Just a quick post to let you know about a sale on iTunes gift cards at Target. Rarely do gift cards go on sale. When they do, it’s time to stock up!

Save All Year Round

Unlike food storage or couponing where you buy products to save for a rainy day, buying discount gift cards is like creating a sale for future shopping. You might not need to download music or apps for another few months, but when you do, you’ll be paying less. (Plus a stock of gift cards doesn’t take up much space!)

Target In Store

I checked Target.com and the sale does not appear to be online. So you’ll have to venture into the store. I realize stores can offer different sales regionally, so if you see something different in your area – let me know.

Will You Use It?

• Upcoming birthday gifts
• New apps or songs you want to download yourself
• Last-minute gift you forgot to get (always good to have one handy)
• Graduation gift coming up
The beauty of iTunes gift cards is that you don’t need apple products to use them. Most everybody I know likes to download music to play on whatever device he or she has. And even the most shocking old school people I know…still like to get a handmade CD to play in the car. So take advantage of this deal and save all year round.

In honor of my dad, who really rocks...

Just out of high school, my dad started a band, cut a record, and signed a recording contract. After a little success and a few eye-opening experiences, he decided to go on a church mission and get his education instead.

Though his rock star days were short lived, he never stopped singing and playing the guitar at home. He often kicked off bedtime with a series of rock ‘n’ roll songs before ending with possibly the worst lullaby ever—“Old Shep” by Elvis. (The boy has to shoot his own dog. Are you kidding me Dad?)

In honor of my Dad and his sometimes poor song choices, we’re announcing the “My Pop Rocks!” Gift Card Giveaway for Father’s Day.

One winner, selected at random, will receive $60 in iTunes gift cards and a pack of Pop Rocks candy. You can take this idea, add a note telling dad why he rocks, and you’re all set for Father’s Day!

To enter this contest, leave a comment telling me why your pop rocks! And it doesn’t have to be music related. My pop also rocks because he taught me the value of hard work, how to make a lay-up, and got me interested in computers at a young age.

And don’t forget, we have other Father’s Day ideas on the site or you can take one of our birthday ideas for him and change the greeting.

Ok, answer the question! Why does your pop rock?

Legal Stuff: Contest open to continental US residents only. Contest ends Sunday, June 20^that midnight PST. Winner will be notified by e-mail. Be sure our e-mail address (shelley@giftcardgirlfriend.com) clears your spam filter. If winner doesn’t respond within one month, a runner-up will be chosen.
