***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.
- 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

kaitlyn says
Gimme a break! I’d like to go to Brazil, or Germany!
Milly says
GIMME ME A BREAK!!
I would use the break to spend time exploring NYC. Even though I live here, the weekends are not long enough. There are a million little shops and restaurants to explore.
heidi faith says
GIMME A BREAK! 1. Re-watch favorite tv show (pushing daisies). 2. FINALLY watch the BBC Pride & Prejudice. 3. I GUESS I would finish packing. 4. Start a new knitting project! 5. Invite spring breaking girlfriends over for the cozy, stay at home party.
Megan says
GIMME A BREAK!
I have a two week old- so anywhere that would allow me to nap!
Mara T. says
GIMME A BREAK!
If I could have a Spring Break as an adult (and money was no object) I’d go to Hawaii. It’s so peaceful and beautiful there. And it’s just familiar enough that it feels OK to be lazy.
Christina W. says
GIMME A BREAK!
I’d go somewhere warm, sunny, fun, but relaxing and try to find myself again. Being a stay at home mom has left me a little…lost.
Erin says
Gimme a break! One word… MAUI.
Paula says
GIMME A BREAK!” I would totally go to the caribbean.
Missy says
“GIMME A BREAK!”
Anne says
GIMME A BREAK! I think I’d probably stay home and start a project. Or maybe just sleep late and watch TV.
Mandi says
Gimme a break! With so many things on my to-do list, I would probably not do any of them and instead catch up on tv shows, movies, shopping, and sleep.
Grace says
Gimme a break!
I think I’d stay home and make my house homier. You’re inspiring!
Becky says
GIMME A BREAK!
HAWAII- IM DREAMING OF YOU RIGHT NOW!
Celestia says
GIMME A BREAK!
I would go on vacation somewhere all the partying undergrads aren’t.
Worse than not having a break is having one in grad school – we technically have the week off, but we all have so much work to do that it’s not really a break.
Erika says
GIMME A BREAK!
I’d definitely go somewhere exotic – to go SCUBA diving again!
Anne says
GIMME A BREAK!
I would probably spend my days crafting! No joke! I’d catch up on scrapbooking and all the other little ideas I’ve got stored up in my head. Since MN is normally nice this time of year I’d enjoy the spring weather right here at home…now this year is a bit different since we’re supposed to get 6 inches of snow tomorrow! But, that’s okay…I’m a Minnesotan, I can handle it ;)
Jamie says
Gimme a break! I would love to be able to just sleep in undisturbed for a whole week. Have someone watch the kids and take care of the pets and so forth, so I could just have some beautiful, peaceful uninterrupted slumber…that would be so nice.
Samantha says
GIMME A BREAK! I would take a vacation with my family to relax.
Elizabeth says
GIMME A BREAK! I would definitely hit up a beach. Something with an all-inclusive bar, too!

Emmy Helmuth says
“GIMME A BREAK!”
I would go visit my niece all the way over in PA. :( I miss her.
Jill says
Gimme a break! I would definitely go somewhere! For me, staying around at home is nice, but not really the same kind of total break I think I need!
Brettany says
Gimme a break!
I’d stay home and relax…sounds divine!
Megan says
GIMME A BREAK!
I would use the time to visit friends and family that live out of state and that I miss terribly.
Wendy says
GIMME ME A BREAK! Actually, I do get a break, I’m a middle school teacher. Though I did nothing exciting except get all of my dr appts and errands out of the way!
Katie says
GIMME A BREAK!
I would just sit at home and do nothing. Or catch up on house stuff. I would give anything for a week of being at home :)
nellie says
GIMME A BREAK! Despite being way over the entry-age, I’d love to spend spring break at Hogwarts.
Noel says
GIMME A BREAK! And for it to truly be a “break,” I would go somewhere with minimal cell service – a remote beach or cabin in the woods.
Rachel says
GIMME A BREAK!
I’d continue my college spring break tradition of visiting a new city. While most of my friends were going somewhere sunny and warm, I got to visit seattle and chicago to “try on” some cities I’d love to someday live in.
Emily says
Gimme a break… to the beach!
Jill says
Gimme a Break!
Since this is absolute fantasy – grab my passport, head to the airport and see what’s headed out.
Carolyn says
Gimme a break!
I’m actually a grown up on Spring Break. Yay for teaching!
Kelly says
GIMME A BREAK! I would love to have a huge backyard cookout/party with all my friends. Now that everyone is “grown up” with kids it’s so hard to get everyone together.

Melissa says
GIMME A BREAK! I am an adult that gets spring breaks–an awesome benefit of being in academia!!!
Erin says
GIMME A BREAK!
As nice as a tropical/warm getaway sounds… I really think I would instead what a ‘staycation’ at home. Get all those nasty spring cleaning tasks out of the way; wash the windows, weed the garden, etc.
Katie says
GIMME A BREAK! Relaxing at home sounds good to me right about now.
Riane says
Gimme a break!
All I need for a vacation is a beach. Nothing better than burying your toes in some sand.
Michelle says
GIMME A BREAK! I would go back to Europe for three weeks and see all of the sights I missed last time. Or I would stay home and try to finally find the house we want to buy!
Carissa says
Gimme a break! I just got a new office at work, so this would be awesome.
I’d spend it DIYing at home, of course. :-)
