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!

    I work with college students, and actually do take a spring break with them each year to do a alternative breaks service trip doing home repair in Appalachia. It is the opposite of relaxing, but the best experience that I’ve ever had.

    A combination of 2 great vacations – a week at the beach and a week being taken care of by my family while pretending I don’t have to work (or pay rent). Fortunately my family lives at the beach!

    GIMME A BREAK!

    As much as I love to go away, Spring Break is one of the most expensive times to travel and I always feel like I need a vacation from my vacation, because it’s such a whirlwhind.

    As a teacher myself, this was one of the first years I stayed home for the break and it actually felt long and relaxing to me. It was fabulous!!!

    Home projects, or a big vacation down to San Diego to be with family. Probably alternating every other year. With some late nights and late mornings if the kids still have school the whole week (I’m future-tripping- my kid is still in diapers)…
