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 MEEE! I was so excited to purchase the only thing I wanted for myself this Christmas…Two Bath & Body Works candles. They are normally $20 each but on Black Friday they were TWO FOR $20! Score!

    I am most exited to give my family and friends some English Toffee I make every year. My mom taught me how to make it when I was young and I love carrying on the tradition. :)

    I THOUGHT I wanted a Nike + Sportband, but decided against it with a few negative reviews on Zappos. I’d really like a bottle of my favorite perfume (Clean Shower Fresh) or a plush faux fur throw from Pottery Barn.

    I’m most excited to give my fiance a pair of funny sneaker slippers since he always wedges his feet into mine. :)

    There really isn’t anything like the magic of Christmas, is there?

    MAXX ME! I just got a new job so some new clothes and shoes are in order! Every year at Christmas my family sponsors a unit at a non-profit/rehab/special needs childrens hospital, instead of buying gifts for eachother everyone sponsors a child in the unit and as a family we chip in for “big ticket” items. Its so rewarding to know that the gifts are much needed, appreciated and loved!
