The other day I started to introduce you to the Sam’s Club Holidays Made Simple website and I’m excited to share some more thoughts about the other aspects of the site and program. It’s the perfect time to familiarize yourself with these great programs, services and offers before the holiday rush starts and it’s completely overwhelming.

Maybe I’m the only one whose head starts spinning when I hear “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” for the 348937th time, but I like to have a plan of action for holiday shopping. Otherwise it’s easy to go over budget, get over-stressed and just want to get it all over with. Let’s try to have a stress-free and fun holiday season this year, shall we?

So, let me introduce you to a few more ways that Sam’s Club is ready to help make that happen. In the next few weeks I’ll be going more into detail about each of the programs I mentioned yesterday (Deal of the Day and Food and Entertainment) as well as the ones I’m about to mention, but here’s a preview of what’s to come!

Everyone has that person in their life who either has everything already or is so picky and obnoxious that you dread trying to pick out a gift for them every year. While you may have one or two of those people in your life, I’m fortunate enough to have lots of them. Because of my anxiety trying to pick just the right gift, I am always on the lookout for a really good Gift Guide. Sam’s Club’s version is called Gifts Galore and it’s fantastic! Whether you want to search by price point (Gifts under $20, Gifts under $100, etc) or recipient (Gifts for Her, Gifts for Kids, etc) Gifts Galore is able to help. Check out the “More Joy for your Jingle” guide book for even more ideas and suggestions!

The Sam’s Club Holiday Helper section is your go-to place for all of your other holiday needs such as menu planning and recipes. In a lot of homes, after all of the gifts have been unwrapped it is then time to have a big holiday dinner. This year, let Sam’s help you find a wonderful holiday dinner that will leave your family content and leave your wallet full! Whether you choose to duplicate an entire menu, such as the Simply Elegant Holiday Cocktail Party, or you just choose a couple of new recipes to add to your legendary holiday menu, let Sam’s Club lend you an extra hand in the kitchen to make your life a little easier (and a little more fun, too!).

There’s so much more that I can’t wait to share with you all, but since I can’t, I’ll console myself with sponsoring another giveaway!
