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 go to Skagway, ALASKA! Yes I understand this isn’t your typical spring break destination spot but I love this place with all my heart! Everyone there is so relaxed and the town is simply amazing.. only 800 residents. I would stay at the little Inn and eat Sugar Mama’s cupcakes all day long. Maybe I will go on a little hike as well.

    GIMME A BREAK! (gimme a break… break me off a piece of that fan-cy feast!) Fans of the office? No? Ah well…
    I would spend that week relaxing with the hubby, and maybe just maybe getting around to some much needed work around the house!
    Happy spring break!

    GIMME A BREAK! it seems like almost every time there is a spring break (the hubs is a teacher) we move to a new home! well, i guess it’s really only been maybe 3 times in the last 10 years. what i would really love would be a trip to a tropical island to get away from the rainy wether we have at spring break time (ours was 3 weeks ago).

    As much as I’d love to fly somewhere tropical right now, I’d probably end up staying home with my 3 year-old daughter. We would plant some flowers or a small garden for Earth Day and watch Tangled over and over again.
