Have You Heard Of GoWallet??

Have you ever received a gift card for a present and ended misplacing it or losing it? I came across this app and it makes losing or misplacing your gift cards impossible and not to mention a lot easier to use. It is an app called GoWallet. This app can be downloaded on your phone or you can visit the website at Gowallet.com.  

At GoWallet you can buy a gift card for someone and email it to them. Once you email their gift card they can upload their gift card right on their phone or print it out. All you have to do is show your phone to the cashier and he or she can scan the bar code right off the phone. It instantly takes the money off of the GoWallet gift card and you can check your balance right from your phone or computer. Sending gift cards in the mail can take time and sometimes they can get lost or stolen in the mail. This would be perfect for the holidays coming up. Also another plus about GoWallet you can buy a gift card that the stores near you do not offer.

They have many different kinds of gift cards such as; Buffalo Wild Wings, Home Depot, Southwest Airlines, Old Navy, and The Cheesecake Factory just to name a few.  This app is very user friendly and it is best used on an iPhone, Android or even your computer. Enter your cards and track the balances, buy cards through the app and even buy them and send to friends through the app. When buying a gift card just go into the “buy gift cards” section on GoWallet either on your phone or computer. The person who is receiving the eGift card can enter the gift card into GoWallet with just one click.  What a perfect idea!

A Little Holiday Reminder

The holidays are quickly approaching and sometimes a little reminder of the must-haves can really help.  We have found 10 items you shouldn’t forget to buy. We make lists for the things we need so we don’t forget anything, but as we all know, it never fails that we usually forget something. So you run back to the store to pick up the few things you forgot. Thinking you are all set, you start preparing and getting stuff ready for your guest. However, once again you realize you forgot something else. 

We are human and we forget things, but maybe a little reminder will help eliminate the many trips to the store. Although some of these items seem like common sense, they can easily slip your mind with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

1)             Twine and a heavy needle to sew up the turkey

2)             Ice

3)             Tin foil

4)             Containers to send home leftovers

5)             Corn starch

6)             Poultry seasonings

7)             Dish detergent

8)             Paper towels

10)          Toilet paper
