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 would love to get some nice leather boots this winter, but also have been looking around for a nice shaggy white area rug for my family room. We just moved into our first house and own baby is starting to crawl, but only have bare hard wood floors. Our gifts for our nieces and nephews will be learning toys. So far we have the ride peddle video game that is a stand still bike that way our nephew will be exercising while learning. We were told by a nice lady at the store that her son learned to ride his bike from practice on this toy.
My husband is a avid redskins fan, so I have collected Redskins memorabilia for the man cave that I am planning to make for him in our garage. I wish you guys a very Merry Christmas, and happy shopping! This is officially my favorite blog of all time.

Well, the top gift request for me this year is some nice leather gloves. It doesn’t get too cold down here in GA, but every now and then the steering wheel just gets too cold :-)
As for the fun part…I’m looking forward to giving my grandma a pre-arranged set of wall picture frames so she can put up new family photos!
