WALLET EMPTY? 💸
The holidays are expensive. We found a way to win some cash back before the New Year starts.
The “Holiday Hangover” Cure: Win A Gift Card Shopping Spree to Start 2026 Right
If you are anything like me, you are currently looking at your bank account through one eye, afraid to see the final damage from Christmas shopping.
December is the most magical time of the year, but it is also the most expensive. We spend weeks buying gifts for everyone else—kids, teachers, neighbors, the mailman—and by the time December 26th rolls around, our wallets are feeling a little light.
But what if you could end the year on a high note? What if you could snag a little “Me Money” right before the ball drops?
I just found a fantastic end-of-year giveaway from author Bill Hiatt that is perfect for recovering from the holiday spending spree.
This giveaway is running for the month of December 2025. You need to get your entries in before the New Year rings in!
1. Why We Love “Cash” Giveaways
Usually, I share giveaways for specific items like toys or kitchen gadgets. But Bill Hiatt is known for giving away what we all really want: Gift Cards.
Whether it’s an Amazon gift card to buy that thing you *actually* wanted but didn’t get, or just some extra credit to buy books for your new Kindle, this is the most flexible prize you can win. No shipping delays, no “out of stock” issues. Just pure shopping power.
2. How It Works (The “Gleam” Advantage)
This giveaway is hosted on a platform called Gleam. If you are a veteran Freebie Mom follower, you know I love Gleam.
Why? Because it rewards you for doing things you already do. You can get entries for simple actions like visiting a webpage, following an account, or just checking out a book cover. You don’t have to write an essay. You don’t have to film a TikTok dance. You just click, enter, and go.
3. The Rules (The Serious Stuff)
I always read the fine print so you don’t have to. Here is the lowdown on this specific giveaway:
- No Purchase Necessary: You do not need to buy anything to win. Buying stuff doesn’t even increase your odds.
- Fair Play: Don’t try to cheat with multiple emails or fake accounts. They track IP addresses, and if they catch you trying to game the system, they will disqualify you. Just play fair!
- The Prize: The sponsor (Bill Hiatt) guarantees the prizes will never be less than advertised.
4. Start 2026 With a Win
Imagine waking up on January 1st with an email saying you won. It sets the tone for the whole year! It takes less than 60 seconds to enter. Put down the leftover Christmas cookies, scroll down to the box below, and throw your name in the hat.
