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! At this point in my day, with my husband out of town for the last 3 months, 3 small children and snow outside I would just settle for an uninterrupted bathroom break and a candy bar. Preferably in a bathroom not flooded by an overflowing toilet stuffed with an entire roll of newspaper courtesty of the 2 year old (nickname: Dr. Destructo). *sigh*

    I would love to go to Europe again. Or maybe somewhere warm. Around this time the Oregon rain starts getting to me.

    Also – due to an office move I just got demoted from a window office to a cubicle (today) so I really could use this giveaway!

    If I got spring break, I’d spend it planting flowers, cleaning up the yard and getting my vegetable garden ready. A little spring cleaning would probably happen too!

    GIMME A BREAK! If I had just one week off I’d probably do a half/half thing. Spend a couple days at home catching up on projects then go on a mini-vacation somewhere fairly close just to relax. That, or I would spend the whole week in NY because I can never get enough of that city!
