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.

    My husband and I are buying a new camera for ourselves for Christmas this year. With a little one on the way it seemed like a good investment! My sister and I teamed up to buy our father an antique ice saw. Strange yes, but he has wanted one for his office for a long time and we finally found a good one! (it will match his harpoon from a few years ago)

    Maxx Me! I’m most excited to give a training toilet to my son, because having him potty-trained by the time his brother is born would be AWESOME. Plus, he seemed to really like the one we saw at Target so I do think he would get some joy out of it. ;) For me, I’d most like new tires for my old car. I’m kind of practical when it comes to Christmas gifts, obviously!

    I’m hoping to get a lovely pair of Sorel snowboots (love that duck boot thing is trendy again — so practical!). And most excited to shop for my sister’s prezzies. She’s the most fun because we have the same exact taste, so I’m mostly shopping for things to borrow from her later.

    As far as decorating goes, we’re looking forward to getting a little tabletop Christmas tree. The last two years we haven’t had one at all, so it will be nice to put it up with a couple ornaments.

    As for gifts, my husband and I are getting a Wii and some games (it’s joint between the two sets of parents)! It should be lots of fun.

    I am super-excited to give all the handmade items I’ve been making for the last month or so. I love seeing all of my hard work bring a smile to the recipient!
