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

    “GIMME A BREAK!”

    I take Spring Break (vacation) with my school aged son, but we end up doing family type activiites. Left on my own? Honestly, I’d sleep late and catch up on the laundry. How dull is that!

    I would leave the kids with my parents and take my hubby to Key West…a place he loves but I’ve never been before. We’d drink at outside bars, get way too much sun, go to bed early :-) and just enjoy being with each other for a few days.

    A grown up spring break sounds awesome. I would probably go to England (love it…sigh). I’m actually moving my office home next month, so this givaway would definitely perk up my soon-to-be little workspace!

    GIMMIE A BREAK!!!

    I’m a mama to a 7 month old, soooooo I’d FINALLY do a babymoon vacation with my husband AND the baby. But we’d do it in our backyard – we’d set up a tent all arabian style with carpet and cushions. We bbq and invite a WHOLE bunch of friends over…. and pretty much have a different theme for each night for spring break. It’d be like when we were kids and had to use our imaginations to have fun, except now we have money to help out with the imagination part!

    GIMME A BREAK—I would head off on vacation with my husband. I travel internationally for work a couple of times a year, but he and I rarely get to see the world together. Off to somewhere warm, sunny, and relaxing is just what’s needed!

    I work at a college so I have a semi-break in that the week of spring break is usually super quiet. I did get to go to Prague in March for my “spring break” recently though, so that was amazing!
