***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.

I went shopping on Black Friday at 4am and scored a $298 HP laptop for my teenage son! He has no idea as I keep telling him he’ll have to wait til college for a laptop. I couldn’t pass that deal up!
For myself I’d love to have one of those TJ Maxx/Marshall gift cards! Love those stores.

I’m excited to receive some items from wedding registry that we didn’t get, like the rest of our flatware and every day dishes, maybe a food processor or a good set of knives. I’d also like a g/c to get some clothes and some yummy smelling perfume. My husband is getting a new work outfit or two from me (his request), a circular saw, some first edition books, and a couple video games he’s had his eye on.

I am so excitied to give this Taggie stuffed dog to my 2 year old niece. She is just starting to talk and one of her words is dog, dog, mostly because she loves dogs. And her security blanket is actually the tag of a blanket, she loves to suck on the tag! So a dog full of tags is right up her alley, it is like they made it for her.

What I most desperately want is a new kitchen knife block. The current one I have is ten years old and the knives are blunt, blunt, blunt.
What I’m most excited to give is the Love Comes Softly DVD set to my daughter. She loves the books and movies and wishes she lived in pioneer times. I know she’s going to be thrilled, especially since I told her I couldn’t afford it. Haha!
