Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: A Break From Boring

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’m torn between an adventurous and gluttonous european vacation and a nice quiet lake house with my husband and dog (and of course, a hot tub).

    Gimme a break. I feel guilty saying it, but as a teacher I do get a spring break :)

    I spend my time off catching up on projects for school and around the house. It’s nice to be able to spend time at home just relaxing and getting things done.

    Please GIMME A BREAK!!! In a perfect world I’d go somewhere with sand, sun and delicious fruity drinks with umbrellas in them. In real life, I’d probably stay home and tackle the to-do list, which seems to grow exponentially this time of year.

    GIMME A BREAK! I would totally take a vacation. The last few months have been crazy at work and my husband is a student and actually gets a spring break so I think we’d go to a beach somewhere. Did I mention the high was 40 degrees today? Yep, definitely a beach.
