Gifts For Moms
You’re sure to find something special for Mom at
Bath & Body Works ($10/$25), the store
for fragrance, skin care, and home décor. Moms love
department stores, and GLSC offers gift cards from America’s
favorites including JCPenney ($25/$100), and Younkers
($25/$100). Moms also love Sally Beauty ($25) where she can
find makeup and beauty products for a fresh look for the new
year. If she enjoys entertaining, stir things up with a gift
from Williams Sonoma ($25) or Pier 1 ($25). Don’t forget
timeless classic clothing with a Talbot’s gift card ($25), or
pamper her with a Spafinder gift certificate ($25) redeemable
nationwide at the Spafinder luxury spas.
Stuff For Dads
Get Dad off the sofa and into the great outdoors with a
Cabela’s ($25) gift card. Dad probably has a fix-it list
around the house, so give him a Sears gift card
($25/$100/$250), where he’ll find a big selection of Craftsman
tools, or Home Depot ($25/$100/$500) where he’ll find the
supplies. Waldenbooks ($10/$25) is where he’ll find something
great to read. And don’t forget his favorite electronics
stores - Best Buy ($25/$100/$250) and Circuit City ($50/$100)
where you’ll find DVDs, computer stuff, or that HDTV he’s been
dreaming of.
For Young People
Office Depot ($25) has a great selection of digital cameras
and mp3 players. They’ll need some new music, so give them 15
Napster downloads ($15). Speaking of entertainment, send them
to their favorite theatre: AMC Theatres ($25), Celebration
Cinema ($10), Loews Cineplex ($25), National
Amusements/Showcase Theatres ($25) and Regal Theatres ($25).
After the movie, how about a snack at TCBY ($5), Quizno’s ($5)
or Jamba Juice ($10). Finally, your college kid is more likely
to call home if you pay for it, so give them (and you) a gift
with a AT&T 120 minute phone card ($9.50).
Teacher Gifts
The holidays are a great time to show your appreciation for
teachers. A Mrs. Field’s gift certificate ($5) is a thoughtful
gift. Or start her day with a treat from Starbucks ($10/$25).

enjoy, and AMC Theatres ($25) has holiday movies she wants to
see. After a hard day at school, how about dinner out? Popular
favorites are Longhorn Steakhouse ($25), Bob Evans ($10),
Applebee’s ($25), Bennigan’s ($25), or Chili’s ($20). Or maybe
teacher needs a relaxing night at home. Blockbuster Night
Cards ($12) can be redeemed for 2 movie rentals, popcorn, and
beverages. And the Dominos Combo certificate ($14) is good for
a delicious large pizza and a two liter Coca-Cola product
delivered free.

find fragrance or skin care products at Bath & Body Works
($10/$25) . How about a movie? National Amusements/Showcase
($25) is redeemable for concession items and admission to
theatres nationwide. Or, she’ll enjoy movies at home with a

so why not give her some tunes with a Napster ($15) gift
certificate, redeemable for 15 song downloads.

associates. Hickory Farms ($10) offers tasty gourmet gifts.
