Sometimes as a mom the holidays can be rough. Between class parties, trimming the tree, baking for the neighbors, sending Christmas cards, feeding the family and all the other joys of November/December it is hard to find time to hunt for the perfect gift for each loved one on your list.
With a 3 year old and 1 year old in tow it is nearly impossible to make it out of the mayhem of a department store unscathed. Not to mention, without them seeing any surprises that were headed under the tree.
I have found my holiday shopping sanity. It involves jammies, a steamy mug of hot chocolate, a wishlist, and my laptop. Seriously, raise your hand if you do at least some of your shopping online. C'mon, even a lot of the Black Friday deals are available on the web. It's a no brainer!
With my love of online shopping, Naturally I was thrilled when I found out about Mastercard's Here's to Mom program!
Spend $200 online with your Mastercard and they give you a $20 gift card.
It's like an automatic 10% off! Cool right?!
All you do to receive your $20 MasterCard gift card is enroll here with your MasterCard card (credit or debit) and e-mail address, shop online with that card between November 15 and December 31, 2011. After spending $200 online you’ll receive an e-mail where you can redeem your gift card reward.
So go, curl up with your laptop. Click, deliver, wrap, done. Then, for all the strain on fingertips from scrolling and clicking save up your gift cards and treat your self to a nice massage. No one will be the wiser. ;)
Happy Black Friday!
I received product and payment for this post - all opinions and love of avoiding lines and online shopping are my own.

I'm totally with you about the hassle of mall or department store shopping. And I'm not even a mom! Thank goodness for the internet so antisocial types like me don't have to venture out into the madness. Love me some online shopping!
