aids on Amazon.com right now.

Do you remember (This Post) where I told you about our out of control Flower Beds? The Bagster Bag Company had challenged a group of bloggers to clean up and I jumped at the opportunity to have the front of the house under control again.

Well I’m happy to report that with the help of The Bagster Bag we have finally finished our Front Yard Project.

It took several free weekends, a lot of hard work by my hubby and a little help from our 3 year old but I’m so excited about the outcome.

Of course we couldn’t have done this without The Bagster Bag. One of the biggest problems we all face when we are cleaning out our yard or remodeling our houses is that the “Waste” and “Old Stuff” Can be hard to get rid of. The Bagster solves this problem. All you have to do is purchase The Bagster at your local Home Improvement Store (We actually got ours on Amazon with Free Super Saver Shipping) and then when you’re finished filling up The Bagster you just call and have them pick it up. It was Soooo easy to have it removed which was the best part about using The Bagster.

The funniest part about the whole thing was that when our neighbors realized that this bag would be hauled off and that it wasn’t quite full they all started asking if they could add to our bag. Since the bagster fee isn’t based on weight this was a great way to make some Friends with our neighbors. Plus it’s amazing to see just how much the bag can hold!

If you have a Fall, Winter or Spring Yard Project, a Household Remodel or maybe you’re just planning on cleaning out the Garrage or Shed and you’re not sure how to get rid of everything you should check out TheBagster.com for more information.

GIVEAWAY: Great News 1 Lucky Passion For Savings reader will win a $100 Visa Gift Card from Bagster! Here’s how you can enter to win:

I’m a Big Fan of Holiday Shopping online, I used to rush to the stores to get the best deals on Black Friday and I’ve learned over the past few years that I can often get the same deals online for the same price or even less if I’m just patient and I wait for the right deals to come along.

Another thing I like about online shopping is earning points or additional discounts that I can’t get when I shop in stores and This Year Box Tops for Education has Created a new way for you to Shop Online and Earn Box Tops for your School!

I was so excited when Box Tops contacted me and asked if I would share this program with you. I know so many of you have kids in school and you’re always looking for ways to help support your local schools and fund programs that might be underfunded. Box tops are a great way you can do just that while you’re shopping in stores and now you can shop online and earn Box Tops for your school!

For Every $10 you spend in the Box Tops 4 Education Marketplace you will receive a Set Number of Box Tops. This number varies depending on the store you’re shopping at. Here are a few examples:

1-800-Flowers: Get 8 Box Tops for Every $10 Spent

Ann Taylor: Get 2.5 Box Tops for every $10 Spent

Apple Store: Get 1 Box Top for every $10 Spent

Carters: Get 2.5 Box Tops for every $10 Spent

Crocs: Earn 4 Box Tops for every $10 Spent

To start shopping I just created an account and selected my local school. Then I was able to shop any of the stores in the Box Tops Marketplace by clicking the link. American Eagle had 40% off and Free Shipping Yesterday so I was able to grab 2 Pairs of Jeans for just around $50 and get 10 Box Tops for our local Christian School at our Church. I love that I was able to grab a great online deal, get Free Shipping and Earn Box Tops all at the same time!

Mmm… I think one of my favorite things about Cooler Weather and Fall Months is the comeback of Soup! I am one of those people that doesn’t really like to eat (or Cook) Soup during the Hot Summer Months, but there’s nothing I love more than a Sunday Night Bowl of Soup, snuggled up under a blanket watching TV with my family!

In honor of “Soup-Season” Bertolli is introducing their new line of Bertolli Meal Soups for two. Bertolli is known for their Authentic Italian-Inspired foods and their soups are made with only the best ingredients.

We had the chance to try the Chicken Minestrone Soup and what I love is how SIMPLE these are to cook. The Pasta and Chicken tasted great which is always my #1 concern with frozen meals. This really did taste like homemade soup, only better! I’m not sure I could create a soup this yummy, There are 4 flavors you can choose from. This is the type of product I will keep in my freezer for quick meals, or meals when I don’t feel like cooking. It’s something I know my family will eat and something I can fall back on in last minute situations.

GIVEAWAY: Great News 1 Lucky Passion For Savings reader will win a Bertolli Prize Pack Valued at over $100!

The Prize Pack Includes:

• All Clad Stainless Steel Ladle
• Mario Batali Soup Pot
• Branded Freezer Bag
• Free Product Coupon to try the new Bertolli Meal Soup

 One of the things I hear EVERY year around the Holidays is that you need ideas of items to buy for Older Boys. It seems there is this age where they outgrow all the “Toys” and they start wanting Electronics and Video Game Systems, but after that people are often lost for ideas of what to buy.

Here’s a great gift idea from Rockboard Scooters. This isn’t your “Normal” Scooter, the Rockboard Scooters are a Hybrid where you can use this scooter in two ways, you can use your legs to Push the Scooter along, or you can use the Exclusive Rockboard Scooter Propulsion Technology which allows you to Rock Up and Down while you are moving in order to propel the scooter.

This is a very high tech scooter and let me tell you, it wasn’t the “Little Boy” in my house that was excited about this one, I think my husband was the most excited! The Original Rockboard Scooter has a maximum weight limit of 200 lbs. which means even my husband can ride this one, there is also a Rockboard Mini model that is for younger kids weighing up to 90 lbs.

You can purchase the Rockboard Scooters at Target.com!

GIVEAWAY: Great News 1 Lucky Passion For Savings reader will win a Rockboard Scooter valued at $199!

Here’s how you can enter to win:

1. Comment - Leave a comment letting me know Who You would share the Rockboard Scooter with?

My Family LOVES to eat at Cracker Barrel, there’s just something comforting about Down Home Cookin’. Every time we walk in to the store My kids are mesmerized by the toy section. I don’t know if it’s the Abundance of Toys they have never seen before, or the Simplicity of classic toys but every time they find something they love to play with!

Cracker Barrel always has a great selection of Classic Toys. These are perfect for Kids who have everything and I find that often my kids are entertained even more by the Classics, like Puzzles, Wooden Train Sets, and Soft Dolls (Or Sock Monkeys) than they are by the latest toy to hit the shelves at Toys R Us.

Here are a few items to consider when doing your Holiday Shopping this year:

Butterflies Dolls are a line of 8 dolls that are made exclusively for the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.  They each have their own personality and name!  The Butterflies are powered by your child’s imagination rather than batteries which helps them think more creatively.  Each doll comes with her own outfit and you can purchase more clothes separately.  Their hair already comes in the doll’s favorite hairstyle, so if your child likes to do her doll’s hair, this doll may not be the best for that.  However, you can take all of their hair accessories out and put them in differently.

Cracker Barrel’s Great Gifts selection offers some favorites like the wood train set, the wood works airplane, and a sock monkey hat.  Once again, everything doesn’t have to be powered by batteries!  The classic wood train set comes with a track, train cars and other accessories.  The train cars attach by magnets on either end which make them fun to move around!  

GIVEAWAY: Great News 1 Lucky Passion For Savings reader will win a Toy Gift Pack from Cracker Barrel Including the Following:

1 of the 8 Unique Butterflies Dolls

Butterflies Utensil Set

Butterflies Doll Chef Hat & Apron

Butterflies Plush Cupcake

Butterflies Tote

Wood Train Set

Wood Works Airplane
Sock Monkey Hat

This year you can grab some Great Gift Ideas from Mr. Coffee and Oster at Walmart Stores Nationwide! I wanted to share with you a few great Gift Ideas that are very reasonably priced and sure to make anyone on your list smile!

Mr Coffee 12 Cup No Carafe Coffeemaker, $48.88 at Walmart Stores and Walmart.com
This is perfect, budget friendly way to brew an entire pot of coffee and dispense it one cup at a time. The Mr. Coffee No Carafe Coffeemaker holds up to 12 Cups of Coffee at one time and allows you to instantly serve one cup at a time! This is perfect if you love fresh ground coffee or you have a lot of Coffee Drinkers in your home! It’s Single Serve Convenience for those who like to brew an entire pot.

Oster MyBlend Blender, $29.88 at Walmart Stores and Walmart.com
Perfect for anyone who loves to create their own energy shakes or smoothies the Oster My Blend Blender allows you to blend your Drink Directly into a Sports Bottle. This is a BPA Free, 20-oz. Sport Bottle that is Reusable and Dishwasher Safe!

Oster Electric Wine Bottle Opener, $19.94 at Walmart Stores and Walmart.com
Give the perfect gift for wine lovers! You can open a bottle of wine with the press of a button with this Oster Electric Wine Bottle Opener. Designed to fit Traditional Wine Bottles, this Cordless Electric Opener fits in it’s recharging base and is ready to go in seconds. Corks come out Smoothly every time!

I got a chance to try out all three of these products listed above and I think they would all make great gifts! I’m personally a fan of the Mr Coffee No Carafe Coffeemaker, I love that I can use my Starbucks Coffee and brew more than one cup at a time, but I still have the convenience of single serve. All you have to do is push your cup against the lever in the back to dispense a cup, you also don’t have to worry about choosing a cup size.

I’m also a fan of the MyBlend Blender. I am a Smoothie LOVER and this blended Ice better than I expected. It’s also nice not to have to get a bunch of different dishes dirty, since you blend everything in the sports bottle it’s nice to only have one dirty bottle to deal with at the end of the day. I also love that you can grab Replacement MyBlend Bottles so I can make a smoothie for me and one for my hubby!

I remember when Straighteners first started to become popular and there were a lot of people who said that “They are all the same” and that it didn’t matter  if you bought an expensive one, well I was one of those people for a while, I couldn’t justify spending the money on an expensive straightener when I could get one for half the price. However, after I went through 3 Cheap Straighteners I finally broke down to buy an expensive one and it lasted me several years! After that I’ve been hooked on high quality beauty tools.

I also have to admit that I did the same thing with Hair Dryers, I used my (Free at Walgreens) Hairdryer for years before I invested in a high quality Hair Dryer and now I can’t go back.

A few years ago my Sister introduced me to Folica an online resource for High Quality Beauty tools at great prices! We have ordered from Folica several times over the past few years and we’ve always been extremely satisfied because they have great quality products and they often have great Sales and Deals! I’ve had my current straightener from Folica for over 3 years now! I love the reviews, Previously I had a CHI and I Was looking for something of similar quality when I read the reviews on Folica, I was excited to find a new brand that shoppers in the review section felt was BETTER than the CHI, I was skeptical but even today I love my current straightener more than I loved my CHI! So make sure you check out the Reviews Sections on Folica!

Here are a few Gift Ideas currently available at Great Prices on Folica -
