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

    I would sleep. A lot! Then I would go somewhere a low key and just relax with some friends and family. Then, if I got really ambitious I would clean out my garage, basement, and closets. It would be a very full spring break! LOL

    GIMME A BREAK!

    If I could do anything for spring break I wouldn’t want to do anything at all. I would probably spend the first day getting things together by tying up loose ends at school and finishing chores around the house. Then I would fly off to a beach, or just go outside, and read books and nap and cook really good food all week.

    The best part about spring break is the time of year–spring is too pretty to miss, so I would spend every second outside enjoying it!

    GIMME A BREAK! OK don’t hate… but both my husband and I work at a school so we get a Spring Break every year. But it would be more fun if more of our friends had a break too. Then we could all stay up late eat junk food and watch cheesy movies!

    “GIMME A BREAK!”

    If I had spring break, I would go somewhere where I could just relax and read and enjoy the company of my dog. I do a lot of talking with my job and it would be nice to have some quiet time. Wouldn’t mind a “stay-cation” either!!

    I guess I don’t pretend about spring break since I’m a teacher but I do have to say that come spring, I think teachers appreciate spring break more than students! My “dream” spring break is to spend it with my 4 month old daughter.
