The Holidays are Coming...Prepare Now!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kmart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Yes, I know...it is just starting to feel like fall in most places.  BUT, the holidays will literally be here in the blink of an eye.  What does that mean?  It is time to get started now when it comes to thinking about holiday gifts.

My daughter is always mentioning different things she would like this year for Christmas when we are out and about.  I try to make a mental note at that moment and then write it down when I have a chance.  Of course, I also take time in the evenings to browse online at different stores including

We recently got our daughter the Leap Frog LeapPad2 so I games for that are on our list

For E, I think something like this little drum set would be perfect

 

Of course, along with coming up with ideas for gifts to buy comes the planning for how to pay for those gifts. For us, budgeting and planning is key to a successful holiday gift giving time.  Too often, we haven't planned and ended up spending way too much on gifts for the year and regretting it come the new year.

That's where layaway can provide BIG advantages...especially when it is free layaway like they offer at Kmart.  Yep, free layaway!  You can see it Kmart's layaway program offers some other major benefits compared to its competition

Plus, right now, you can enter the Kmart's Big Layaway Giveaway. From now until November 17th, Kmart is giving away one layaway per store, per week.
