For our big two year blogiversary and we’re celebrating with one of the biggest freebies we’ve ever freebied: a $500 Lowe’s gift card.
Did that sink in yet? It still hasn’t for us. When we started hunting for the perfect blogiversary prize a few weeks ago we never thought we’d land something so exciting. It’s like Lowe’s is giving one of you the chance to take on a big project and they’re footing the bill. And we couldn’t be more thrilled to be giving it away.
We probably don’t need to remind you of all the items you could snag during a $500 shopping blitz at Lowe’s – paint, lighting, power tools, holiday decor, flooring. Heck, you could even get a new dishwasher or something. So in case you’re having any trouble picturing where you’d put five hundred Lowe’s dollars, allow us to lend our expertise (that is, our money-spending assistance). Here are a few items that we’ve got our eyes on:
This Idylis air purifier: Since the cold weather will have us closing up our windows and doors soon, the HEPA filter on this baby keeps indoor air from getting stale and could really help Sherry as we get into allergy season.
A new lawn mower: I know the season’s ending, but I’ve had it up to here (picture my hand above my head) with the used mower we bought when we moved back in 2006 (let’s just say it’s no longer self-propelling). Lowe’s online Mower Selector tool helped turn up a bunch of options that we could snag for well under 500 beans.
A cool bathroom sink: With a full bathroom redo moving closer to the top of our to-do list we’re already starting to fantasize about where we can add some special touches, like plopping a vessel sink on top of a thrifted piece of furniture-turned-vanity. And Lowe’s has a bunch of awesome vessel sink options.
I’ve also been contemplating adding some outdoor path lighting or taking our garage organization a step further with some more sophisticated shelving. But we’d better quit letting our minds wander because we’re not the ones who get the $500 gift card… one of you does! Here’s how:
- PRIZE: A $500 Lowe’s gift card (in case you forgot)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GIMME THAT $500” (why dance around it, right?) and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us what project you might spend the prize on. Surely we’re not the only ones daydreaming about where $500 could go (and no, we won’t be picking a winner based on this answer – it’ll still be random)
- CONTEST CLOSES: Thursday, September 24th at 8pm EST (that’s an extra day!)
- WINNER: One lucky lady or gent
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the USA (but Lowe’s loving Canadians with friends or family in the states can enter and we’ll send it to your US relative/friend who can forward it on to you).
- THE USUAL: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Joy George says
GIMME THAT $500
I would first buy my husband a grill; he’s been wanting one for a LONG time. Then I would give the remaining money to my parents, as they have been remodeling their house for years now. I’m proud of them for doing it in stages – only when they have the money, so that they can stay out of debt. This would be a great anniversary gift for them!!
JOY
Melissa McDaniel says

Liz Koepp says
GIMMIE THAT $500!
Wow! Where do I start? We’re in the middle of a massive kitchen reno and need some extra dough to finish the job. We could use it for a title backsplash or to finish or new kitchen pantry. (A.ka. the closet.)
marylynn says
GIMME THAT $500!
I’m dreaming of an apron front kitchen sink to finish up our kitchen makeover!
Rachel says
GIMME THAT $500!!
I’d totally use the money to renovate the 3/4 master bath. The shower’s started leaking and saturating the walls downstairs below the bathroom. And there’s no window in the tiny little claustrophobic room. A nice drop-in skylight would be awesome!

GIMME THAT $500………please. . .
I would rip up our front lawn that the grubs are feasting on! I call our lawn “The Toupee”. It’s just dead grass that sits on the dirt for ugly decoration. I would fix the soil and lay new seed.

We are house hunting and will be buying a fixer-upper, we will need to spend some serious cash fixing it up, that Lowe’s card would help make a dent (once we rip up old shag carpeting and tear down the wall paper).

My husband and I have soooo many projects on our list that we could use this gift card for. We could use it toward new kitchen counter tops (currently we have olive green marbly old laminate – horrible!), or finish our patio off with some new patio furniture, or even organize my closet. So many things to do! Thanks for being such a great inspiration to me!
Venessa says
