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 saw a little tiny print press I’m putting on my list…and as for giving, I LOVE giving homemade things to people who are stoked about them. My FIL has been hinting about when he’s going to get some pickles for the last several months – so he’ll be quite surprised to see how many he gets. :)

“MAXX ME”
I am looking forward to getting a new lunch bag tote. Nice-sized but even though it’s not cheap (around $30), it’s xmas and I really could use an insulated lunch bag! I’m looking forward to giving gifts I found at Kohl’s online (used free shipping coupons, 20% off coupons and rebates)!!
deana says
MAXX ME, MAXX ME, MAXX ME! I would love to get a massage certificate in my stocking this year. I have not had a massage in over five years and I was pregnant then so it wasn’t a full massage.
Lara Needham says
Maxx me!
My husband & I are most excited about passing on some of our childhood toys to our kids this year (old Transformers & Strawberry Shortcake)! (Do we win some kind of pack-rat award for that?:)…
If I were thinking big for myself…I would love a sewing machine…
Thanks for offering this giveaway!
Grace says
Maxx Me!
For Christmas, I’m hoping for either a small camera tripod or a donation towards my hope of having my own Final Cut Pro – I’m a film student and not having to trek to studio would be lovely!
I’m excited to surprise my roommates with little gifts they’ve been yearning for all year. Little did they know I’ve been keeping tabs!
Tricia Jones says
MAXX ME!
My husband and I don’t exchange gifts on Christmas. We prefer to use the money for gifts for our sons, Jon age 15 and AJ age 11.
I am most excited to give my boys new TVs for their rooms. They did not ask for them on their Christmas list, so I think they will be very surprised!!
Good luck with the move! Happy Holidays!
Shelley @ Green Eggs & Hamlet says
MAXX ME!

We just bought our first house, so I have about 100 house related things on my list this year. Otherwise, a new camera would be awesome.

MAXX ME! I am so excited to be giving our kiddos the Wii this year. They have patiently waited for a whole year and through friends getting it, etc! The thing I would like to get most is – appropriately enough – the Wii Fit Plus… for me. ;)
