So this should be the last of my Sam’s Club Holiday posts and the last of my holiday-season $50 Sam’s Club gift-card giveaways. Hopefully you’ve found these posts helpful and for those of you who won the contests – profitable…

So for my last post I’ll be focusing on those last-minute gift ideas that everyone needs right about now – except me. You see, I’ve ranted a whole lot about how much I procrastinate and how I always end up running around the mall on Christmas Eve. I made a concerted effort to avoid that situation this year and I managed to do it – I’m pretty much done shopping – I can’t believe it. The real surprise though, isn’t that I have my shopping done, it’s that the Wife is way behind on buying stuff for me. Our situations are totally reversed this year and I actually find it a bit amusing.

So for those of you who are in the same situation as the Wife – the Sam’s Club site has a page dedicated to some items that you can still purchase and have shipped to you before Christmas. Check it out here. They have some good items left like TVs, Wii consoles, and other toys. If you’re desperate for some last-minute ideas, you should check out the page.

Last Minute Ideas

Don’t forget all of the other helpful holiday ideas we’ve discussed over the past couple months:

  • You can get individualized gift ideas for anyone you can think of using the Gifter-Stress -Lifter program
  • You can help your friends and family know what you’d like to receive using the Wish-List functionality
  • You can look up all sorts of gifts at any price point using the Gifts-Galore feature
  • Lastly, you could always give a Sam’s Club membership using the Gift-of-Membership

So there you have it folks – no more urging from me to go out and spend your money on shopping – my job here is done (for this year at least). To say thanks again for paying attention – here’s one more gift card giveaway for you.

Giveaway!
I have one last $50 Sam’s Club gift card to give-away and you can win it by leaving a comment on this post. I’ve done all types of holiday related themes for these giveaways so I’ll wrap this one up with a really general one. In your comment mention either the thing that you like the most about the holidays OR the thing that you like the least. Pretty simple – everyone has some sort of opinion on these things. Good luck and thanks again.

Official Rules:
1. You must already be, or become a subscriber to this site in order to participate in this contest.
2.  To enter, leave a comment on this post and mention either: the thing you like the most about the holidays OR the thing that you like the least about them – simple as that.
3. One winner will receive $50 worth of Sam’s Club gift cards.
4. The winner will be selected using random.org, based on the number of your comment.
6. This contest will end at 10pm on Wednesday, December 23, 2009.
7. Winners will be notified by email and posted to this site. Winners will have 48 hours from the time of notification to claim their prize. If the prize is not claimed within that time, another winner will be chosen.
8. Each comment represents a single entry. Those entitled to multiple entries for performing “extra credit” must add a comment for each entry.

Extra Credit:
1. Follow me using the Google Friend Connect widget – 1 extra entry
2. Follow on Twitter and Tweet about this contest – 1 extra entry per day (include link to Tweet in your comment)
3. Blog about this contest – 3 extra entries (include a link to the post in your comment)

4. Post a comment on any of the other posts on this site (from the past month) – 1 extra entry per post (leave post name and comment #)

5. Visit the Sam’s Club “Holiday Helper” page and leave a comment on any of the posts. Include a link to this post in your comment. – 2 extra entries for each Holiday Helper post that you comment on (you can do this for any number of the posts on that website but only one comment for each post counts. You can’t just go and add 5 comments to one post and then claim 10 entries, but if you post a comment on five separate posts you can get 10 entries).

(remember, you have to leave a comment for EACH ENTRY when you do extra credit. We pick winners based on a drawing using the comment number. If you put 5 entries into a single comment, you defeat the whole purpose of the extra credit, since you aren’t increasing your chances of winning. No, I am not going to go through each entry and make sure that you’ve entered correctly, that is up to you.)
