This is a sponsored post with UPS and the Social Media Chicks. All opinions are my own.
Once upon a time, Chris and I made a decision not to have any children – well, aside from the one we already had! Throughout the years, having only one child has made our lives in easier in so many ways; shopping for one child during the Christmas season being one of them!
However, I’ve found as the years have passed, shopping for just one child isn’t all that much fun and I envy my friends who tell me about all of the cool new toys that they buy for their kids during the holiday season.
I have a bunch of nieces and nephews, and instead of buying them gift cards this year, I am making the most of the holiday shopping season and buying real physical gifts! I’ve been scouring the internet for the best deals and my UPS shipping notifications are going wild…it’s going to be an awesome Christmas! When it comes to holiday shipping, I rely on UPS because let’s face it, they’re affordable and RELIABLE! Unlike some other shipping services that shall not be named, I can ship a package with UPS and know that it will arrive on time – and the contents will still be in the box.
UPS knows how important shipping is during the holidays, because they aren’t just packages – they’re emotional connections between friends and families!

I really like UPS, they are so reliable. I have to save this page so I can enter the contest 🙂
I love them all when it comes to shipping but UPS has grown and they are the most technology driven so things get here faster and you can track better.
I could definitely use one of those gift cards! Thank you so much for sharing this.
What a fun contest! I have three boys so I love shopping for my nieces at Christmastime.
What a fun contest. I love UPS.
What a great and easy contest! I actually have two boxes almost ready to send out via UPS!
Well I ADORE pinterest and I pin all day. It is my stress relief. This should be easy enough for me to do!
A contest that has awesome prizes, with a respected company like UPS doing what I do normally “Pin” ining things I love. Count me in!!!
UPS just dropped by my house — literally 10 minutes ago! I don’t have much to ship this holiday but if I did is go with UPS for the shipping.
What a fun contest! I was on a gift card gifting phase a few years ago but now I love giving physical gifts more!
This looks like a really fun promo! I’d have a blast pinning all that I want.
My son literally changed so fast this summer. He started out a little boy and whoa now he is a teen! My head is still spinning. Already missing all the little things!
Thanks a bunch for the sweeps!
Hi Jennifer,
Oh my, I can’t imagine what life is like with only one child. We have five…
As a a product reviewer there are times we are on a first name basis with our UPS Delivery Driver. We love his dependably and everyone in our home is always happy to see him!.. (no, I promise the punch line isn’t that my husband is a UPS Driver, although, that would be funny.) Genuinely, we are happy when he arrives. The kids gather around excitedly, it is like Christmas Day when UPS arrives.
Such a great giveaway! I’m off to head over to Pinterest and create my board! Thanks for the heads up!

I want to win this 🙂 I mean who wouldn’t right?, those prizes are so useful to just about everyone.
Good for you! I tend to flip flop every year. Last year I bought gift cards for everyone and this year, I am personally buying gifts that I have spent time picking out. Mostly online. I am way more excited and into it this year plus having fun shopping while sticking within a budget.
I love UPS because they are reliable!
I totally love that you’re going against the grain and doing gifts instead of gc’s. You rock! I have got to enter this pin contest!
I love this contest. I am participating too!
I wish we had a UPS here in my little town! We get deliveries, but if I want to ship with them I have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest store 🙁
Oh this is such a great giveaway! Thanks so much for sharing, I need to go make my Pinterest board!
Great contest! I love speedy shipping, especially when you’re awaiting a very exciting package!
A good quality shipping company is very important. It is often the difference between being excited about a present and being disappointed it didn’t arrive.

Great prizes & I love Pinterest contests! With as frequently as I do business with UPS, I probably should enter this!
