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!

    One entry per email addy? Is that playing by the rules? :)

    Gimme the $500! I’d buy something very practical and useful – like a shower door or faucet to replace the one in our master bath that falls apart everytime we use it.

    I would purchase some paint for the accent wall we want to do in our living room, new light fixtures for our bathroom, a new shower head in our guest bathroom, new plantation blinds for our bedroom and perhaps a gas grill.

    GIMME THAT $500…

    I’d certainly use it to create more space & clever storage in my apartment. My husband and I are rentals right now but much of your blog is useful regardless (and what isn’t can be stored in the know-how banks for future use).

    Thanks!

    GIMMIE THAT $500!!!!!!!!!! (please and thank you)

    We have an empty living room that I call the “junk room” or the “playroom” right in the front of the house. With teal carpet. We have 3 kids but the time has come to paint it and recarpet. Not with teal carpet. Oh and the dining room opposite the living room has teal carpet. Can you tell we want to replace the teal carpet?

    We close on our house next week and that money could start us on the basement refinishing – drywall, 2x4s, insulation, paint. . . Thank you already!

    GIMME THAT $500! Pretty please with a cherry on top! We would use it to build a retaining wall. We just bought a house and want to create a bigger backyard for our little boy to run around.

    If I had the gift card, I’d use it to stock up on baby-proofing supplies, as our Big Boy is getting so big and mobile. Then the money I saved from paying for those supplies out-of-pocket can instead go to keeping my little weed in clothes that actually fit!

    We’re basically re-doing our entire upper floor on a shoestring budget. New floors, new paint, etc. We’ve lived here a year and haven’t been able to do much of anything. In our basement, we want to get some good laminate! Thank you!

    My husband and I have been living in our house for a year, and I would use the money to revamp our 1950’s master bath. Light green paint for the walls, new sink, and a door with frosted glass would tie it in to our master and make it look like a suite!

    Gimme that $500! Please. :)

    My fiance Andy and I getting married in t-minus 24 days, but we’re already starting to turn our new apartment into a home. We’d love to put some paint on the walls, hang some frames, etc on the plaster, and buy looong 10 ft curtain rod and curtains to create some more storage in this dining room alcove in the new pad. (As is, we have a closet in each of two bedrooms and a pantry and that’s IT. Yikes!)

    Your advice on your blog has been so helpful up to this point! Thanks already for helping turn our apt into a home and our wedding an even more-special (and affordable!) day. You guys rock!!!

    We’ve just remodeled our dining room, kitchen and breakfast room. The only things left to replace are the light fixtures! $500 from Lowe’s would be great for this final touch!

    I just bought a condo in July, but it’s still a far way from feeling like “my” place yet. $500 would be great for paint, hardware, lighting..sigh, the list goes on :)
