Fab Freebie: All Time Lowe’s

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

For our big two year blogiversary and we’re celebrating with one of the biggest freebies we’ve ever freebied: a $500 Lowe’s gift card.

Lowes 500 Gift Card

Did that sink in yet? It still hasn’t for us. When we started hunting for the perfect blogiversary prize a few weeks ago we never thought we’d land something so exciting. It’s like Lowe’s is giving one of you the chance to take on a big project and they’re footing the bill. And we couldn’t be more thrilled to be giving it away.

We probably don’t need to remind you of all the items you could snag during a $500 shopping blitz at Lowe’s – paint, lighting, power tools, holiday decor, flooring. Heck, you could even get a new dishwasher or something. So in case you’re having any trouble picturing where you’d put five hundred Lowe’s dollars, allow us to lend our expertise (that is, our money-spending assistance). Here are a few items that we’ve got our eyes on:

This Idylis air purifier: Since the cold weather will have us closing up our windows and doors soon, the HEPA filter on this baby keeps indoor air from getting stale and could really help Sherry as we get into allergy season.

A new lawn mower: I know the season’s ending, but I’ve had it up to here (picture my hand above my head) with the used mower we bought when we moved back in 2006 (let’s just say it’s no longer self-propelling). Lowe’s online Mower Selector tool helped turn up a bunch of options that we could snag for well under 500 beans.

A cool bathroom sink: With a full bathroom redo moving closer to the top of our to-do list we’re already starting to fantasize about where we can add some special touches, like plopping a vessel sink on top of a thrifted piece of furniture-turned-vanity. And Lowe’s has a bunch of awesome vessel sink options.

I’ve also been contemplating adding some outdoor path lighting or taking our garage organization a step further with some more sophisticated shelving. But we’d better quit letting our minds wander because we’re not the ones who get the $500 gift card… one of you does! Here’s how:

  • PRIZE: A $500 Lowe’s gift card (in case you forgot)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GIMME THAT $500” (why dance around it, right?) and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: Tell us what project you might spend the prize on. Surely we’re not the only ones daydreaming about where $500 could go (and no, we won’t be picking a winner based on this answer – it’ll still be random)
  • CONTEST CLOSES: Thursday, September 24th at 8pm EST (that’s an extra day!)
  • WINNER: One lucky lady or gent
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the USA (but Lowe’s loving Canadians with friends or family in the states can enter and we’ll send it to your US relative/friend who can forward it on to you).
  • THE USUAL: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    I am closing on my first house this week! The extra money would be great – It would go towards some master bedroom and bathroom remodeling.

    GIMME THAT $500! I would use it towards remodeling our not so fabulous 1980’s kitchen. Love your site. Congrats on 2 great years!

    “Gimme that $500!!!”
    We just bought our home last October. Its the perfect home with amazing amounts of potential for us but defiantly a fixer upper! We are both still finishing up college so most of our Reno’s and house dreams are on hold till may… I can only dream of all the things I could do with $500!!! I would have to say my first choice is a make over for our 3rd bedroom. Still colored a glorious barbie pink with smashing lavender trim work from the previous owners (very appropriate for a young college couple like ourselves!!!)

    So I’d have to go with paint (a nice soft blue probably to match the neutral white comforter I have been drooling over from west elm), flooring (its got carpet that has defiantly seen better days!!!) Maybe a closet organization system for all our school books, files, and also a place to harbor my scrap booking affinity.

    We love our first home, we have got big dreams for our “baby” and $500 would defiantly get us a leg up!!!

    I would love to buy plants to finish off our front landscaping, new bathroom sink/vanity and kitchen counter top–oh what a dream! Congrats on your anniversary!

    I would buy a new dishwasher. It’s the only appliance in my kitchen that’s not stainless. It sort of sticks out. Of course, it still works, so I don’t have a good reason to spend *my* money on it.

    Looks like you might hit 5 digits on this one!

    Give ME that $500!!! I have lived in my new condo for three years with the bed still in the living room and still living out of boxes!! Just can’t decide what to do. Have gotten a few ideas for you though!! Thanks so much.
    Quick question….do you still offer those prints with the alpha bets on them? You had one with a P on it?

    Thanks

      Hey Mary,

      Unfortunately all of our shop items are limited edition so we no longer offer those customized monograms. We do have a lot of fun new stuff coming into the shop soon though, so here’s hoping something else tickles your fancy.

      xo,

    I’d use it to replace the old 1950’s hollow doors that are throughout our house, and to update fixtures like doorknobs. And of course, paint, paint, and more paint!

    I’d use it to fix our horrible 70’s downstairs basement up, and complete my landscape plan for our tiny yard (just finished drawing the plan last night).

    As you were saying, “GIMME THAT $500!!? There are tons of possibilities! I want to design and make my own bed with extra storage. Also, I could make a matching bookshelf or a side table. Or I could make a mosaic or a cement table or….

    There are so many things we could use that toward – our house was built in the 1950s and nothing had been updated since then, until we bought the house a few years ago.
