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.

    I cannot wait to open my Canon Rebel Christmas morning – I hope.

    My absolute favorite thing about Christmas in general is giving it doesn’t matter what it is!

    Christmas decorations — pillows and serving platters, to be exact — are at the top of my list for myself.

    As for what I’m most excited to give, I got handpainted Santa figures that are made from 18th-century chocolate molds for both my grandma and my mom. I’m actually giving the gifts to them early so they don’t have to wait a year to enjoy them. I can’t wait!

    I’m terrible at making Christmas lists for myself, so I don’t have ANYTHING on my list yet. (Maybe I should look through all the comments for inspiration!) However, I’m excited to be giving a few things that I found super-cheap at thrift stores that will definitely make the recipients happy. :)

    I’ve had my eye on some Fresh Fig Apricot perfume, so I hope that sneaks its way into my stocking. I’m most looking forward to my 8 year old unwrapping the “real, but for kids” night-vision goggles I scored for an absolute steal on Black Friday. He’s really into spy stuff so he’s going to be crazy excited!

    I’m dying for new camera equipment, but it’s pricey…and so I have my fingers crossed that EVERYONE buys me gift cards to B&H Photo. :)

    The gift I’m most excited to give is one that I made for a friend, and I like it so much that I just may have to make one for myself, too! I’d say more, but she reads this too, so shhhhhh!
