  1. Boy… what I couldn’t use that gift card for! I would love to splurge on some containers from the Container Store to help with organizing my pantry! Thanks for the chance! I’ve enjoyed reading this series.

  2. We just finished painting the DR and so I would probably use it for either artwork for the walls or new curtains.

  3. This AMEX gift card would come in so helpful when we move into our new apartment in a couple weeks. I would like to replace some of the bachelor pad prints and accessories with things that have a more feminine touch.

  4. hm…so many choices!! I could use it towards a lawn mower,
    I could use it towards a new front door. There are more ideas,
    but these two are the most important right now.

  5. Easy! My husband and I just moved out of our first apartment into our first home – I would use the gift card to decorate!

  6. I would use it to buy pillows from my favorites on Etsy. I keep adding more but can’t afford to buy any right now.

  7. I would use this money to start buying things for my daughter’s dorm room (her first year of college). A pretty comforter is first on the list and then a great lamp!

  8. It’s spring, so I would use it on some new plants for the backyard. We are going to do our first veggie garden this year!

  9. Ooo, this is great…I would give my home some curb appeal with beautiful landscape and outdoor accessories, thanks!

  10. I would use the card to buy some flowers for the house, and I would honestly buy some and give them away to someone less fortunate. Flowers always brighten up a widows heart. 🙂

  11. I would use it to help buy all the craft supplies I need, for the million and one DIY projects I have planned for our wedding in June! 🙂

  12. I really need to change out one of the rooms upstairs to make it more grandbaby-friendly. There are 5 of them now! I have so many ideas for their visits it will be nice to have all the resources in one room instead of running hither-and-yon when they come to visit.

  13. What an awesome giveaway!! I’d buy paint. We are going to be fixing our cracked peeling ceilings and then repaint the walls in our family room and hallway. I’m ready for a new look in this room!

  14. Oh my goodness so many things I could do with this. I’d would use it towards redoing my boys bathroom. It needs some help!

  15. I really want to do some kitchen organizing especially in the pantry so that’s what I would use my AMEX gift card for

  16. I’m following Apartment Guide on Twitter under irishgalkelly. Thanks for the chance to win!

  17. I’d use this gift card to buy some post-pregnancy clothes! I have no clue what I’m going to wear come the end of April! Hope you can get a lot done on your porch. Flowers and herbs sound wonderful 🙂

    P.S. I commented that I follow Apartment Guide on Twitter, but for got to add my username. I tried to reply to my comment to add it, but it entered it as a separate comment!:( I’m sorry! I tried to do it correctly! Didn’t want you to think I was trying to squeeze in an additional entry!:(

  19. What a great prize. I would use it to buy the supplies for my veggie garden in pots. I rent & the dirt here is not good. I get great morning sun on the front porch for this.

  20. With new baby due in 3 weeks, I would most likely use it for any baby things we might need, or maybe to buy some fun things for the kids to do outside. (We have been wanting to buy them a swing set, but just can’t afford it).

  21. I like Apartment Guide on fb as Laura Royal

  39. We have an empty bed that needs dressing up with color!
    You go in sections when you have a new house.

  40. I would either buy some flowers or bushes to replace the ones we pulled out of our one flowerbed. Or I may buy some paint to repaint my dining room. 🙂
    Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

  41. AGH! SO many things I would like to do. I would either put it toward making a gaming room in the basement for the kids or a wood porch/deck outside. I was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest 🙂

  42. I would love to win an amex gift card! We are having a baby and due in May. So the gift card would go to good use on something for the baby, well, probably diapers! haha! Thank you for this opportunity!

  45. i would spend it on making new drapes for the family room….or for outside stuff to spruce up the yard. 🙂

  46. I’m always looking for great ideas for the smaller home that we purchased. A $100 gift card from Amex would help out those purchases.

  47. So many things are on my list! I’d start with ome see-through storage boxes for my closet, then some baskets to organize CDs and DVDs, then some bedding plants. It would definitely be put to good use!

  52. I would buy Annie Sloan’s chalk paint so that I could give new life to several pieces of furniture that I got for free!

  54. I would use it to pay the tuition deposit for my oldest child, who is heading off to college next fall.

  55. I would use it towards buying bedroom furniture. Hubby is in the Air force and we got married and drove across the country to where he was stationed with only what would fit into his small cavalier. And since then (4 years) we have slowly added on piece by piece but we have yet to get anything for our bedroom besides a mattress, which for 4 years has just been sitting on the floor. So our next to do is finally getting an actual bed and decorating a place just for us.

  56. I’m newly retired and what does every retired person say they are going to do? Clean out the closets! I would use the gift card for some closet organizers to help me get this (daunting) project done!

  57. We have no local organic markets and I’ve been reading and looking at starting our own garden. I’d purchase the materials with that.

  58. Oh my, what would I use it for? Not sure. Probably something to brighten up my surroundings for spring. Maybe plants, maybe something new for the kitchen or some nifty containers for storage.

  62. I would love to add this to our outside fund. We have been trying to save for patio furniture!

  63. Three Weeks ago tomorrow my daughters boyfriend of about three years was in a bad dirt bike accident. He was air lifted to a major trauma center where he remains in icu. He is slowly healing but has sustained permanent injury that will change how he lives his life forever. The cost of parking in just these last 20 said has topped $250. I definitely would use this to continue to pay for parking costs so my daughter can be there for him while he continues his fight to heal.

  64. We are pregnant for the 2nd time but have no maternity insurance coverage, so this would definitely go towards prenatal doctor’s visits!

  89. I’d put half into my gas tank and use the other half for something fun because it’s a wonderful gift.

  90. It would be perfect timing for buying my son new baseball cleats! Thanks for the chance!

  91. My son’s spring break is this week and I’d love to be able to take him to play putt-putt golf!

  96. i would use the amex card towards purchasing a new rug for my family room! thanks for the opportunity!

  97. If I one the $100 AmEx card, I would use it for sprucing up the backyard. We desperately need to try to plant some grass back there. We have two huge trees and whatever variety of grass is currently planted back there does not like shade. 🙂

  98. I would love to redo the big, comfy, chair where I snuggled with both of my babies. (The firstborn will be leaving for college this fall!) The floral fabric is very dated but the chair is such a sweet reminder of some very precious times.

  99. My 4 year old twins need new summer clothes!!! I could get both of them a summr wardrobe with $100.00!!

  100. Annuals, mulch and maybe a new shrub for my backyard; I’ve got the spring fever planting itch.

    Since I am recovering from back surgery, I have to spend a lot of time in a recliner, (even sleeping) . I turn my recliner to face the backyard and have several windows overlooking it.

    Fresh flowers would add so much joy to my recovery time.
    Thanks!

  102. I would be excited to use this for our upcoming anniversary, we’re hoping to get away this year since it’s been a long time since we last did so. 🙂 Love the floral picture at the top of this post!! Springtime is wonderful! 🙂

  103. Honestly, if I win it will probably go toward groceries or gas. I’d love for it to go toward some new clothes, but the other is perhaps more important in life.

    Thanks for doing the giveaway!
