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

    I work at a university, so I REALLY get to see firsthand what I’m missing out on. =) Adult Spring Break would look like this (and preferably happen someplace tropical and sunny and warm): sleep as late as my dog lets me, mimosa with brunch, napping/reading with wine, fun physical activity, party with friends, repeat. It sounds AMAZING. Let’s institute that.

    As of right now I’d love a week to veg out and possibly do some things around the house that have been ignored recently. If I were to go all out I’d definitely hit the beach!

    My husband is in school right now, so he DOES get a Spring Break! But that was in May, when it was still cold out. He got some yard work done, though. Does that make us old and boring?

    GIVE ME A BREAK….I would relax, with one girl in 3rd grade and the other on the cusp of Kindergarten the schedule in my house has gotten hectic. paydates, softball practice and everything in between it’s gotten a bit crazy and I expect it to get crazier. I would love to just sit at the beach and relax with no kids.
