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!

    I work for a university so I’m lucky enough that I do get to enjoy a spring break every year! I’d really like to go back to Colorado next spring. Nothing like a week in mountains!

    If I could take a spring break, I would stay in a city I’ve never been to before (preferably, one in an awesome place, like San Francisco) and explore it all week with my husband.

    GIMME A BREAK!

    But see, that’s the problem with being an adult. Even with a week “off,” there are so many grown-up responsibilities. I should weed! And get stuff done around the house! And organize the files! And and and… You never get to make a blanket fort or play kick-the-can or play with a stick in the campfire or have a slumber party and dance around in your PJs. It’s always work, work, worry, worry.

    it’s hard to say what i would want to do because this is my last year as a student and next year will be my first without a spring break. i can imagine i would want to spend a little time at home and a little while away on vacay- somewhere warm and sunny for sure.

    I would sit back, relax and do nothing. Hang outside in the sunshine that’s been peeking around the clouds in Oregon, drinking tea and reading books. Spending time with family. Just taking a real break!
