Fab Freebie: Merry Maxx-mas

***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.

TJMaxx Xmas Stuff

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).

TJMaxx Our House

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.

    This year I’m making a real effort to give unique gifts to family. Shopping places like Etsy for handmade or vintage finds is keeping me busy. That’s not to say I wouldn’t mind a gift card to Marshalls or T.J. Maxx…there are always plenty of items for the apartment or for my wardrobe there.

I’m also excited about spending my first Christmas as a mom to my awesome will-be-six-months-on Christmas Eve girl, Melana. I’m also excited I get to spend it with all my nieces and siblings who are flying in from Texas. It’s our first Christmas all together EVER and we are so excited. That’s the best gift of all.

    Maxx Me! I have told everyone that if they absolutely must get me something, it needs to be consumable, and that I am doing the same. There’s just too much cr/ap in the world already, and I don’t wish to be a part of this over-consumerist culture any longer.
    However, if I win these cards, I will be excited to pass them on to someone as a gift this season!
