***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.
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? (why dance around it, right?)
If I won the $500 giftcard, I would probably put it to use finishing off some projects that haven’t been finished yet. Maybe tile the bathroom floor, replace all my old mini blinds, or maybe I would spend it on some custom shelving for our playroom. It would be a hard choice but one that I am willing take on!
Kerry says

Wow! You guys have outdone yourselves!! How exciting. 500 from Lowe’s let me count the ways…. new bathroom sink (very similar to the one you have your eyes on), paint for our master bedroom, bathroom, and hall bathroom. New light fixtures, some plants for the outside lawn, and if there is anything let over some beans for new flooring for our kitchen. Ahhh…. what a dream that would be!

Jessica Kelly says
GIMME THAT $500
I would for sure take that $$$ and purchase a new toilet, some flooring for my white kitchen floor (bad news with a big rot running across it all winter)… I also would love to paint my office and organize the basement with more shelving…
Sara says
Gimme that $500. Where to start? I think with painting! The living room, kitchen (and cupboards), master bedroom. The all white interior has got to go :) My husband also wants to build in a nice new deck! I wonder how far we could stretch that $500?!
Caitlin says
GIMME THAT 500!
I want to help my parents out with a deck project!
Emily says
“GIMME THAT $500?

If I win, the $500 will be very well spent on raising the fence around our backyard.
