Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: A Break From Boring

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

    Would definitely head somewhere exotic! Yesterday it snowed, today we’re sitting at the freezing mark. The kids’ water table has frozen over, I haven’t been able to wear shorts once, this Okie living in Canada is so.over.winter.

    Ideally a tropical vacation, but realistically I’d probably end up cleaning my basement and garage. And yes, that would take AT LEAST a week!

    If I got a 1 week spring break, I’d send the hubs away with the kids and finally refinish our floors. There’s never a good time to do it. Does that make me a weirdo?

    I would like to say somewhere exotic, but with two small boys, …probably not. We would most likely spend a lot of time outside, watching our oldest son pretend to be Buzz Lightyear….Ha.

    I have been LOOKING for a place like this! Yay, thank you :)

    This year, I would probably chill at home. Or take a road trip to see my moma- nothing too exciting. If I had one every year though? ooooh the possibilities!

    Thanks for the opportunity!
