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!

    Gimme that $500 dollars. I am getting ready to start refinishing an old dining room table and chairs. That would be a great start on paint and supplies.

    GIMME THAT $500!

    My husband and I just moved into our first home this past weekend and have many ideas brewing for future projects. It is a new build, so first on our list is a lawn and then a fence for our Siberian Husky, Nikko, to enjoy in time for winter.

    Since I live in an apartment and really can’t do anything major with the place, I would give the gift card to my parents who are constantly doing things around their house and would appreciate the chance to spend 500 buckaroos at Lowe’s.

    Like so many others on here..we have also just bought a house. We would probably spend that $ towards replacing some doors and door frames on the first floor.

    OR

    possibly toward a new front door to add a little more personality to the front of our house (and to keep the cold air out!)

    GIMME THAT $500!

    We’ve been in our house for 6 months now and our to-do list seems to double in size everyday. We purchased a bungalow built in 1952 that we absolutely adore for its charm, but there are still certain parts of the house that are circa 1952. I’d be torn between starting on the guest bathroom or the master bathroom – both are in desperate need of a makeover. Or, we may drop the bathroom remodels and use it towards a grill. I’ve been dreaming about getting one since we purchased the house but keep getting sidetracked. One of these days…

    I just bought a house so I would use it to rip up the uber-old kitchen linoleum and buy paint for a black and white checkerboard pattern on the hardwood underneath.

    oops..I got so excited that I forgot to include what I would use the $500 on. There are soo many things but I would probably start with some new indoor and outdoor light fixtures. I’m dying to get rid of these brass ones! And maybe towards our first floor powder room..the 1967 faucet soo has to go!

    We would sooo finish our bathroom. It’s got a fresh new coat of paint, just saving up now to buy the new fixtures.

    Also, tear the rest of the wallpaper out of the house, just the hallway and kitchen left to do. That card would be a great help in fixing our 1st house to the way we want it!

    Gimme that $500, pretty please!

    My husband I just moved into a new home and we are doing some major (and minor) renovations throughout. We spend a lot of money, and time, in home improvement stores. This $500 would be VERY much appreciated and would help out tremendously with our current and future projects.

    Thanks for the chance!

    “GIMME THAT $500?
    I would spend the $500 on decorating my brand new “lookout” basement!! My husband and I just poured a new basement under our house. We bought the house from his grandparents and it was the house his grandfather was raised in. He remembers going to visit his “Nannie” there. We put the basement in first so we can live down there while we restore the upstairs. A Lowe’s giftcard would help out a ton!!:)

    Our house needs some new windows, landscape plantings, and both interior and exterior paint…we’d probably spread it around! :)
