We’re getting down to the wire, Christmas-wise. Would a $25 Amazon card help?
Even if you couldn’t get the gift shipped by Dec. 25, you could wrap up a “watch this space” card and promise to hand over the present as soon as it arrives.
Or maybe it’ll be a Christmas miracle and the gift will arrive on time. You won’t know unless you try.
Maybe you’ve already finished your shopping, or perhaps you don’t do holiday gifts. That $25 card could still come in handy for:
- Something you want or need
- A gift for a babysitter, teacher or friend
- Some charitable cause you support
- Diapers or socks or some other useful item being shipped to a local shelter
While it’s true that $25 doesn’t go far these days, it would still be $25 more than you had when you started reading this.

Whether early or late, a $25 gift card would make a great gift. Thanks for the opportunity, and happy holidays to you & your family!
Yet again, our generous awesome host shares another giveaway. It’s been fun following for so many years, not only bc of the giveaways but also the various interesting things you’ve shared including the moose sightings, great frugal ideas, tips, and of course recipes and whatnot. You never fail to entertain and/or inform. Thanks for that.
Awww, thanks.
Who won?
Carolina won. I generally announce the winners on the Surviving and Thriving Facebook page.
I would use the Amazon card to order something special for my dear friend, my BFF Marion who has to endure a bunch of chemo this autumn and before that so much radiation therapy, and a bone marrow transplant. I just want to get something to show her she’s loved and to help her feel pampered bc she never buys anything for herself. Ever the selfless lady. Xo

If I won’t the gift card, I would put it towards a birthday gift for my 84 Year old mother.
Thanks again for the chance, and I hope you and DF have a wonderful holiday season!
Awesome give!
I’m done with my shopping so I would use the card for some household supplies.

I add my thanks to everyone else’s for another generous giveaway. And happy holidays to you, your DF, your daughter, and all your families.
I follow you via email. And I used to follow you on X (Twitter) until you-know-who went completely over the edge and I deactivated my account.
If I won the gift card I would use it towards buying an outdoor wireless camera for my shed. Would be interesting to see the animal visitors who come around at night and deter any unwanted human visitors! lol
Another generous giveaway! Merry Christmas to you and DF!

How wonderful to offer another opportunity for a gift card. If I win, I will put it towards my local animal shelter Amazon wish list. They are a no kill, that is has I gotten alarming full as people either move or just can’t care for their pets. It’s extremely sad. During the pandemic, when they couldn’t let people in, I’m would order anything I could afford to help.
Follow you via email .
Wishing you and DF a Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New Year!
Feliz Navidad Donna. I subscribe by email. At age 79 I am about to become the guardian and permanent surrogate mom to my teenage grandson so the $25 gift certificate would come in handy to buy him snacks or sox or whatever he needs. He arrives from the west coast on 12/21. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thanks for this giveaway, Donna! It would certainly come in handy this time of year. I would give this directly to my nephew, who at the moment is in between jobs and could really use a little extra help. I follow you through Facebook and through email. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year!
Thanks again and a very Merry Christmas to you and DF and your daughter and Niece and all the family!

This would be awesome to win! Would come in very handy for supplies!! Merry Christmas to you Donna, love the holiday spirit!
I get your emails. I think I would give this to our local animal shelter as they always buy things from Amazon. Thanks so much for all the information you give us. I always read your MoneyTalk articles too!
I love that you do these giveaways, I think most people could find a use for this.
I would use to get an emergency solar power/crank radio I’ve been wanting to put in my emergency kit.
I’m getting a baby great niece in March. This would be used to help pay for her baby present or a gift for her mom.

An Amazon gift card of this amount is such a lovely thing to do at this time of year.

Hi Donna, I just wanted to wish you and your family a happy holiday season. If the random generator lands on me, just give it another spin: I’ve won things a couple times over the years (movie gift cards, and a nifty calendar of the Alaskan Northern Lights of 2022 that I really loved) I appreciate all your great frugal hacks over the years.

Thanks for the chance at winning a gift card. If I won I might splurge and pick out a new cookbook from amazon. Merry Christmas!
I follow you on Twitter!
I hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season!
I would use the card towards the “wish list” I have been saving items to for a year. They are not necessities but items that would be nice to treat myself to!
I subscribe via email.
I would give this to my middle son who is going through hell right now with his chronic illness.
Thank you, Donna. This is a wonderful treat!
I would probably use the gift card for a need, rather than a want. Sometimes it’s nice to have a gift card balance on Amazon for when an unexpected need pops up. (My last unexpected need from Amazon was a toilet flapper.)

Thank you, Donna. Merry Christmas!
I would use the card to get something for my daughter.
Thank you for the opportunity! I am a long time reader.
A gift card would be great. February birthdays coming. Thank you and happy holidays.
I folllow you via email. Merry Christmas!!
Your moose stories are so interesting!
I love hearing about what you do with “found” money and your gardening experiences.
A general comment is I am so not ready this year for Christmas. I do however NEED the time off.
I would use the GC on general making supplies!
Thank you for doing this.
I would give it to my grandson.
I follow you by email.
Thank you for the chance to win! I hope you and your family have a great holiday.
How is it already Dec 18th? That came up very fast. I hope you’re all squared away for the winter! Naturally, now is when I need to focus and simply cannot 😉
I might get a little selfish and gift myself a couple books with this BUT it’s much more likely that it’s going to go to our Lakota families in January 😉
Because you’re awesome.
Of course I still follow you on Twitter, though we’re more likely to meet on Bluesky these days.
Merry Christmas, Donna! What a nice way to end the year.
This would be a fun win. I enjoy your writing. Merry Christmas
Thank you, Donna for your insights and generosity!
Thank you.
