Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: A Break From Boring

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

    Well, we’ve already had spring break here, so I’ll just tell you what we did — headed to the beach, baby!

    As non-relaxing as it is, I really could use a week off to paint my house. We just closed last Friday and have a lot to do before we move our stuff in!

    Definitely anywhere warm and sunny. I’m in the midwest and we just received a lovely sheet of light snow last night. I desperately need some warm sunshine on my face!

    I would LOVE to go on a road trip. It’s our favorite way of traveling. Either that or to Italy just to eat. :)
    Maybe someplace tropical instead! Can you tell that I NEED a vacation??

    Stay home, sleep in, stay up late and do lots of sewing and crafts! And catch up on house things too – that porch furniture really needs to have the pollen cleaned off a a new coat of paint!

    I think I’d spend the week doing all the simple little things that I wish I always had more time for – hitting up the library, farmers’ market shopping, working on the garden, lunch with my mom, etc. and cap it all off with a nice little camping trip or trip to the beach with my hubs.

    •If I were granted a spring break, I would start a tradition for that time. I am thinking it would be one week, and it would include a 4-day trip up to visit my parents in my hometown to see it in the spring, and then 3 days of staying home and lying still. Sounds perfect.

    I’m pretty sure the hubby and I would take our little boy (5mo today!) and pup camping either at OBX or somewhere on the Blue Ridge for a couple nights. Then, just hunker down at home the rest of the time to work on the house and enjoy our backyard with friends and family also enjoying a week off!

    GIMME A BREAK – I would use it as an excuse to get together with my college friends, whether it was at one of our houses or in a tropical location. I’d also take a few days of it ALL to myself… sleeping late, eating good food, reading, etc.
