This will sound silly but one of my favorite things at Christmas is when you think all the gifts have been opened and then you find one more tucked behind the Christmas tree! It’s like finding $10 in your winter coat the first time you pull it out of storage! Those extra little surprises are so much fun!
So, although our Christmas Giveaway ended last week, we have a few more gifts tucked away behind the tree! We just can’t help it! We love spoiling our readers! However, instead of that $10 you find in your winter coat….how about $50!!!
We are giving away FIVE $50 Gift Cards from American Express! AND we have FIVE more being donated to our Under The Tree Program!!!
If you are thinking of giving your loved ones a gift card this year, consider the American Express gift card. Unlike some others, American Express gift cards have no fees after purchase. That means that your loved ones won’t be surprised with those pesky extra fees for activation, checking the balance, monthly servicing, or card replacement. The only surprise is the fabulous gift card itself! Oh, and the funds on the card never expire!!!
You can also customize your American Express gift card with a personal message to the recipient or choose to give the new limited edition gift cards designed by pop-artist Peter Max.
Now, for your chance to win one of these fabulous gift cards simply leave us a comment telling us:
What would you buy for yourself this holiday season with a $50 American Express gift card?
As always, you can earn even more entries: subscribe to our Feed, sign up for our 5M4M Newsletter, add our 5M4Giveaways button in your sidebar, write a post and link back to this contest on your blog, and spread the word via Twitter or email! Please see our site’s Terms and Conditions of Use for a complete list of our contest and giveaway rules.
This giveaway is open to US shipping addresses and ends Friday, December 18. Our five winners will be announced Saturday, December 19.
Thank you so much to American Express for donating all of these wonderful gift cards for this giveaway and to our Under The Tree program!
We did not receive any incentives from American Express for writing this post. We just want to spread a little more Christmas cheer to our readers and our Under The Tree families!

I would take my husband on a shopping spree. And let him select clothes that you can’t actually stick your finger through because they are so thread bare. Clothes that he won’t have to fish out of the garbage in case the wife “accidentally” threw them away. That’s all I’m sayin’.

I think I would (& will whether I win or not) go to the pet store or animal shelter and buy a kitten to replace the one we just lost. And a whole new set of “cat” items, bowls, litter boxes etc. That will make my childrens Christmas alittle brighter, and not so sad.

My first thought was to buy a much needed pair of boots for myself. Then I remember going by our local homeless shelter. There is a sign out front that posts needs. Usually it lists food items or paper products. It now says “needs” adopt a family for Christmas. If I win one of the $50 gift cards I will use it for this purpose, And maybe I could find some others to match the $50 and make it go further.
Thanks for the opportunity.
God Bless and Merry Christmas, Pam
i’d buy some toys for my daughter.
For myself? Oh boy. I would buy a Cuisinart Slow Cooker. My current slow cooker is really, really old, and on it’s last legs (it is really ugly too LOL)
I would use this to get my husband or kids something for christmas and if I spent on myself I would treat myself to a mani/pedi I haven’t had someone else give me one in years.

Wow…for myself, it says for yourself??? With 4 beautiful children and stealing from Peter to pay Paul, I haven’t been able to spend $50 on myself in years. Since the loss of my job I have learned to dismiss my own wants so quickly, I can’t think of anything for “me”. I would have to say I could really use some new interview clothes. (It may help give me a topping impression in this horrific economy and my dental scrubs really aren’t what a employer is looking to see you in at an interview) However, there are a zillion things I need spend it on for my kiddos like coats, hats, gloves, shoes and and and!

A haircut. I haven’t had one since I was pregnant with my 15-month-old and I’m looking VERY shabby.
I seriously need professional clothes for work. I’m a high school teacher, but in the winter I dress like one of the students because I have no money to buy nice outfits. I would totally buy myself a couple nice looking long sleeved shirts (rather than sweatshirts!) and dresses for work. Thanks for the opportunity!
I need some professional clothes because I am a single mom and student and am starting an internship at a CPA firm in January!
I wish I could just spend it all on myself. There are so many fun things I would like… call me crazy, but there are a few new cloth diapers I would like to try. I could use some new shoes. But in reality, I would use it to pay bills. We have had a few really hard months financially, and some bills have been pushed aside. I really want to get those taken care of, so… that’s my Christmas present to myself!
I would purchase some new winter sweaters because mine are definitely running thin!
I don’t think I would buy something for myself but instead something for my hubby. He really needs a new bike helmet and the $50 would help that out a lot.

So wonderful to read that there are no fees. I’m always a bit suspicious of these kind of cards, but now I know which one I’ll choose when I buy gifts in the future.
If I won, I’d buy a pair of El Naturalista clogs. They are the BEST. My favorite shoes, for sure. BUT they are very pricey so this card would give me a little under 1/2 of what I need. I’m sure that I could scrounge up the other half somewhere.

I would give it to my mother to put towards a first payment of pet insurance for her new puppy. She was so thrilled to get him- gave her new meaning to her life, but only to find out that he has lots of medical problems! She can’t afford to pay all the vet bills, but needs money to put towards insurance for the pup!
