***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.

At the top of my list is pretty much any jewelry from Dogeared – especially the Karma line! But more than that I’m looking forward to giving my co-workers notebooks that I designed just for them!
Nicole says

Giving is my favorite part about the holidays. I love to shop and finding a good bargain! I have no real needs this year–but if Santa could pay my grad school loans I’d be in heaven! ;)
B Mom says
MAXX ME!! (pretty please?) my Christmas list includes a new watch, warm slippers and a robe!

Christie says
MAXX ME!
For me, we just bought a new house and could really use some draperies! I want the insulated kind because a few of our windows aren’t double-paned and I want to save energy. I am most excited about giving my sister (and my two-month-old neice) a beaba baby food maker so that she can make yummy baby foods. :)

Kari says
MAXX ME!
We’ve actually cancelled all the gift-giving this year, because none of us need to spend the money and none of us need anything. Our first baby is due January 3rd, so our wish list is mostly just things for him.
Shannon says
MAXX ME!
I love TJ Maxx. You can always get some unique finds there!
Jamie Lewis says
Maxx me! I am hoping I get those great wall vases you have in your living room from CB2! I can’t wait to give my little sister the boots I got her!
Christina says
MAXX ME!
I’d love a massage table…seriously. I have 7 children who love massages, and though my hunk of a hubby denies that he ‘wants’ one, he never complains when I begin. But at my age, my knees kill me when I’m kneeling on the ground, so while it would benefit those getting massaged, it would make my gift to them much more enjoyable as well!
My favorite gift going out this year is to my 10.5 year old daughter. For her gift, she and I are going on an overnight trail ride together. What little girl isn’t madly in love with horses?
samantha carver says
MAXX ME!
Top of my Christmas list is more “grown-up” furniture. The hubby and I just purchased our 1st home and are slowly replacing our “hand-me-downs”

MAXX ME! The top item on my wish list this Christmas is an oversized wooden mirror at IKEA (much like the one in your bedroom). On the practical side, more Rubbermaid glass dishware (so I can toss out the old plastic stuff)….. if I win, I can use the $$ at TJ Maxx for the dishware and grab the mirror, too!
