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.

    MAXX ME!

    my birthday is the week before christmas, so i am not allowed to buy myself anything this time of year. HOWEVER… now that i am a full-time grad student, i am spending a LOT more time in my condo/igloo and the sock collection could use some serious beefing-up.

    the best gift i have found so far is president obama’s kids book. mom is going to blow her top.

    As long as we’re not talking about credit cards . . . MAXX ME!

    Gifts this year are up in the air, actually. Thanks to the distance, we’re going to spend Christmas with just the two of us, as opposed to traveling to be with one of our families. Not sure whether it’d be best to send gifts via mail ($$$), wait until we see them (???), or just to send a lot of baked goods to each family. I’m leaning toward #3!

    MAXX ME! So let’s see. Top of the list to myself was a new sewing machine, which I bought on Black Friday because my other one blew up and died Weds night and I had a pile of holiday sewing to do.

    I’m excited to give everything I’ve made so far. I’ve just learned screen printing, so I’ve been making things with my fabric and am very excited to share that with everyone.

    For the first time in 3 or 4 years, I’m going to treat myself and get an iPhone so I can stop lugging my iPod, camera, planner and phone around. And I’m REALLY excited about buying baby stuff for my niece and nephew who arrive next year- is anything more fun than buying for babies? I think not. =)

    I have at the top of my wishlist the most boring items EVER. BUT, I am looking at needs instead of wants this year, so I guess that means I’m an adult!

    I need a set of 10 lb. & a set of 12 lb. hand weights, as well as a new yoga mat AND A NEW MOP! Man… I’m a loser. :)

    I am most excited about the board games I’m giving my boyfriend–more time to nerd out together. However, his mom has amazing home style and is a TJMaxx wizard, so I’m sure she could help me put the gift card to good use–and give us a little bonding time, too.

    With two kids and another on the way, there’s not much I can ask for for Christmas for myself! Although a new purse would be nice! I found some really great toys for my kids though! So I am most excited to see their little faces (4 and 2.5) when they open them!!

    I would really love a new bike or lap top, but I’m not expecting to get them. The best gift for me is to see everyone’s reaction when they see their gift from me and my husband. I love making gifts that I know people will use. This year, we’re going for coasters!
