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

    Spring is taking it’s sweet time to arrive here in Canada, so I’d love to go somewhere warm with a beach!

    I’m so ready for some relaxing downtime and a week at home to just hang out with my husband, read, listen to some music and maybe even a bath using a fabulous LUSH bath bomb would be delightful :)

    Gimme a break! I would love to win a gift card to this cool store and jazz up my desk.

    I would love to be off on spring break. So jealous of my neighbors who are teachers, and whose cars are in their driveways each morning, when I’m leaving to go to work. I would stay home and do some DIY projects, I think!

    GIMME A BREAK! I actually do have a week off for Spring Break (I’m a new teacher), but it is full of grading and prepping. If, however, every grown-up had it I would think it should include mandatory nature time. Hikes, picnics, beaches, flowers, and a general celebration of spring.

    Tell everyone I was going hiking (or anywhere with understandably shotty cell reception), unplug everything and try to go 24 hrs w/o speaking(except to my furkids in case of about-to-eat-that-cat-poo-emergencies).

    Gimma a break! I think I’d just stay at home and completely relax…even when you say that you’re going to relax at home, you always wind up either running errands or feeling guilty because your time can be better allocated…so I think I’d give myself a week of just staying home and having fun.
