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!

    All of my “big” projects are done, but the amount of stuff we could accomplish to finish all of our little projects? Oh, please let this be my lucky week!

    We, too, are the owners of a 1950 something brick ranch house. It belonged to my husband’s grandparents and they left it to him. Since we moved in two years ago, we have been bringing it up to date. So far we’ve got a new breaker box, had to replace gas lines (we had HUGE leaks), and had to replace the master bathroom plumbing because the cast iron drains had broken. And all this is after tearing up the kitchen floor and replacing it because the refrigerator line had leaked. It has been a labor of love and we do it because we want to see this house look beautiful again. We are still in the bathroom reno because we are first time tilers with not much time, but lots of patience and confidence in our skills. Your website has been inspiring for me and I check it twice a day. I would love to win the $500 gift card, as there is no shortage of projects in this house to spend it on. New cabinets? Maybe. Paint? Probably. Will I love every second of it? Absolutely!

    Oh man, where to start? A new toilet, a new showerhead, a drill (ours has seen better days), maybe some chairs for our teensy patio, organization for the garage…
    Happy blogiversary, youngsters!

    I would actually give the gift card to my mom or at least buy her a lot of fun things with it! She just got new hardwood floors and is itching to do more small improvements.

    This would be the perfect motivator to get me started on the kitchen – repainting the walls and painting the cabinets – with money left over!

    Paint, paint and more paint! We just had our house re-sided, and hammering on the new hardiplank means our walls are in sorry shape.

    We have a crazy aqua, one-piece bath tub that we need to replace. We’ve come to the end of our reno budget so this would come in really handy.

    I just moved into a new place, and it needs some serious work! I’d love that $500 for painting supplies to give the whole interior a face lift and replace the ugly mini blinds with something nicer. Plus a lawnmower – we moved from an apartment and now we need one to keep up our first lawn :)

    Can you say light fixtures? Most of ours need to be updated BAD. We also could use it to go towards a new fridge.
    Love you and your blog! You make me happy!

    GIMME THAT $500 (please)

    The previous owners of our house ripped out the bathroom vanity and replaced it with a home made one that was not sealed and actually leaks, no cabinet doors and so on (they did quite a few “home improvement” projects like this). They also stuck bad wainscoting on the wall behind it to cover where the larger original vanity was ripped out (also not sealed or even completely painted when we bought the house!) $500 would go a long way and theres a particular vanity at lowes I have been eyeing for some time!

    Gosh, the possibilities are endless, but we would probably use it to trim all the windows and doors in our house! After a summer project of vinyl siding, new windows, and doors, the cash has run out!

    I’d re-do all of our sink faucets and then put the rest toward hardwood floors. oh, and a snowblower. OOps, that’s probably more than $500…

    “GIMME THAT $500!”

    Oh wow…we have 3 projects all at around $500 each that we have been pondering between for months! It would either be the back yard privacy fence, Travertine tile for the kitchen, or new carpet for our upstairs hallway! Fantastic giveaway!

    I could trim the desk and shelves I have, paint part of the wall in the family room, and redo my really outdated kitchen.

    That would come in SOOOOOOO Handy! We came home from vacation to a FLOODED home. A water supply line in the kitchen broke and we have tons of damage! The $500 would help us cover what insurance won’t cover!

    God Bless You!

    Gimme that $500! We’ve just gotten married and there is so much we could use for our house that Lowe’s carries. Paint, molding, plants, outdoor light, a new bathroom sink and vanity, a new bathtub and more! I think we could spend this $500 rather fast now that I list it all out.

    I would use part of it to purchase a new sink for my vanity that cracked when I dropped something in it while cleaning.

    Also, I would like to buy some supplies to organize my closet. Oh, the possibilities!!
