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! At the top of my list…a new camera. I am most excited to give my sister her Advent quilt that I made this year. I’m hand making a little gift for each day. She does such amazing handmade gifts, she deserves to receive some. Here is a picture of the quilt:

    I’m pretty stoked about the new wireless printer I’m getting from my husband. We’re both excited to be giving his little brother a gift card to The Home Depot. He’s broke and completely renovating a junky old house, so it’ll be much appreciated.

    I’m excited to give my baby boy some John Deere tractor toys, my daughter a new bike, and my husband…well, we’re paying down debt this year. So, we’re weird that way.

    I’d love a new full sized food processor or one of those nifty hand blenders. But hey, I’d just take some time to get a pedicure…

    Well, in a dream world, where we got really expensive gifts for each other (or from anyone…) I’d love a new camera lens and an ipad. But, they’re both too pricey for us–we try to keep Christmas small!

    I’m doing a lot of homemade gifts for nieces and nephews this year and I’m REALLY excited about that!

    I really want a pair of pink glitter TOMS for myself. We’re giving very little actual gifts this year – books for my daughter, niece, & nephew. The rest of holiday money we’d normally spend for gifts is going to give clean water by drilling wells through http://adventconspiracy.org/

    I moved into my own apartment after having roommates (or living at home) a month before Christmas last year, so most of my presents were very practical. This year, I’m looking forward to being surprised with more “fun” gifts!
