Christmas Catalog: Box Tops Marketplace

This giveaway has now ENDED.
Thank you to all those who participated, and congratulations to our winner Barbara P.!

It's time for another awesome CHRISTMAS CATALOG review and giveaway! Last Friday, I shared with you Macy's campaign to donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish foundation for every letter to Santa that they receive in their "Believe Santa Mail" mailbox. It's a great way to give back this holiday season at no cost to you. I'll even give you a $50 giftcard (courtesy of Box Tops Marketplace) to shop and give back with!

Box Tops for Education is another great way to give back without spending any extra money. I'm sure most of you are already familiar with the Box Tops coupons found on hundreds of your favorite products. But did you know that you can also support your chosen school by shopping online at the Box Tops Marketplace?

A percentage of your purchase will be AUTOMATICALLY donated to your school with no additional cost to you. It really does not get any easier than that. Signing up at the Box Tops Marketplace takes less than a minute, and you can start to shop instantly. I chose to support my old middle school - our 6 month old obviously does not go to school. I love that even though I'm no longer in the area, I can still do something to support my middle school.

There are a number of different merchants available at the Box Tops Marketplace:
  • Barnes & Nobles: 6% donation
  • Magazines.com: 20% donation
  • Walmart: 2% donation
  • Zoobooks: 10% donation
  • Shutterfly: 3.5% donation
  • Southwest Airlines: 2.5% donation
  • VistaPrint: 9% donation
  • Expedia: 1% donation
These are just SOME of the many stores that are part of the Box Tops Marketplace. Make sure that you go through the Box Tops Marketplace to make your purchases, because otherwise your purchase will not be counted. Some sites (like Barnes & Nobles) will actually say "Welcome Box Top Shoppers" so you can be sure that your purchase will go towards your school.

I made a purchase through the Box Tops website at Barnes and Nobles, and the process was simple and hassle-free. No clipping or anything else that I have to send back - 6% of my purchase will automatically be credited to my school's account in 2 months. Any purchase made before the end of the month will be posted by 1/15, and any purchases made before the end of the year will be posted by 2/15 (generally a 2 month delay). There are also exclusive coupons that are available through the Marketplace, so be sure to check them out. I was able to use a 15% off coupon code that I found through the Marketplace.
