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! It’s a toss-up for me- I’d either head to somewhere warm, or just chill out at home.

    I would have a hard time choosing between beach, working on the new house, and taking a road trip and visiting all the yummy eateries we don’t have around here (like In-N-Out! I have daily cravings and have contemplated moving back to California just for the In-N-Out!)

    GIMME A BREAK! My fiance and I would take a trip out west. We’ve both never been to the Grand Canyon so it’d be the perfect way to spend our spring break.

    I would so gladly stay at the beach (only an hour’s drive away.) There is a little beach house we like to rent from a friend with a long pier. We love to fish and watch the sun set … sigh.

    GIMME A BREAK! I would hop on a plane to somewhere sunny and warm, Vegas or Florida maybe. Or… I would be an adult and tackle my list of To Do’s, like painting the laundry room, putting new handles on the kitchen cabinets, and shopping for furniture for our newly remodeled family room.

    I would do a little of everything. Relax by the beach, invite friends for a party at said beach house, and probably rent some jet skis or something fun. Everything all in one and plenty of time to relax and soak in the sun.

    If every adult got a spring break, I would spend mine at a tranquil lake house. I would turn my phone off and bring a stack of fashion magazines, tabloids, and my dog and just kick back and relax! I’m more relaxed just thinking about it!
