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 go somewhere fun. All of my spring breaks in college were spent sick with tonsillitis or writing papers. Give me some sand, sun, and water and I’m there!

    I am an operations manager and I juggle so much that I barely have time to clean my office. GIVE ME A BREAK! I need these stylish products to spruce up my work digs. Then, I can go on Spring Break…preferably back to Kure Beach with my husband. It’s where we got married :)

    Somewhere exotic, anywhere warm. I have this goal to fill my passport before it expires and a real two week break from work with no strings attached would greatly help my nearly impossible goal.

    If money was no object, then I’d totally take a trip to Scandinavia. Otherwise, I’d definitely relax at home – I usually use all my vacation time to go visit family in a neighboring state.

    GIMME A BREAK! I absolutely love entertaining so I would throw an outdoor party for all the other adults on Spring Break. And who am I kidding, I’d have to invite all the little ones too. I just love watching them run around having a blast together.

    I have been wanting to go to Costa Rica for a while. Recently, it seems like everyone I talk to has either been there and loved it or is planning a trip. Something about a rain forest zip line just sounds particularly fabulous to me.
