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’d grab my husband and use our frequent flier miles to head to Australia pre-baby!

    GIMME A BREAK! I would enjoy a week at home, sleeping in, getting caught up on house “stuff” I’ve been wanting to get done, and definitely go to the spa for some special treatments. Then I would pick up my daughter early from daycare each day and spend time with her at the park or another fun activity!

    GIMME A BREAK!

    I never got to go on a “real” spring break trip as a kid, so I’d gather up the family and head to some tropical place to party it up like we’re 15 again!

    GIMME A BREAK! If I had a week off from school & work, I would probably end up just hanging out at home catching up on my sleep since I’m a broke nursing school student. If I had unlimited funds I’d probably take off to Seattle, WA (have always wanted to visit the Pacific Northwest).

    Well since I’m a teacher, I do actually get a spring break! I love to take time to relax, do little projects that have been on hold, or take little trips. Of course, a trip down south would be very nice right about now….

    GIMME A BREAK!

    I know a lot of you on here are going to be mad at me for this – I’m a college instructor…so I do get a spring break. Mine was about a month ago, and I spent it getting ready to teach a new class the next week, wedding planning, and cleaning up my sorely neglected apartment. I did manage to relax a little in there too…but just a little. :-)

    Gimme a Break!! I am a teacher so technically I get spring break, but because of my role at the school, I usually end up on a service trip with some of our students (always a lot of fun, not always such a break!). I would LOVE to stay home on my spring break!!
