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.

    I would love to give myself some new boots, but not sure I can justify the expense. That being said, I can’t wait to fill my four-year-old’s Christmas stocking; this is the first year he’s understood stockings and he’s excited already.

    So funny because I’ve been eyeing that silver deer for weeks!

    I’m most excited to give my friend and her 3-year-old son the Star Wars cookie cutters from Williams-Sonoma. She is a HUGE Star Wars nerd, erm, fan :) Her son was Anakin for Halloween and they watch a movie from the series at least once a week, often while making cookies. I HAD to buy them…too cute.

    I haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet (WAY behind this year!!), but I love window shopping until I find the perfect gift for everyone on my list. For the first time in the 6 years we’ve been together, I have the absolute perfect gift for hubby. Usually, I can’t find something that he wants, but this time I’m rocking the house. :) Can’t wait!

But I’m most excited about picking something out for my little brother, who’s not that little any more. He recently turned 18 and started college, so I bet I can find some great things at TJ Maxx or Marshalls for him.
