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.

    We want a new duvet cover for our new bed in our new home that we are moving into the week before christmas!! I’m most excited to give my nieces and nephew their presents. They are always so appreciative and are the happiest kids on Christmas day! It’s the best gift to just be with them and share in their excitement for the day.

    MAXX ME! I love finding things specific to each person, usually things not right off the bat. For instance, last year I gave my boss a book on historic planes (he’s a pilot) as opposed to something animal related (also a vet). I’ve already bought my mom and sister goodies from some of the Thanksgiving sales!

    I’ve got a Wilton cake decorating set on my wish list so I can see if I still remember the cake decorating lessons I took earlier this fall at the library. Also excited about the upcoming delivery of our new dishwasher to replace the 10+ yr old junky one that died the day before Thanksgiving.

    I think my almost 2-yo son will love the Little People farm & market we picked up for a fantastic price at a consignment sale!
