Fab Freebie: A Break From Boring

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries  – see who won below!***

According to random.org, our two giveaway winners are… Amy I. (who’d enjoyed a weekend away and then a few days at home for her pretend spring break) and DebbieRN (who’d go to Sanibel Island).

Don’t you wish there was a no-adult-left-behind official grown-up spring break? Since many of the kids in our county are out of school this week, it made us think about how nice it would be if every adult scored the same week-long break from the office grind. Luckily this week’s prize from The Office Stylist promises to inject some fun (and function) to your desk job. They’ve got loads of tips and services for amping up your workspace, including an online shop that’s stuffed with colorful and stylish organizational items  – from floral file folders to ceramic business card holders and everything in between. And they’re hooking two lucky winners up with $50 cards to spend however they’d like.

 

Sorting With Style Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $50 gift certificate towards Sorting With Style by The Office Stylist
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GIMME A BREAK!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … pretend that every grown up got a spring break. What would you do? Would you go somewhere exotic? Would you just relax at home? Or would you throw a huge party for all the other on-break adults?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 20th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States and Canada!
  • 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 on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Sorting With Style

    GIMME A BREAK!!

    Recently, I’ve made it a goal to go to at least one new place each year (and preferably travel alone too!) Last year I traveled to the Bahamas by myself and stayed with a complete stranger – best birthday I ever had! If I had a week-long spring break, I’d check another place off my list – Nashville, New Orleans, New Zealand, Thailand, the list goes on…

    Well, since I am imagining I get a paid week off, I will go ahead and imagine that I have enough money to do what I like with that week. So I imagine I would alternate going globetrotting to the many exotic locations I still want to visit, and just going to the beach and relaxing with a cold beverage for a week.

    GIMME A BREAK! If money was no object I would fly myself and closest friends and family to a rented house on the beach at The Baths on Virgin Gorda- my favorite island ever. Disney would be a lot of fun too- as long as it wasn’t during Spring break!!!
