Fab Freebie: A Break From Boring

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries  – see who won below!***

According to random.org, our two giveaway winners are… Amy I. (who’d enjoyed a weekend away and then a few days at home for her pretend spring break) and DebbieRN (who’d go to Sanibel Island).

Don’t you wish there was a no-adult-left-behind official grown-up spring break? Since many of the kids in our county are out of school this week, it made us think about how nice it would be if every adult scored the same week-long break from the office grind. Luckily this week’s prize from The Office Stylist promises to inject some fun (and function) to your desk job. They’ve got loads of tips and services for amping up your workspace, including an online shop that’s stuffed with colorful and stylish organizational items  – from floral file folders to ceramic business card holders and everything in between. And they’re hooking two lucky winners up with $50 cards to spend however they’d like.

 

Sorting With Style Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $50 gift certificate towards Sorting With Style by The Office Stylist
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GIMME A BREAK!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … pretend that every grown up got a spring break. What would you do? Would you go somewhere exotic? Would you just relax at home? Or would you throw a huge party for all the other on-break adults?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 20th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States and Canada!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Sorting With Style

    GIMME A BREAK! I would be on some beach somewhere warm. With a place to sleep, like a cabin or really nice hotel, right next to the beach. I’d wake up, walk out and spend all day on my beach. AHH!

    I would love to go back to where my husband and I honeymooned in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee – except this time, we would probably take our kids because they are the best and love to see new sights, just like their Mom and Dad.

    I would go anywhere we could just have some time to RELAX and I’d be sure to take my poor husband with me. He’s in school and working when he can to help pay the bills. He needs a vacation far more than I do and we could surely use the time to just BE!

    Gimme a break! I would like to say that I would travel somewhere I’ve never been – like Europe or Mexico – but in reality, if I ever got an adult spring break, I’d send my kids to the grandparents and stay home by myself!

    I would take advantage of the adult spring break by heading to a beach (preferably in the Caribbean, maybe Hawaii) to relax with my husband. Oh, if only we could make that happen…

    It has been a loooong, cold winter here in Alberta (never. stops. snowing.) so I’d probably head somewhere warm. I don’t care where, as long as there is no snow!
