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!

    We’ve got Italy on our list…but part of me just really wants to try a cruise or an all inclusive Caribbean island get-away.

    GIMME A BREAK! I’d like to go someplace awesome and interesting, like maybe New Zealand, but honestly right now I’d settle for a week off around the house with time for some decent nights of sleep (baby growth spurt + sick dog + night owl toddler = exhausted mom) and getting some projects off the to do list.

    As much as I would like to say I’d jet set off to a luxurious vacay…right about now, I could really use some “adult time” to get all those little things done at home that have been pushed aside for months… you know, the things you don’t get a paycheck to do? :) Ideally, I think I would take my 16 month old son to school every morning, do the things that I need to do to get caught up every day… and then pick him up early and do a kid friendly activity that he would enjoy since the weather is so fab! Maymont.. zoo.. Tuckahoe Plantation.. Children’s Museum, etc. Did I mention that my offie downtown could use some SERIOUS sprucing up? GIMME A BREAK!!

    Gimme a break!

    My husband and I go to Tijuana with high school students every year on their spring break to build houses for families who need them, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything else. But if I were magically given another week off from work somewhere exotic and beachy sounds really good.
