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

    Since I’m still in college, I already get a spring break. And unfortunately I never do anything cool..haha. But if I could, I would take a trip somewhere warm!

    Goodness me. A break would be wonderful. I’d try to do as little as possible or perhaps just do as many wonderful things as possible. I’m sure much movie watching would occur. I don’t think I need to go anywhere really, I’m happy here.

    Definitely somewhere warmer than where I live. I live near Seattle and it is taking FOREVER for it to give way to spring tmperatures here. Luckily, my husband and I have a trip to Hawaii planned this fall (to replace our never taken honeymoon). So that’ll be a “fall break”, different season, same concept.

    GIMME A BREAK!

    While I’d go to Europe (France and Spain) if I had limitless cash, the reality is, we don’t! And with two kids ready for college in about seven years, we’d do something closer to home. I think we’d rent a beach house with other families on break for a few days and putter about the house making improvements for the other few days.

    Thanks!
