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.

    The top of my list this year is…a new sweater. Yeah, I’m boring, I know. The gift I’m most excited to give is a Monster High doll to my daughter. She thinks they’re sold out EVERYWHERE across the nation so she’ll be VERY surprised to open that one up! I can’t wait!

    I’ve been saving up for a good dslr for months now so that’s what I’m most excited to get myself (although I probably won’t actually get it until mid-January). I’m REALLY excited to give away tiramisu cupcakes to all the parents of the kids I babysit. I’ve been perfecting the recipe for days now. Eating the experiments has been great. :D

    Top of my list is more of my fiesta ware because one of my colors has been discontinued (the horror!) and the gift I’m most excited about giving is a smoker grill to my husband. But I’m also excited about giving my two oldest sons the Harry Potter castle lego set. They are going to be out of their gourds.

Our girls have wanted to redo their rooms, so I am painting them. I am also scouring Craigslist for items I could refinish for their rooms. :) Thank you so much for the opportunity to win! Both daughters found things for their rooms at TJ Maxx this last weekend.

    I don’t have my hopes up for anything in particular this year. My best gift to myself was putting my entire holiday bonus straight to savings and looking forward to putting it towards moving in a few months. Being the only one of my four sisters with a job this holiday season, I’m giving cozy wonderful slippers so my sisters can pamper themselves a bit.
