Family Board Games Just Got More Fun with Bill Me Later! (A Huge Chance to Win!)

261x187: Use 11/25-12/8


******* Congrats to Cindy (WindyCindy), who will be receiving the $250 Drugstore.com gift card AND a $500 donation to her local children's hospital! We hope you have fun spending that money, Cindy!


We are board game junkies at my house. Sadly, with all the age ranges that we contend with (tweens, elementary, preschool, and toddlers), it can be hard to get everyone together playing one fun game. That’s why we found it best to have an assortment of high-quality, entertaining, and educational games on hand. We have even converted one of our pantry cabinets into a board game storage unit!


Each season brings even more fun games to buy and play. What would the holiday dinner at Grandma’s be without them? We love games from big companies and those made by small makers. They just have to be fun.


Thanks to an exciting promotion that Bill Me Later is having, you can also have the chance to stock your board game cupboards (or buy a cupboard, if you don’t have one.) What’s the scoop? You’re gonna love it!


On December 8, Bill Me Later is hosting “Toy Tuesday”. Visit Toy Tuesday to find great deals on the holiday’s most wanted toys and gifts from leading retailers such as Toys “R” Us, Walmart.com, Step 2, Little Tikes, eToys, drugstore.com, FAO Schwarz, HP, Overstock.com, MacMall, Mercantila and more.


Not only can you choose to shop great online stores for the best deals on board games, you can enter to win a $250 gift certificate from drugstore.com AND a $500 donation to a local charity of your choice!!


Wanna Win? To celebrate Toy Tuesday, and be entered to win the $250 prize and charity component, you just need to comment on this post with your favorite board game to play with family or friends. It’s that easy! This giveaway is happening for today ONLY, so get going. (And remember that tomorrow is another chance to win at GoodNCrazy.)


Giveaway is subject to Bill Me Later’s official rules. (Be sure to give us a way to reach you if you win, and remember that we will never use your email or contact info for anything other than to send your prize.) Good luck, and be sure to check out all of our other giveaways!


Good luck, happy shopping, and don’t forget to visit Carissa over at GoodNCrazy for tomorrow’s chance to win!


*Bill Me Later gave me a gift card to thank me for my participation in this promotion.

We love to play Scrabble when we visit family out of state. We set it up after the little one goes to bed so she doesn't send all the tiles flying everywhere! Our 8 year old is getting into it too which is great.

Doty Family said...

Hmmm, at this point in my life, we love candyland, jumpin' monkey's and my boys love battleship. Although, they don't really know how to play, but they have fun around the million pieces and that is what matters.

Funny, because I was just thinking about this today, how my family and I love the game Rummikub! It's hard to find anymore, and our old game is so beat up with some pieces missing, but it's still in the toy closet because I can't bear to throw it out. If I win this, that is definitely one of the games I'll get !!
