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 would do a bunch of projects on/in my house that I have been putting off for ages. There would probably be some pool time, too, and then on the last day of break I’d have a faaaaaaaab party for all my friends in my deliciously spruced up house!

    Gimme a break! Sad thing is, I used to be a teacher and got a break right along with the kids. I definitely think that all hard working adults are entitled to one. I think I’d go to Charleston for a shopping spree with the BFF.

    GIMME A SPRING BREAK! …well, actually, I already had one. I’m a teacher, so I still get all of those lovely vacations :)
    This year I decided to stay at home with my husband. He works at a University so he still enjoys a Spring Break also – this year they were actually at the same time! We were overly exhausted and thought that staying home would actually give us a real break rather than trying to coordinate everything that goes into a vacation.

    Gimme a break! I would leave my 3 month old with his grandmas and aunt (I’d have to figure out how to leave my breasts with him too) and I would take my husband and do all the things we haven’t been able to do the past 3 months. Some good old fashioned grown up time with him and some yoga and sewing time for me.
    Sigh. A girl can dream, right. :)
