Recently Sears contacted me to share a sponsored post with you… and let me tell you that I ended up in tears after watching these videos, so get ready for a little tugging on your heartstrings. Sears is offering a new service that lets you order to any Sears in the country, so if you order for your niece that lives five hundred miles away, she can pick it up at her store. The best part is that they bring it out to you. Today they are giving away a $50 gift card to one of our readers so that they can try this themselves. Now lets get going on these videos, shall we?
Today I am going to share a few must-share videos with you, because they will touch your heart. Each of them is awesome in their own way!
1- BECAUSE YOU ARE AN AWESOME PARENT.
When I saw this video, I loved it and had to share it with you because it just goes to show you how a parent will do just about anything to make their kids feel loved. This mom was baking her daughters egg-less cake (her daughter is allergic to eggs) in the oven, when it broke. To finish her cake (instead of just saying “Sorry, Hun.”), she took it outside and baked it on the grill! I certainly would never have thought to do that! I love the idea!
Well, her other daughter shared the picture of the ‘grill-cake’ on Twitter and Sears saw it can came to help! At Sears you can always count on getting more…more value, more brands, more rewards and more ways to shop. To show the ways that they offer more, they are doing a new campaign called #MoreToYou and they are surprising people with awesome things!
So, Sears is finding tweets from people (like that mom), then going out and surprising them by helping, but they are capturing their reactions on camera (they are awesome). In each video, Sears is bringing their great products to these readers, using this in-vehicle pick-up that I was telling you about earlier. I just think its awesome because they are giving back to families- because parents do so much for their kids and love doing it! My husband and I are so blessed to have wonderful parents, and we are trying to be great parents, ourselves… (You can read about the 10 lessons that I learned from my mom here.)
So, back to the story/video. Amanda’s mom was given brand new Kenmore appliances by Sears and then a renowned pastry chef, Johnny Luzzini, came to teach them how to make a beautiful egg free cake (you can get the recipe by clicking on the icon in the video)
For over 100 years, the Kenmore brand consistently delivers performance innovations in smart and stylish appliances that help consumers do things quicker, easier and better. Plus, Sears is the exclusive retailer of Kenmore, the most awarded appliance brand in the industry, and understands customers’ wants and needs – to get more out of their home.
2- BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST DAD…
In this video, it really touched my heart because I know that my husband and dad would love this! What a great way to show her appreciation! I would LOVE to get the chance to do this for my husband and for my dad- I seriously can’t imagine the looks on their faces! ps- this one has a surprise ending!
watch it here.
Sneak peek: Amaalyah was stumped on what to get her dad for Father’s Day; but her visit to Searsrevealed dozens of options for her to choose from. From apparel and home goods to electronics and tools, Sears is the go-to gift destination no matter who you are shopping for this season.
3- BECAUSE YOU ARE MAKING IT AND DOING GREAT!
This one touched my heart because I know a lot of single moms and I can’t imagine how hard it would be. I honestly don’t know how you find the energy to do it all when you don’t have someone to turn to and I applaud you. Watch it here.
Ps- this one is also great if you have kids, because it lets you in on a tip about making shopping easier!
4- WHEN THEY GO TO COLLEGE
I am saving the best for last. I planned on only sharing three videos to show you what an awesome parent you are, but this one made me just tear up! I can not imagine the day when we send our sons and daughter to college. “Oh, Lord, let me enjoy these days while they are home with me, because I know that way-too-quickly, they will fly by!”
SEARS IS GIVING AWAY A $50 GIFT CARD TO ONE OF YOU!
JUST LEAVE A COMMENT OF WHICH VIDEO WAS YOUR FAVORITE ONE AND WE WILL PICK A WINNER IN A FEW DAYS!
Kristen says
I like the one about sending the son off to college.
nicole hodges says
I like the sending the son to college.
Stephanie Phelps says
Sending your child off to collage was my favorite because right now I can relate to the subject of letting go. You protect them,think for them and watch every mood and then one day you have to trust that you have done your job.
Cari says
I think my favorite was the single mom one, though the sending her son off to college was a close second. Having been a single mom, the single mom one touched closed to home. Right now, I am happily married and mom to 3 boys. Sending one off to college probably won’t happen for a few more years, but I can relate to having newborns that had extended stays in the hospital after birth (all three boys) and worrying about them as they grow. Love the commercials #Sear’s!
Thanh says
I liked #3 – the one about the single mom getting engaged!
Amy Orvin says
I loved the total mama’s boy – sending her son to college video.
Linda F. says
I like the video where the family surprises the hard working father with a garage filled with tools and they all teared up. It was touching and I can relate to a father giving and doing his all to support his family no matter what.

Me, too!

I like he #3- BECAUSE YOU ARE MAKING IT AND DOING GREAT!, love the tip of shopping online and picking it up at the store, the fact that they would take your order to your car makes things so much easier, specially when you have little ones.

🙂 I like # 3 too!
