    I did Swagbucks and My Points today. I also bought a Pantene gift package….same deal of Olay. I’m using my mom’s address for the rebate though, just in case it’s one per household.

    Thank you thank you thank you for this post! I’m going to go to walmart this weekend and see if I can score the makeup and the body wash. Those will be great gifts. And I’m going to order my mom the calendar! I’m on a super tight budget, like almost non existent because I lost my job. This will help with getting everyone else a little something! Thanks again!
