This post brought to you by Gift Card Weekend. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hey ladies - want to win a $20 gift card to Sephora? Well, you're in luck because 'Gilbert the Gift Card Machine' is giving away more than 100 gift cards a week between now and Jan. 6! (I don't generally post this much about giveaways, but during the holidays who couldn't use the extra cash?)

It's really easy to enter:

- "like" Gift Card Weekend on Facebook and you will be automatically entered.

- For every friend you influence to "like" the Facebook page, you will get an extra entry.

Why are they giving away these gift cards? Because they want to spread the news about Gift Card Weekend, a really cool way to make your gift cards go even further. The once-a-year event is a time when participating retail partners have featured offers for gift cards redeemed between January 6-8, 2012. So essentially you can increase the value of your gift by purchasing gift cards from these retail partners and then redeeming the card during Gift Card Weekend. Participating companies include JcPenney, Regal Cinema, Subway, Sephora, Applebee's, Bass Pro Shops, Adidas, Buca di Beppo, Lowe's, Spa Finder, Marriott and Giant Eagle.

Do you guys tend to buy a lot of gift cards during the holidays? I'm a huge fan of the both giving and receiving them myself! They are easy to ship and perfect for the hard-to-buy for person - do you agree?
