Gift Giving made easy if you add Forza5 and M&M’s to the list #FueledbyMM

Gift Giving made easy if you add Forza5 and M&M’s to the list #FueledbyMM #shop

The days are getting shorter and our shopping list is getting longer. Will we get it all done is something I ask every day. It’s time to give my readers a helping hand so everyone can enjoy the holiday season without the hustle and bustle.

If you have Teen’s you know how hard they can be to shop for, fear no more. I found a super cool combination of gifts at my Walmart the other day and the best part; there is even a bonus promotion that will help you save some green when all you see is red.

Teens love snacks and Video games, so what better way than to combine the two and stuff their stockings or fill the tree? I grabbed a bag of the big Party Size M&M’s, currently for about $9 in store and the brand new Xbox One game Forza5.

The boys loved Forza4 and spend hours playing it. They kept telling me over and over that I’m the best mom by giving them Forza4. I turned it up a notch and now I’m going to be the best mom in the entire universe. The big bag of M&M’s along with the Xbox One Forza5 game will help me to get there. It really can’t be any easier then that.

All you have to do is get some cute goodie bags, fill them with the M&M’s, the big bag will go a long way and probably be enough for all your Teen’s in the house; wrap the game and put them under the tree. Voilà, you , too will be the BEST Mom ever!!

Awesome Deal …. You don’t want to miss this!!

Let me tell you a little about the promotion; if you buy both the FORZA5 game and the big bag of M&M’s.

  1. Buy Forza Motorsport 5 game AND Buy participating M&M’s products (+ Participating products include: M&Ms Peanut 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Milk 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut Butter 38oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Pretzel 30oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Milk 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Peanut Butter 18.4oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Pretzel 15.4oz Large Laydown Bag.) Total M&M purchase must be at least $8 for offer to work.
  2. Snap a photo of qualifying items on the receipt on your phone and text it to 811811. Include the code M&M with the picture of your receipt. Game and M&M’s must be purchased on the same receipt.
  3. Redeem:  You will receive a text back with a reward code valid for a $10 eGift card to Walmart.

Simple as 1, 2, 3 and you will get $10 back from this purchase. Love deals like that. If you like, you can also use the Gift Card as another gift for your teen. How sweet would that be? Or… Just grab another treat for yourself. For more information about this deal, click HERE.

    My 12 year old is pleading his case really bad for an xbox, but it just isn’t in the budget this year! This game is almost making me reconsider it, though, because that is right up his alley! I can see it now… my son playing this while my daughter eats the M&M’s!

    I totally wrapped several of the gifts I’m giving this year in that same wrapping paper! 😉 My husband recently purchased Forza 5 and has been absolutely obsessed with it for the past couple of weeks. He isn’t normally a huge gamer, but he has logged in so many hours in front of the TV that it’s actually kind of embarrassing. lol
