As big proponents of sending cards (and saving the ones we receive ourselves, for all of eternity), we’re pretty excited to see just how many beautifully designed, modern cards are being offered by our partner Hallmark these days. Because let’s be honest, we’re often the ones in the local drugstore days before Christmas, stocking up for all those last minute invitations and visitors. And we are picky. As you well know.

 No, we didn’t design this but we want to hire whomever did.

So we’re especially delighted to learn about Hallmark’s rewards program which gives you goodies of your choice just for buying the cool things you’d buy anyway. And that’s our favorite kind of rewards program. But since this is the season of giving, there’s more.

Right now, visit the Hallmark Facebook page and play the Seal the Deal instant win game, and you’ll automatically win something. From nice coupons to grand prizes like a new iPad, a $2,500 shopping spree, or $5,000 towards a dream family vacation.

And if that weren’t nice enough, Hallmark is giving another special goodie just to one of our readers.

Special as in $500 special. Hello.

We’ve put it together just for you, and we think you’ll like it. It includes: A gorgeous Kate Spade New York Bright-Light Carah crossbody bag AND a $50 American Express gift card for you, and one for you to share with a friend. Because what is the holidays about, if not sharing?

So that’s two bags and two gift cards for one lucky Cool Mom Picks reader.

Thanks to all that entered and congrats to the winner! THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED

Thanks to our sponsor Hallmark for making great cards, giving away great stuff, and doing nice things for our readers. Make sure to sign up for the Hallmark rewards program for all the cards you buy at more than 30,000 stores and head to the Hallmark Facebook page to play the Seal the Deal instant win game. Good luck!
