Sears Helps Me Grant a Wish for Habitat for Humanity

This is a sponsored post for Sears via my relationship with IZEA. The opinions are my own.
I am a huge fan of tools, some people might even say I have a bit of an addiction. When I found out that Sears was giving me a $500 gift card to grant a wish for anyone I like, one word came to mind… CRAFTSMAN. When I started to remodel my house I bought a ton of Craftsman tools and a Craftsman workbench (which is built like a tank). My sisters and I recently bought my father a really nice Craftsman toolbox for his birthday; we share the same addiction.

Five hundred dollars can buy a lot of tools. I was totally fired up. I started researching Sears and their current Don’t Just Give a Gift, Grant a Wish campaign further and I came across a video from Ty Pennington, star of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Ty told a short story about a hammer he received as a gift from his father. There are a bunch of other stories from people like Trisha Yearwood, LL Cool J and Vanessa Hudgens on Youtube.

Ty’s video got me thinking about all the great things he has done for those in need. He inspires me to be a better person; to give back. I decided to take the $500 gift card to grant a wish not for myself or a loved one, but for a charity.

New Craftsman Tools for Habitat for Humanity

I am a supporter of the Orlando area Habitat for Humanity and I am so happy to be able to keep contributing. They are a fantastic organization that helps people in our local community get the affordable housing they so desperately need. Habitat doesn’t do handouts. Each family is required to invest hundreds of hours in both classroom education and sweat equity in order to understand, appreciate and promote long-term home ownership.

I love shopping for tools, but it feels even better when you are doing it for a cause you believe in. I had an absolute blast at Sears; I was like a kid in a candy store.

I considered buying everything from a 12″ sliding compound miter saw, to a 15in Drill Press (both items I personally want), but in the end I decided to be more practical. I bought an assortment of smaller Craftsman tools, along with a mac daddy 19.2 volt 6 piece cordless combo kit. This thing has a drill, trim saw, reciprocating saw, jig saw, RA drill and a fluorescent light. The trim saw even has a laser guide. [Drooooooolll.] I went about $70 over my a gift card, but I was happy to chip in the extra money.

Craftsman Tools

I can’t wait to drop all of this stuff off at Habitat for Humanity later this week. It will be a second dose of feel good. You can see more pics here.

Let Me Grant Your Wish

In addition to the $500 gift card Sears gave me for my wish I have another $500 to spend on wishes for my readers. This whole Don’t Just Give a Gift, Grant a Wish concept is very cool. I have put together three wish packages below:

Tool Addict
Includes the same 6 piece cordless combo I bought in the picture above plus a 260 pc. Mechanics Tool Set with 3 Drawer Chest. If you win this I will be totally jealous and may ask to come over and build something.

Technerdia
Garmin Nuvi 250w
and an orange 16GB Apple iPod Nano. I have both of these products and love them. You can fight me on the orange color if you win.

Shapeshifter
Ready to loose that chunky butt? How about winning this Schwinn SR23 Recumbent Bike. Set it up in front of your television and you can drop the pounds while watching Dr. Phil.

    We have an old house that my husband is constantly fighting with to maintain. It seems like something is always breaking down or needing to be replaced. He has worn out his cordless drill and has been wanting to replace it for months, but of course something more pressing always comes up to spend money on. The TOOL ADDICT set would be perfect for him!

  2. BenSpark said on December 15th, 2008 at 8:33 am

    Facebooked, Del.icio.us,Stumbled, and Dugg. Sir! I really want the word out on this one!

  3. Nate said on December 15th, 2008 at 8:48 am

    RT’ed this as well. I think these holiday promotions are really great and an awesome way for people to give to those individuals or groups that they value but don’t have the means to.

    I’d love the technerdia package if I win so I can replace a broken iPod for a friend and give my Dad the Garmin so he and my mother don’t get lost driving around New Englands to watch my brother’s track meets.

  4. Ted Murphy said on December 15th, 2008 at 8:56 am

    @Nate:
    I know the broken iPod routine. Tara once washed and dried my iPod, apparently they are not water/shock proof.

  5. corrin said on December 15th, 2008 at 9:00 am

    I totally need the bike! This Chicago winter is shaping up to be nasty, and my daily walks have fallen by the wayside!

  6. jon burg said on December 15th, 2008 at 9:04 am

    It’s been a while since I said I longed for anything orange, but a free ipod sounds great! Put me in for Technerdia!

  7. Kari said on December 15th, 2008 at 9:38 am

    What a great concept from Sears. I’d love to win the Technerdia package!

    Hello Ted:

    I’d love to win the Shapeshifter to help me recover from a knee injury so I can get back to mambo dancing. I’d invite my aged father, and my sisters over for sessions too. We could all use some shapeshifting.

    I’d love to win the Shapeshifter to grant my best friend’s wish. She would really love to have one of these!

  17. Kelito said on December 15th, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    What a great promotion and way to give back! Id take any of the three packaged deals. I could give any of the packages to people in my life who would be thankful but I personally would get most use out of the bike, whip me right into shape but Id be watching either LOST, Mad Men or reality TV show, Phil’s just not my style ;-)

  18. Karen said on December 15th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

    Technerdia package for my husband. He could certainly use both since he travels a lot in his car for work.

  19. Shannan P said on December 15th, 2008 at 7:11 pm

    I’d love to win the tool addict package for my hubby. It would make his whole year!

  20. Sheri Whittington said on December 15th, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    I think this is a great concept, test, and contest. The technerdia package would be terrific.

  21. Laurie said on December 15th, 2008 at 8:52 pm

    Ok, This is my first trip to the lashin’ station. I came here cause you have the best packages to wish for. My hub would drool from his lasher over the tool addict wish so I will wish for that cause when my lasher is happy, I am happy.

  22. Sarah said on December 15th, 2008 at 11:28 pm

    First off, I have to say your pictures are priceless, and you made me giggle. I’ll have to put in my entry to be considered for the technerdia. Thanks, and have a happy holiday season.

  25. Carol Pyles said on December 16th, 2008 at 6:21 am

    My husband and I are always low on funds so when it comes to doing any project around our house it is done half as well as it should be done because we never have the tools we need. So the TOOL ADDICT package would be great.

    I also tweeted (rose3694)

  26. Vickie Couturier said on December 16th, 2008 at 6:37 am

    I like the Technerdia package, we are traveling 1200 miles next month to see our new grandson born this morning!

  27. Jfoust said on December 16th, 2008 at 8:02 am

    I love how Sears is about helping other people.
    My dad is also a superhuge CRAFTSMAN fan.
    I think all he owns is made by craftsman.

  28. MLDina said on December 16th, 2008 at 8:24 am

    You are too funny! I’d love to help out next time you made a trip to Habitat for Humanity. I’m not very tool or building savvy, but maybe I can hand out coffee? Looks like some pretty exciting gift packages you’re giving away, too!

  29. MRS.MOMMYY said on December 16th, 2008 at 8:46 am

    chunky but huh..well the tools look cool to me- I am addicted to buying tools too-

  30. cady said on December 16th, 2008 at 9:07 am

    i would love the shapeshifter package.

  31. lenny said on December 16th, 2008 at 9:28 am

    Why hasn’t Apple come up with a waterproof Ipod. If you are gonna make them so tiny ….. well you understand.
    I would love the technerdia package. I could give the I pod to my nephew( I haven’t washed mine yet) and the GPS would be perfect for me.

  32. Kenna Rogers said on December 16th, 2008 at 10:40 am

    I would enjoy the Tools Package myself! Thanks for sharing!

  33. Brandice said on December 16th, 2008 at 10:50 am

    I’d like the shapeshifter, it’d be fun for rainy days. Who am I kidding! I want to watch TV while I bike.

    I blogged about it http://yourethebossbrandice.com/2008/12/i-entered-them-all/

  34. Jean D. said on December 16th, 2008 at 11:37 am

    Generous giveaway! I’d love the Sears technerdia package.

    Thanks!

  35. Sue said on December 16th, 2008 at 11:57 am

    This is such a neat giveaway! I would totally go for the Technerdia because my daughter really wants an ipod but I cant afford one this year and I get lost if I leave my own neighborhood! Thank you

  36. Michelle said on December 16th, 2008 at 12:08 pm

    I’m going with the Technerdia package…I could get lost in a box and covet a gps.

    Great packages but I would rather help out my non-profit if granted a gift card.
    In my spare time I coordinate the Ms Wheelchair Massachusetts program, a small non-profit organization that selects titleholder each year to advocate and educate about issues facing women with disabilities. At each pageant the new titleholder and the other contestants receive gift bags of donated items from local merchants and things I can find in the dollar bins at stores.
    If I were to win a $500 gift card from Sears, I would make the gift bag for Ms Wheelchair Massachusetts 2009 something extra special.

    I would start with American Tourister 7 pc luggage Set, Sears item# 01455034000. This year’s winner will be traveling to Rapid City South Dakota to compete in the Ms. Wheelchair America pageant.

    Of course what is a titleholder without bling…
    I would also purchase 14k White Gold Crown Charm Sears item# 04486849000 44.99
    And the 1/10 ct. tw.* Diamond Crown Pendant in White Gold Sears item #04427951000 for 119.99

    Every woman has her own taste but think that D’Albert Long Beaded V-Neck Gown Sears item # 03112452012 for $129.99 would be particularly stunning during the crowning Gala at the Ms. Wheelchair America Pageant

  39. Lisa said on December 16th, 2008 at 1:04 pm

    Tool Addict - How great! A Contest at Christmas Time!

  40. Jade said on December 16th, 2008 at 1:58 pm

    I’m drooling over just the idea of Technerdia! I’ve been trying to save for a GPS for over a year now but every time I get close someone gets sick or I lose hours at work and silly things like groceries dip into my GPS savings! I’m set on the iPod though so I think I might donate it if I were to get that.

  41. Debra B said on December 16th, 2008 at 5:30 pm

    I would choose the Technerdia package, I could really use a GPS, might help me from getting lost so much , Thanks for hosting this super fantastic giveaway, Merry Christmas and GLTA

  42. Stephanie V said on December 16th, 2008 at 6:03 pm

    wow - my family really needs a new digital camera to capture good pics of the kids so would love Nikon 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera / D60 - Sears item #00353118000 (yes, I know it is $550 so would pay the difference myself) fingers crossed!

  43. DEBIJOT said on December 16th, 2008 at 6:36 pm

    I would love the Technerdia package. The GPS for my husband and the Ipod for my son. Thank you for the chance to gift my loved ones this year. Merry Christmas.

  44. Kendra said on December 16th, 2008 at 8:29 pm

    o the tool addict for my son who is starting mechanics !!

  45. Melinda Mays said on December 16th, 2008 at 9:22 pm

    I love the holidays and helping others too. Please grant my wish by helping me grant one to my sister. She and her kids have been homeless since March and are moving into their own lace tomorrow, with a whole lot of nothing. I’d love to get them a dining room set, Sears item # 00891254000. Love your generosity and Sears’ commitment to helping others. I was once a member of the Home Improvement HQ office and think very highly of the charitable contributions made by the company. It makes me proud!

    thx

  53. Brian said on December 17th, 2008 at 3:17 am

    I’d love to win the tools, kinda for myself but really for my church. Seeing as i do alot of the work around there, it would be nice not to have to lug my own tools around because there would now be a set already there. Perhaps it would inspire more volunteers. Yeah, you’re right, probably not. Just more people would stop by to see me using the new tools we won.

  54. Laura Harrison said on December 17th, 2008 at 4:11 am

  126. Jessica said on December 17th, 2008 at 1:37 pm

    First, let me say how awesome it is that you gave to Habitat for Humanity! I’m sure they appreciated everything. Second, I’m going to be greedy and ask to be in the Shapeshifter category. My husband and I always give a lot each Christmas and put ourselves last. We both have discussed the need for some sort of machine at home. He works incredibly long hours and I work full time, as well as go to college full time. There’s simply no time to drive to the gym. As we both struggle with our weight, this machine would be such a blessing to us both.

  127. Erica said on December 17th, 2008 at 1:52 pm

    Would love the Tool Addict package for my husband.

  128. Cindy said on December 17th, 2008 at 2:01 pm

    Like you I love tools. But not like you, with 3 kids, money is always tight. Would love to win the tool addict. Just think another dose of feel good for ya knowing it is going to a good home and will see plenty of use.

  131. Content Pig said on December 17th, 2008 at 2:13 pm

    Wow…. Awesome Packages. I imagine it took you all day to compile the gift sets. Since I can only choose one I would go with the Tool Addict PACKAGE. For Sure…. Thank you for the chance of winning.

  132. Betty N said on December 17th, 2008 at 2:22 pm

    The Techerdia package would be good. I have been wanting to get a GPS for my husband and all my grandkids want a nano!

  133. Michelle said on December 17th, 2008 at 2:25 pm

    Not only is this the coolest idea! Its sure welcome with the economy the way it is. I know I sure could use it! Unemployment suck and has hurt our Christmas and many people I know. I was once given a gift similar but have yet to be able to return the favor as I have not been able to afford it. A couple yrs back someone left a huge box of gifts on my front door for Christmas and to this day I haven’t the slightest clue who did it. I wish I could do the same for someone. As I know how it big of a smile it can bring to one during these times.

  134. Jennifer B. said on December 17th, 2008 at 2:29 pm

    I am going to do a bit of changing to your Shapeshifter gift… I would love to get an eliptical machine to help shift my shape, and hopefully lower my hubby’s blood pressure…. oops… don’t ever tell him that I could have won him a bunch of Craftsman Tools…

    oh forgot to tell you which package would want. honestly I love all of them but i would probably get more use out of number 2 technerdia, However, I would be up for any of them as I’d gift it out to someone else.

  136. Phyllis said on December 17th, 2008 at 2:30 pm

    I would love the tool addict for my wonderful husband. This is something he would absolutely love.

    I’ve been ‘wishing’ for stuff for my kids, but you’ve got the goods for me and the Mister - I vote for the chance to score the ‘technerdia’ package - the GPS for him, and the iPod for me.

    Tool Addict would be awesome! I’m an Automotive Technician for a living and lacking in tools, usually get a few items here and there that I need up when the Snap on or Mac guy shows up but it gets expensive.

    ($124.44 per tire)

  236. Jennifer Short said on December 19th, 2008 at 5:37 am

    Nice choices, but a snow thrower would be most practical for the amount of snow we get!

    Habitat For Humanity is a great cause. Kudos to you, and to Sears, for helping them out this holiday season. I would like to enter for the Technerdia prize package. I always allow extra travel time because even with my mapquest directions, I invariably wind up lost at some point. Perhaps the Garmin will guide me on my journey through life. My brother has been wanting an MP3 player for ages, so the Ipod Nano will be a terrific surprise for him. Thank you for the opportunity to win. Happy holidays!

  412. Bianca said on December 23rd, 2008 at 9:29 am

    Hey Ted. I think this is a great thing that you’re doing. I truly hope that whomever wins this contest will want to give back also. I know that I haven’t even won but I’m just observing and reading and it makes me want to dedicate my time to the less fortunate this holiday season. I hope many feel the same!

    I’ve made my own Sears package:
    Stamina Products SpaceMate Folding Stepper
    Sears item# 00638510000 Mfr. model# 40-0069

    1205 Precision Rower
    Sears item# 00611142000 Mfr. model# 35-1205

    After losing my best friend about 2 years ago, I hit rock bottom (along with my boyfriend) and gained weight from it. I used to be such a self confident young woman and now, a lot has changed. As soon as I get this weight off that has been a burden, I will donate my equipment or sell it and donate the money from it. Good luck to all and happy holidays.

    Ps. Check out the twitter :D

    I’m not a tool addict, but hubby is, so I would choose the Tool Addict package. He would love this! Thanks for having the great contest and Happy Holidays to all!

    Technerdia! My husband calls me his GPS because without me he’d be lost while driving. I’d love for him to have a navigation system.

    The Shapeshifter package makes the most since for me and my husband. We’ll have to find someplace to put it, but as long as we actually use it, it would make a big difference in our health and fitness — as in how we fit into our clothes!
