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.

Sara Jane says

I love TJ Maxx and Marshall’s, especially because I live in Chicago, an expensive city! I have bought pillows, furniture, lamps…..basically everything from our apartment has come from both stores. I don’t really have a list for this year, but I could definitely come up with one during a shopping trip at either store!

Jeni C says
Maxx Me!! Santa already brought me a new couch from IKEA for our playroom/sunroom. I am excited about giving my kids their gifts. I would write what they are but they are standing within feet of me and they can all officially read this year:)
Amy B. says
MAXX ME!
I’m actually super glad to be taking a break this year from much Christmas giving/getting, as it tends to stress me out. Am quite pregnant these days, and with a 1.5 year old to chase after, the fewer items on my to-do list, the better.
Looking forward to making cookies for our neighbors with the kiddo, and just being together with family.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Jenn says
MAXX Me please! I recently moved into my first apartment and I’m currently living on a futon instead of a couch and some Tupperware boxes instead of a nightstand & dresser. I’m very excited for some cash to begin making this place feel like home =) On the flip side, my mother is going to fall over when she sees her new Keurig set. She sits with a little one cup filter to make everyone’s coffee each morning.
Lori says
MAXX ME!
I do enjoy shopping at TJ Maxx for discounted Puma clothes for [myself &] my niece who is 5. I picked her up a 3 piece track suit last year after Christmas for just $14.99! She’ll be getting that this year along with a toy or two. :D As for gifts for myself, I don’t really have anything on my list this year. Maybe just home improvement store gift cards.. LoL. We are painting the house in the spring, and maybe painting/redecorating the office.
Tricia says
MAXX Me!! I travel a lot with my job and everywhere that I travel I have to find the TJ Maxx or Marshall’s in the area. Every store carries something a little bit different. I would love to get a Flip video camera to start capturing our growing family!
Kaprice says
MAXX ME! This year I am downsizing/moving so I am hoping for some fun new clothes that will be perfect for my internship!
Rebekah says
Maxx Me!
Hubs and I are getting “each other” a new camera for Christmas. Seeing as we have continually lost ours on & off for the past oh, two years, here’s to hoping that we can keep track of the new one!
The present I’m actually MOST excited about is one for my new almost-sister-in-law. A fabulously quirky print from Etsy with a vintage cat printed on 18th century book paper. So perfect for her :)
Thanks for doing this!
michelle h says
MAXX ME! I’m most interested in getting some letterpress state bird prints from dutchdoor.etsy.com…one for each of the 6 states we’ve lived! I got my hubby some prescription sunglasses from justeyewear.com for a grand total of $22 shipped! Super excited about that!
Kiki says
Maxx Me!
I’m hoping for a cool new birdfeeder! There’s nothing like winter birdwatching!
I’m getting my husband a backpacking hammock. When we go out together, we use the tent. But for his solo trips, he dreams of sleeping under the stars.
Victoria says
MAXX ME! :) I’d really love a new vacuum cleaner! One that will pick up curly dog hair! My favorite gift to give this year will be to one of my bff’s who is a mommy to be! Just dont know what im giving her yet.
von says
Maxx me! I’m most excited to giveaway my homemade pillow this year.
Erin D says
MAXX ME! I’m really excited to give my one year old a set of maracas. He’s into shaking things and dancing along, so this should be a great gift.
Rebecca Foxworth says
MAXX ME!
An iPad is at the top of MY list. But the top of my HOUSE’s list is a removal of the carpet, and installation of a good floor, and a refresh of curtains in the living room.
Erica S says
MAXX ME! This year I don’t really have any gift wishes. We are remodeling our upstairs bedroom & I just want it to be done so we can put our kiddos in separate bedrooms. My favorite gifts to give are all of the gifts for my children. My daughter is two and she “gets” Christmas for the first time this year so it will be exciting to see her reaction.
Evangeline says
MAXX ME! I would really love to have a fur throw for my couch and I want to get my husband a grilling utensils set :)
