How are you coming along with your holiday shopping? Have you checked off everyone on your shopping list? Are you having a hard time finding the perfect gift? Or are you like me and barely have any shopping done (I am so late this year!).
It’s not always easy to find the right gift. There are people on my holiday shopping list that I have a difficult buying for because I don’t know what they like/don’t like and what they might need.
Gift cards are always a great idea – especially when you are at a loss as to what to buy.
Many people give gift card to specific stores, or Visa/Mastercard gift card that can be used just about anywhere.
How often do you give gift card to restaurants? I think many people forget that restaurant gift cards are a great option. Who doesn’t like to eat out?
A great gift option for a new parent (or any parent) would be to offer a free night of babysitting accopanied with a gift card to a restaurant so that mom and dad can enjoy a “date night.” Bonus points if you include a movie gift card too.
This holiday season, Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse are giving YOU a special treat when you purchase gift cards.
Olive Garden is offering a $10 bonus gift card for every $50 purchased in gift cards from now until January 3, 2016 (valid for redemption between January 4 – March 31, 2016). You can keep that $10 bonus gift card for yourself, or gift it to someone.
LongHorn Steakhouse is offering a similar deal. For every $25 ONLINE gift card purchase from now until December 24, 2015 you’ll receive a $5.00 bonus gift card that can be used towards the purchase of two adult entrees (valid redemption January 1 – February 7, 2016).
In addition, LongHorn Steakhouse has an “in restaurant” offer – for every $50 in in-restaurant gift card purchases from now until December 24, 2016 you’ll receive a coupon for $10 off two adult dinner entrees (valued redemption January 1 – February 7, 2016).
These are great offers – too good to pass up on.
We don’t have any LongHorn Steakhouses in my area, but we have Olive Garden. We LOVE eating at Olive Garden. If my family and friends are reading this post they are more than welcome to gift us Olive Garden gift cards. LOL!
