Borders sells a huge selection of toys and games. You’re going to find your favorite educational brands, and lots of favorite characters and games in the expanded Borders Toys & Games section in over 500 stores. I was blown away by the huge selection, and spent several hours browsing all the toys and games trying to decide what to spend the $100 gift card on that Borders gave me as part of sponsoring this giveaway. Two lucky readers will win a $100 Borders Gift Card. You need to live close enough to a Borders store to be able to pick-up your gift card if you win!

What did I purchase?I was a little worried I might have a hard time spending $100 on toys and games at Borders. But the selection was so diverse and they featured some of my favorite toy brands (like Melissa & Doug, Battat, Creativity for Kids, Chicco and ALEX toys), so I had no problem finding excellent educational toys and games for my kids. I spent almost exactly $100 and I bought: Battat Take-A-Part Airplane, Melissa & Doug Responsibility Magnetic Chart, Melissa & Doug Magnetic Calendar, Frog & Toad Adventure Game, Thomas Making Tracks Game, Chimp and Zee Pesky Pirates Game and then a few small toys; diving toys, recorder plus a children’s book to donate to a local charity. You can purchase a book to donate at your store in the nationwide Borders Charity Book Drive, just ask the cashier about it!

Key to Saving at BordersI found that Borders prices on toys and games was similar to prices at other retailers. But Borders offers high-value coupons and promotions which give you huge savings! If I would have purchased these toys without the advantage of the Borders promotions and coupons, they would have cost me over $150. So by using a 30% off one item coupon, understanding that if I bought 2 toys I’d get the 3rd one for free, and buying two Melissa & Doug toys at “Purchase 1 Get 1 Half-Off”, I got everything for about 33% off the sticker cost. That’s a excellent sale on these toys and games, and hard to beat if you made the exact same purchase at another store. But that’s the other wonderful feature I noticed about the Borders toy and game selection - it’s not comparable to other stores I shop at. Sure I’d find a few of these products at other stores, but not all in the same place.

Melissa & DougBuy 1 Get 1 50% offYou’ve got until December 28 to walk into your local Borders and take advantage of the “Purchase 1 Get 1 50% Off” sale on all Melissa & Doug wooden toys and puzzles. I love this toy brand, and I love this sale! You really have to check out the Melissa & Doug toy and puzzle selection, because at my Borders store it was really impressive. See that photo I took on the left? Multiply that by four and that’s how numerous different Melissa & Doug products they carry! I was so excited to get the Magnetic Responsibility Chart for my kids, and then I had to get the Magnetic Calendar too because my 4-yr old loves to play with calendars and sing the “7 Days of the Week” song.
