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! Opposed to others, I actually still get a spring break because I teach those kids who are out of school:) Ideally I would love to go to the beach – but this year called for throwing my sis a baby shower and then relaxing at home. Sometimes that’s just as good!

    GIMME A BREAK! As my husband is a teacher and has spring break, usually he and the boys do something fun while I’m stuck at work. So it would be a family vacation for all of us. Going back to Costa Rica would be my first choice!

    Of course, an adult Spring Break would have pretty weather every day if it existed, so I would take my daughter to the park each day because she LOVES to play. I would probably also visit my parents and in-laws in WV and go shopping in Huntington (hitting your profiled shops)where my brother goes to school.

    My husband is a professor and actually gets spring break, so he’s pretty sad I can’t partake in any fun activities with him. Even though I’m 32 weeks pregnant if I had spring break this week we definitely would have traveled somewhere.
