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.
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!

Andrea says
Gimme that $500!
We moved into our home eight years ago and the mini blinds that were supposed to be temporary are still hanging. I was just at Lowe’s drooling over the curtain panels and rods. With FIVE windows in our living room, $500 would make it possible to finally make those temporary vinyl mini blinds disappear!

GIMME THAT 500!!!
we are new home owners, and we still have an empty space to fill…the “formal dining area.” we’re happy with our breakfast nook, and were thinking of turning the dining area into a reading space, just haven’t had the funds to do so yet…
Jennifer says
“Gimme that $500”
It would definitely go towards our two bathrooms!
Heather @ Sellers Gang Mama says
GIMME THAT $500!!
Awesome prize first of all, you guys are great. There are so many things I would like to do with $500 from Lowes; shelving for the laundry room, a new grill, window treatments in the kitchen, I could go on and on!
Beabee says
GIMME THAT $500!
Woo, I just moved to a new state, new house, new job, new life — that $500 could help me start to make my home here!
maryann says
GIMME THAT $500 !!! (please)
We could finally afford a new bathroom vanity, mirror.
Brandi D. says
GIMME THAT $500!!!!
Our house still needs a ton of work (even after living here for FOUR YEARS… babies tend to postpone things…), but I think the $500 would have to go towards our bathroom redo. It’d be really nice to have a working light in there. And some paint. And replace the ’70’s medicine cabinet with something nicer. I could go on and on…
Chad says
Gimme that 500.
I’d get a new grill!
Patty says
Gimme that $500. I am planning on painting and laying wood flooring in my kitchen. This $500 would be great to have.
Heather H says
GIMME THAT $500!

It’ll go toward lots of white and black paint for renovating all of my mismatched brown furniture, and some bookshelves for the chest-high towers of books in my bedroom.
Amy says
GIMME THAT $500!!!!! We would use the $500 to replace our LOVELY silver bathroom fixtures!!! I’ve wanted to get rid of them for a LONG time but they are not serious enough to put into the budget that is OH SO tight right now!
Brittany says

Ebonn says
GIMME THAT $500!!!
REASON: Well in addition to being an awesome birthday present (b-day is tomorrow the 22nd :)), we could use that money for several things. We just bought and new house and although there is lots to be done, this would be a great kick off to our “mini-model” of our kitchen! That $500 bucks would make tearing down the obstructing wall between the kitchen and den a lot more FUN! OR updating the baths, the laundry room, the rec room, the landscaping, our back porch, etc. The to-do’s go on forever… Happy Blogiversary !!
Mary says
GIMME THAT $500

Carey says
GIMME THAT $500 …
We bought our house a little over a year ago, and have really added a lot of nice and new touches. One thing we REALLY want to do is replace all the old (ugly) wood baseboards with sleek white ones! This would REALLY help us make our house look 500 times better!!
Jake says
GIMME THAT $500!!!
PLEASE!
Allie B says
GIMME THAT $500! (please)
What we could do with that. I’m thinking I’d spend it on our back deck: like your front porch makeover with BHG (right?), I’d love to paint/stain it, get a swing, some potted plants, maybe a picnic table for the back yard… oh man!
Thanks YHL!
Tovah says
Gimme that $500!
Finally we could get a screen door for the back door. Paint the front door. Get that outdoor seating I’ve been longing for…yes, I could use that gift card:)
Cris R says
GIMME THAT $500! Please! We would use the money as a huge jumpstart to turn our front porch into our new master bath!
Amber says
GIMME THAT $500! Oh I looooove Lowes! This would go straight into our bedroom remodel. We are ripping out the carpet and sealing/painting the concrete floor a glossy black. We also are doing a MAJOR closet renovation which involves knocking out some drywall and completely designing and mounting shelves for a totally custom wardrobe that will fit BOTH of our clothes. :)
Kelli says

Tracy says
GIMME THAT $500!
We just moved into our new house, and there’s no washer or dryer! Our clothes keep piling up BIG TIME between trips to the laundromat!
