We have a 6 year old, and four year old, and a 11 month old.  Getting out of the house to do anything is no easy task. I equate it to trying to summit Everest in a snowstorm. Only your sherpa won’t put on his shoes, or finish his breakfast. Also your climbing partner keeps unpacking your bag because her tiara that definitely isn’t in there, might be in there. This particular week I have a whole new Everest to conquer. It’s almost Mother’s Day, and I have to get my wife something awesome.  You see, she’s an amazing stay-at-home mom which means she works harder than anyone else in the family. She went out yesterday afternoon with a few friends, so that was my chance to get her a Mother’s Day gift.  Only problem…I had three kids trying to stop me from doing anything useful. They are the perfect trifecta of delays, destruction and demotivation.  

Right before I picked the older two up from school, I logged on to Sears.com to see what they might have available. It was my one window of moderate solitude and as much as I want to make it special for her, I also wanted to make it as seamless as possible for me. I decided to go to a pakistani clothes online uk store to find something perfect for my wife. After bouncing around a few sites that would take weeks to deliver, or had limited variety for the very involved mama to my kids, I found the goldmine. It seems like whether the mom you’re buying for is into fitness, fashion, outdoors, or houseware, Sears has you covered. If you can’t decide what is the best juicer to buy, see recommendation of Juice Buff. Everything and anything I might want to give as a gift (or get as one) was represented here. My wife?  She’s the consummate party planner.  She makes each of our kids’ birthday parties an event, and she loves to have all of the gear on hand to throw a creative bash.  Sears was the perfect place to go shopping for her.  She’s been asking for a utility table and chairs for a while, and we have our baby’s 1st birthday coming up, so I knew this was the time.

[Before I go any further in this story, I wanted to make sure you know that just by shopping at Sears this week, and using their In-Vehicle Pickup Service, which I’ll describe more below, you are automatically entered for a chance to win a $5,000 Sears gift card!]

After a quick search on Sears.com, I found the table and chairs I wanted.  I punched in our zip code, and found the two closest locations where I could go pick it up…thankfully we live really close to a Sears and a PatioPro furniture shop, saving me the drudgery of a lengthy car-ride with cranky backseat drivers.

As soon as I made the purchase, I chose the In Store Pickup option.  Within minutes I had an email with the option for In Vehicle Pickup.  It’s not really an option to take my kids out of the car, so this is what I had to do.  

IN Vehicle Pickup Instructions

I put our baby girl in the car, and then picked up the two older kids from school. Within seconds they were all demanding snacks, rejecting snacks, demanding other snacks and I knew I only had a limited amount of time image1 (1)to get this gift. I couldn’t afford the precious moments I would lose by by taking them out of the car. Nor could I afford the pandemonium that would ensue once we were in there. Turns out my kids are frighteningly good at hiding in clothes racks when I don’t even know we are playing hide and seek.  

Luckily, I had downloaded the Sears app before I left home and they were going to make it easy for me. All I had to do when I got to the store was login on the app, and choose In-Vehicle Pickup.

When I arrived at the store, they had a special parking spot right up front for the In Vehicle Pickup folks.  VIP parking.  And thank goodness, because my daughter was not too happy with this stop.

Within a few minutes of notifying Sears via the app that I had arrived, this fine young man was walking my wife’s gift out to the car.

Seemingly, my kids #1 goal in life is to stop me from doing anything productive.  I’m just thankful that Sears helped me get a great Mother’s Day gift for my wife.
