***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.

“MAXX ME!”
The only thing I want for Christmas is money. Boring, but I am determined to pay down some debt and save money. Guess that makes me an adult.
As far as what to give, I am excited to go shopping with my husband for gifts for children in foster care. So fun to buy lots of toys!
KM says
MAXX ME!!!

Top on my list: an old antique-looking ladder to hang my sofa throws on each rung.
Favorite gift for other people: went to Kathmandu, Nepal a few weeks back to shoot a short film with my husband and we did all our xmas shopping there in their markets! Excited about everything we got–but mostly the SUPER cheap pashmina’s for my mom, sister & sister-in-law…

However, I’m so excited to be giving my boys a Wii this year – so we can not only play fun family games, but also watch all our favorite movies on Netflix instantly on our tv! Because let’s face it, it’s just not very fun to cuddle around a computer screen in the kitchen, watching movies…
