Homedepot.com Starts Selling Third Party Gift Cards
Home Depot has a good selection of third party gift cards in-store. But now they have also started selling them online. I’m not sure when they started selling them online, but it must be a recent development which was first reported by GC Galore.
This news is more interesting considering that Home Depot processes these transactions itself. So they will code as a Home Depot purchase. That’s different from many other merchants that process them through third parties such as Cashstar.
This could be useful when there is an increased shopping portal rate for Home Depot, or if you have saved this Amex Offer for $15 off $150. You might also sometimes get offers for bonus rewards at home improvement stores.
But what third party gift cards can you buy at Homedepot.com? You can see the full list of gift cards here (affiliate link). You can filter by brand, and there you will see all the options available. You can also filter by category.
Some notable brands that might be of interest include AMC, Applebee’s, BP, BWW, Delta, Disney, Panera, and more.

Family of an aspiring model shot in the head following a weekend argument over parking at a Brooklyn Home Depot are praying she pulls through as doctors are forced to wait to perform surgery.
The bullet remained lodged 26-year-old Imani Sharpless’ head as on Monday evening, and intense swelling around the wound has to subside before an operation can happen, according to a relative.
“They can’t take the bullet out until the swelling goes down in the brain,” uncle Patrick Sharpless said as the victim remained in critical condition since Saturday’s senseless shooting.
“We can’t do nothing but pray,” he told the Daily News. “God is taking care of her.”
Sharpless’s uncle, a North Carolina pastor who’s been in close contact with her immediate family, said that doctors are unsure whether his niece’s wounds will result in lasting paralysis.
“We just have to make sure she’s not paralyzed or anything like that,” he said.
Imani Sharpless was riding shotgun in 36-year-old boyfriend Cordel McDuffie’s white Hyundai Sonata at the Bedford-Stuyvesant Home Depot on the corner of Dekalb and Nostrand Aves. shortly after noon when the couple started feuding with another man over a parking spot, McDuffie told ABC7 New York.
Theodore Parisienne for New York Daily News
Imani Sharplesswas rushed to the hospital in critical condition after she was shot in the head while seated in a Hyundai Sonata outside the Bed-Stuy Home Depot on Saturday.
“He was trying to go into a space, I pulled up behind the guy, he had to back up and I was impeding on him trying to back up,” McDuffie said. “I didn’t realize it, I blew my horn and we exchanged words.”
Witnesses previously told The News they overheard McDuffie shouting that he had given up the disputed parking spot, only for the gunman to pull up beside the pair and unleash a hail of gunfire.
“The guy pulls on the side of them, he starts shooting at them,” said Stacee Glenn, 40, adding that McDuffie shouted, “I gave him the parking spot!” following the shooting.
Although he suffered gunshot wounds to the back and knee, McDuffie managed to maneuver his Hyundai out of the Home Depot parking lot, racing to the intersection of Nostrand and Myrtle Aves. a few blocks away before pulling over and pleading for help, according to witnesses.
A longtime neighbor of McDuffie’s described him as kindhearted and supportive, saying he would often volunteer to pitch in whenever she needed a helping hand.
Sharpless had been shot multiple times, including once in the head, and witnesses saw her slumped over and unconscious in the passenger seat.
“I look in the car and there’s blood dripping from her head,” said Yadelyn Pena, 14, who was at a Nostrand Ave. Duane Reade when a bloodied McDuffie pulled up beside her. “I saw her.”
Police confirmed that a Mercedes-Benz SUV spotted in the Home Depot parking lot with a Pennywise clown mask draped over the headrest of the front passenger seat is believed to belong to the shooter.
The gunman hightailed it down Nostrand Ave. following the shooting, where he was spotted sprinting south wearing a white shirt and red hat, according to police.
McDuffie said he was crestfallen that the tiff over a parking spot ballooned into an act of senseless violence.
“She’s one of the most beautiful people, she loves kids, full of life, just a good person,” he told ABC 7. “For this to be happening over something so minuscule — it’s overwhelming.”
Sharpless was attending school in the hopes of becoming a model and singer, according to her uncle.
She works as a teacher’s aide at an after-school program at a Brownsville elementary school, her friend Dandre Mckoy told The News.
A neighbor of McDuffie’s said he and Sharpless had been seeing each other for years and she believed the couple had been preparing to move in together prior to Saturday’s senseless shooting.
“They’ve been fixing up the apartment lately,” said the neighbor. “I see her coming in with him all the time.”

Wall Street’s main indexes gained on Tuesday, shaking off an unconfirmed report of Russian missiles crossing into Poland that sparked volatility, as investors seized on softer-than-expected inflation data that raised hopes of a pullback in rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve.
Equities were boosted by Tuesday’s inflation report that showed producer prices rising 8% in the 12 months through October against an estimated 8.3% rise.
The gains built on a rally that was kicked off late last week by a cooler-than-expected report on consumer prices.
“The market has been driven by the inflation number that came out a little bit lower than expected and confirmed last week’s number to some degree that we may have rounded the corner on inflation,” said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The market was “a little bit more volatile this afternoon as news stories came out about the Russian missile landing in Poland,” Tuz said.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 56.22 points, or 0.17%, to 33,592.92, the S&P 500 gained 34.48 points, or 0.87%, to 3,991.73 and the Nasdaq Composite added 162.19 points, or 1.45%, to 11,358.41.
Two people were killed in an explosion in Przewodow, a village in eastern Poland near the border with Ukraine, firefighters said as NATO allies investigated reports that the blast resulted from Russian missiles.
The Associated Press earlier cited a senior US intelligence official as saying the blast was due to Russian missiles crossing into Poland. But the Pentagon said it could not confirm that account.
Stocks pulled back around mid-day after the report, with the Dow turning negative before they steadied.
“The decline was triggered by reports of a Russian missile landing in Poland,” said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. “This could develop into something far worse, but right now markets are nervous, not panicked.”
Shares of Walmart Inc jumped 6.5% after the top US retailer lifted its annual sales and profit forecasts, benefiting from steady demand for groceries despite higher prices.
Shares of other retailers, including Target Corp and Costco, also rose following Walmart’s report. Target, which is due to report on Wednesday, rose 3.9%, while Costco gained 3.3%.
Home Depot shares rose 1.6% after the home improvement chain’s results showed it tapped higher prices to override a drop in customer transactions for the third quarter.
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 3.25-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.01-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
The S&P 500 posted 5 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 85 new highs and 76 new lows.
About 13.1 billion shares changed hands in US exchanges, compared with the 12.2 billion daily average over the last 20 sessions.
Ikea is the iconic Swedish furniture brand known for its low prices, flat-pack shipping, and tiny screwdrivers. Millions of people have braved the maze-like big box store searching to furnish their first apartment or simply to find affordable Scandinavian home furnishings. But the Ikea bubble may have burst because the brand’s rock bottom prices have risen to a new high. According to a recent report from Retail Week, the retailer raised prices on some products up to a whopping 80 percent. While not every price increase was so shocking, prices went up at least 22 percent across five of Ikea’s main categories including sofas, beds, dining furniture, drawers [dressers], and mattresses.
It’s worth noting that this research was conducted in the UK and price increases on specific items may or may not apply to the United States market. However, an Ikea spokesperson confirms to Forbes that prices increased nationally in 2022. “Affordability continues to be a key cornerstone for us at Ikea, and our intention remains to keep our prices as low as we possibly can. It’s more important than ever before, as many people face rising living costs and increased inflation. We are not immune to the economic challenges facing businesses, retailers, and many people. To ensure our longevity as a business and employer, we have adjusted our prices to help address increased costs. While we have raised prices on some products, we have also taken steps to make our total offering more affordable for customers every day. Our offer will continue to remain affordable for our customers— reducing prices when and where we can.”
So, if Ikea is no longer in your budget, or you’re looking for affordable yet stylish furniture, here are seven places to consider shopping instead.
The Novogratz
Courtney Novogratz and Paris Hilton
Diego Uchitel
Founded by renowned interior design duo Courtney and Robert Novogratz, The Novogratz is a hidden gem full of stylish statement pieces at excellent prices. For those who don’t want to compromise on style or price, there is no better place to shop for furniture and accessories. The brand offers large pieces starting at $399 for a loveseat and $149 for a coffee table. There are items across most categories including home office, outdoor furniture, wallpaper, kid’s furniture, and even lighting. With many smaller pieces, it’s also an excellent place for apartment-dwellers to shop.
In 2022, the brand launched a collaboration with Paris Hilton called PH By The Novogratz. The line features several fun pieces including a pink velvet bed and futon that’s very reflective of Hilton’s aesthetic but definitely not her bank account.
Tov
Carmen Cane Bed by Tov
Tov
Tov is a smaller female-founded brand with lots of fun, fabulous pieces priced within reach. While the brand has a generous range of furniture across a variety of categories, it’s still far more curated than most online retailers.
Madison Beer and Dixie D’Amelio are fans of Tov’s glamorous yet chic aesthetic which is essentially the complete opposite of Ikea. From lip-shaped sofas to bold tassel table lamps, Tov truly puts the fun back into design. Prices start at under $700 for a sofa and $340 for a desk.
Wayfair
Furniture for all seasons

To say Wayfair sells everything but the kitchen sink is inaccurate because, in addition to furniture and home decor, they also sell kitchen sinks. The mega brand is known for its frequent sales. So items that may not be within budget this week may very well be affordable in a week or two, making Wayfair potentially a better deal than Ikea.
A company spokesperson tells Forbes, “Wayfair aims to give customers competitive prices all year round and run promotions both at key holiday moments and throughout the year as consumers prepare for seasonal moments like outdoor entertaining, spring cleaning, back to school, or home renovation projects requiring new large appliances or even custom cabinetry. This year, in particular, we know customers are seeking strong deals ahead of the holidays and we brought back our biggest sale of the year for the holidays for the first time ever.”
Levity
Pet and kid-proof by Levity
Levity
Levity is the sister brand to cult-favorite washable rug purveyor Ruggable. Frankly, there isn’t a better place to shop for durable pieces that will stand up to kids and pets. Pricing for chairs starts at $199 and $159 for tables. While the selection is limited (Levity only has living room and dining room furniture for now), every piece is machine-washable and stain-resistant.
The chairs and ottomans feature interchangeable, spill-proof covers designed to withstand everything from oil to red wine and pet accidents. This also means there’s an option to refresh with new slipcovers instead of replacing entire pieces, making Levity a very cost-effective and eco-friendly option for the long haul. Even the tables are scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, and repel liquids. No coaster? No problem.
HomeGoods

HomeGoods
HomeGoods is a fun store to shop at that’s filled with great deals. While the brand recently launched an e-commerce site, the heart of HomeGoods will always be the in-store experience. Best of all, the prices are difficult to argue with. Andrew Mastrangelo Assistant Vice President, Global Communications TJX tells Forbes, “At HomeGoods, we deliver incredible value on an ever-changing selection of exciting top brands and home fashions from around the world, at prices generally 20 to 60 percent below full-price retailers’ (including department, specialty, and major online retailers) regular prices, on comparable merchandise, every day.”
HomeGoods also curates its inventory globally, so while there are plenty of mainstays like Rae Dunn pottery, there are also many treasures waiting to be discovered. Mastrangelo explains, “Our team of expert finders scour the globe throughout the year for the most interesting, fashionable merchandise from top brands, designers, and artisans alike – for every room in the home. Unlike other types of retailers that buy seasonally, we have new home fashions arriving several times a week, with each delivery containing thousands of items.”
World Market
World Market’s unique pieces
World Market
With 242 retail locations, World Market is a great alternative to Ikea. While the selection isn’t as large as what Ikea offers, this can be a good thing for those who get overwhelmed by too many choices. Prices are very reasonable with coffee tables starting under $200 and dining tables starting under $300. While World Market doesn’t have a signature aesthetic, there are lots of mid-century inspired, contemporary and eclectic pieces that can easily integrate into many design schemes. The store also sells lots of decor, snacks and items perfect for gifting.

Overstock sells just about everything at a price that begs customers to click “add to cart.” From bed to bath and even flooring and refrigerators, this site has it all. With frequent sales and coupon codes, it’s certainly worth scouring for large and small pieces. The e-commerce site also has sets typically found at brick-and-mortar discount furniture stores like three and five-piece bedroom sets, patio furniture sets, and even a small space living section great for apartments and condos.

While many think of Home Depot as a place to buy home improvement items like wood, appliances, and power tools, the retailer also has furniture at an accessible price. From entryway tables starting at less than $50 and bookcases starting under $70, it’s a good place to consider if budget is key. While most items aren’t offered in-store, they can be returned in-store, making Home Depot a convenient choice for many. The online selection is also astounding with thousands of options in select categories.
