***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see who won!***
You know we love a deal. Especially around the holidays when it’s so easy to bleed money. Which is why we’re psyched to have two of our favorite discount stores, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, here to help us kick off the whole holiday shopping scene by handing over two $50 gift cards that can be spent on gifts, festive seasonal decor, or whatever else tickles your fancy.
We’ve always loved snagging cheap finds for our house at both stores – like the nailhead trimmed ottoman in our bedroom (from T.J. Maxx) and just about every pillow in our den (from Marshalls).
But enough about us. Here’s how you can enter to win one of the two gift cards that are up for grabs:
- PRIZE: A $50 gift card good at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MAXX ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …let’s talk about holiday shopping lists. What’s on the top of your list for yourself? And what are you most excited to be giving?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 1st at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 48 contiguous United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
******************************
And our two very lucky winners (as selected by random.org) are… Anna (who’s got her eye on boots for herself and a globe for her bro) and Kellie C (who’s looking forward to the painting and wainscoting being gifted by her husband) Congrats you two!
Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from T.J. Maxx and Marshalls.

I’m asking santa for a pressure caner this year. I’m looking to start canning my own low acid foods.

My mom is about to undergo a bone marrow translant to treat leukemia – so what i wish for most is her good health and quick return home to her roost. I wouldn’t turn down a marc jacobs bag in the meantime, though.

I am most excited about giving my little girl the American Girl doll she has asked Santa for this year. I can’t wait to see how thrilled she will be! Because it is a big purchase, Mommy and Daddy are just getting little gifts this year. I am hoping for some new slippers! :)
abbie says

To receive: I’m looking forward to purchasing three more faux wood blinds to finish the living room (that’s our Christmas gift for each other).
To give: I’m looking forward to giving my son a nice set of pots and pans, as he is a brand new HOME OWNER – and he’s done it all on his own (he’s 26). Yes, he actually wants some decent pots and pans! lol
Hollie says
MAXX ME!!
I want a new lens for my camera! :)
Katrina says
MAXX ME!!
right now an SLR camera would have to be at the top of my list, but that would be a pretty expensive Christmas present, so in reality, I would love a new pair of slippers :)
kathy from ct says
maxx me
seriously, 4,994 sounds like a winner doesn’t it.?
Viv @ The Eclectic Life says
MAXX ME BABY!
The top of my X-mas wish list is a set of unordinary bookshelves. Not obscure, or dynamically original, rather, a unique stain or just something I haven’t thought of before, preferably vintage looking. Love the site!
Alexis says
MAXX ME!
My husband and I hare hoping against hope for a new laptop this Christmas. Our current one is “touch sensitive” so it stays in once place (it’s hooked to our tv) which is the complete opposite function of a laptop.
Holly says
MAXX ME!
2 side lamps for our bedroom. I found two ceramic vases at T.J Maxx that I fell in love with, so we are going to do a diy project and turn them into lamps. Can’t wait!
I am excited to give my kids a cardboard playhouse that they can color:)
Jessica F. says
“MAXX ME!”

MAXX ME! Instead of exchanging gifts with my boyfriend, we are buying a new tv :)
Erica says
“MAXX ME!”
Jill says
MAXX ME!
I look forward to giving all the handmade Christmas gifts that I made for friends and family!
Susie says
MAXX ME! All the stuff I’d *really* love is huuuuge, house-related stuff — have our LR and DR floors refinished, new windows in the sunporch, re-insulate the laundry/pantry area of the kitchen. Contractors should offer gift certificates…my whole family could pitch in on one of those!
Liz E. says
MAXX ME!
I need some holiday decor to make our place festive!
Lisa says
MAXX ME! Clothes for me – I’ve lost 12 pounds, which is a whole size! I’m awfully excited to see the kids open gifts that they asked for – Star Wars legos, and a guitar. ;)
MaryBeth says
MAXX ME!
I put a few books and handbags on my wishlist, but what I’d really love would be to move out of our apartment and into our own home!
As far as what I am excited to be giving … my husband put a few things on his wish list that I plan to get him (magazine subscription, beer bottle holder, a toy helicopter) and I hope he likes them!
Sara says
MAXX ME!
I want lots of new Christmas decorations and wrapping paper!
Michelle Z. says
MAXX ME! My husband and I bought our big gift for each other back in September… and second furbaby to add to our family and he makes us smile every day!
Laura says
Maxx Me!!
I honestly don’t have giving/getting plans yet. We’re scaling way back on gifts this year in my family which will be nice. Hopefully we’ll do lots of cool stuff like buying people calves and goats and such that need them in other countries. :)
