{Now Closed} Adult Male Gift Challenge + American Express Giveaway

December 19, 2010 By: Briana Carter

The holiday season is here and many of us are scrambling to find the best gifts for our loved ones! Some people are easier to find gifts for than others. We also all have our own shopping styles!

These holiday shopping habits have inspired American Express to create the holiday gifting personality program. This helps you find your “holiday gifting personality” as well as provide tips on how to better manage your money and spend smarter during the holidays. I’m kind of finding I’m a shop for myself and a going overboard type of shopping personality!

In support of this program, American Express has challenged me to find the perfect holiday gifts for my family  using my Zync Membership Rewards points – 150,000! Of course, I was up for this challenge especially since it doesn’t involve going to any actual stores – especially since I hate to shop in actual stores! Ask my family, my attention span lasts maybe 2 hours!

Let’s say you have an adult man, maybe even a dad to shop for. One that is possibly really impossible to think of great gifts for. Hmmmm….if you are someone like that in my life, maybe you shouldn’t be reading this post! ;)

In my experience, buying for them gets easier and more difficult. Easier because they want less presents. Harder because they want more expensive presents!

There are more ways to use your American Express points than just by redeeming for items. You can also use it for travel, sporting events, towards your American Express charges, and more. You can see all the ways to redeem your points here.

The Handyman or Wann-a-be Handymans will love the Dewalt Drill Kit.

Sports fan will love the Sports Memorabilia selection. Too bad we already have a signed helmet of our favorite quarterback:

I love my Kindle and I’m guessing someone on your list who loves books will love a Kindle too:

Still have no clue? Use your points to purchase a American Express Gift Card and they can decide! Starting at 10,000 points.

American Express even has a holiday guide to help you spend your points and find the perfect gifts for your loved one!

It gets better yet, though! In the spirit of discovering how you all shop for holiday gifts, you’ll have a chance to win a $100 retail gift card courtesy of American Express! To enter, visit the American Express Facebook page and take the Gifting Quiz and discover your personality. Then let me know what type of gifter you are by including the result in the comments of this (and my other challenge posts). At the end of the contest, I’ll select one lucky reader (at random) to receive the gift card. It’s a simple as that!

How to Maximize Your Reward Points & Earn Efficiently

  1. Gift Cards start at just 1,000 points. Favorites like Gap, Old Navy, Bath & Body works are available starting at just 1,000 points.
  2. Save points with great deals on select rewards like electronics, travel, entertainment, home accessories, and new items are added on a regular basis.
  3. If you need something fast, choose reward certificates or gift cards, which can be delivered via email in 3 hours or less. Look for the “e-reward” logo below participating partners.
  4. Expedite Shipping with select partners such as Apple and Garmin for guaranteed 3 business day delivery for $10 additional charge.

    I’m a self-gifter. Based on the description AMEX gave me, I’d say the quiz crafter does not truly understan bargain hunting! If I see 2 for 1, they had better believe it is “one for me” and “one for them!”

    At least I’m not like Bugs Bunny. 1 for you. 1 for me. 2 for you. 1,2 for me. ….

    You’re a Self Gifter

    With all the great holiday sales this time of year, it’s easy to spend a small fortune on yourself while shopping for others. The trick is to resist getting yourself a gift by checking off everyone on your list first and then rewarding yourself for a job well done through the American Express Membership Rewards® program.

  52. Melissa S says

    December 21, 2010 at 12:47 am

    I am a Creative Gifter. A frugal one…but yes, yes I am.

  53. Tammy L says

    December 21, 2010 at 12:13 am

    I am a Creative Gifter. You’re the one who likes to create a one-of-a-kind gift for your friends and family. Look for ways to create a memorable experience for your loved ones this holiday without doubling the time and effort you tend to spend on gift giving each year……

    Yep, still a Creative Gifter.

    For those hard to shop for people? Think outside the box. Unusual gift ideas can come from unusual places like BBC America Shop or PBS catalog – there might be a special show or memorabilia they might like. Even something really different like a special puzzle from Bits and Pieces.

  78. Kaylan says

    December 20, 2010 at 3:48 pm

    You’re an Over Gifter

    Your generous spirit and desire to get something for everyone is one of the things people love about you. The challenge is that your generosity can sometimes get you in trouble if you don’t have a spending plan to keep that growing gift list in check. Take advantage of some great tools to help manage and track holiday spending like American Express® Money Manager.
