Fab Freebie: Merry Maxx-mas

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see who won!***

You know we love a deal. Especially around the holidays when it’s so easy to bleed money. Which is why we’re psyched to have two of our favorite discount stores, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, here to help us kick off the whole holiday shopping scene by handing over two $50 gift cards that can be spent on gifts, festive seasonal decor, or whatever else tickles your fancy.

TJMaxx Xmas Stuff

We’ve always loved snagging cheap finds for our house at both stores – like the nailhead trimmed ottoman in our bedroom (from T.J. Maxx) and just about every pillow in our den (from Marshalls).

TJMaxx Our House

But enough about us. Here’s how you can enter to win one of the two gift cards that are up for grabs:

  • PRIZE: A $50 gift card good at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MAXX ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …let’s talk about holiday shopping lists. What’s on the top of your list for yourself? And what are you most excited to be giving?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 1st at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 48 contiguous United States
  • 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 Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

And our two very lucky winners (as selected by random.org) are… Anna (who’s got her eye on boots for herself and a globe for her bro) and Kellie C (who’s looking forward to the painting and wainscoting being gifted by her husband) Congrats you two!

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from T.J. Maxx and Marshalls.

    MAXX ME PLEASE!!! I would SO appreciate a gift card, as my husband has banned me from getting any more furniture for the time being. At the top of my wishlist are storage ottomans to help hide the clutter and add storage to our home. I’m most excited about giving away wedding pictures to my entire family. We scored some awesome dollar store frames and printed the pictures ourselves at Target!

    MAXX ME!! The only thing i’ve asked for this year was an oil change for my car. With a few home improvement projects lurking (wallpapering the bedroom!), i’m trying to keep things practical. That being said, the gift i’m most excited to give is to my boyfriend, a couples massage (yes, its for me too!). He’s done almost all of the work financially and physically when we purchased our home together a little over a year ago so I wanted to give him (read: us) a little reward for a job well done.

    The top of my list is a new macbook computer. It’s a tall order, but since our life revolves around photos and other design-related projects (much like yours seems to be), it is pretty much a necessity!

    And I am most excited to give my dad some new tools that he has been eyeing. He is always coming down to help us with our house projects, so it’s high time we reciprocate the love!! :)
