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

    If every adult received a spring break I would take the time to travel to Italy and Ireland where I have family. I would visit with them and learn the history of my family.

    GIMME A BREAK! Given a break and a blank check, I’d be on a boat or a beach in the caribbean, the caymans or turks and caicos, or in the pacific, fiji, bora bora…a girl can dream, can’t she?! Given a break and my personal checkbook, I’d be on a boat, likely a kayak, at the beach, fort desoto or shell key here at home.

    Gimmie a break!!! Living in WI, but vacationing in The Boston area right now, I’m missing the 8 inches of snow they are getting back home AND we went to the beach today where it was too cold to put my son’s feet in the water I would go anywhere warm! I always say the warmer, the better!!! But I also love to plan a themed party, so if it was summer I would stay home and party it up!!

    Being a new mum, the bar is set fairly low here. I’d go for my husband coming home before seven pm or leaving before seven am so I could have some more sleep. Or for a shower without background crying. Bonus if someone could watch the squid while I went for a run and took a bonus shower.
