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 love being surprised by gifts, but I have asked my hubby for a cardigan and my parents for one of those African handmade paper bead necklaces. I am most excited to shop for the name I drew for a Secret Santa gift exchange!

    Top on my list is a Kindle from Amazon & some e-books (can’t wait to go digital & have an easier time moving around my book collection from house to house!). I’m most excited to be giving the stockings my husband and I do every year for his mother, aunt, sister & brother (and their significant others)! A hold over from childhood that we just love to continue!

    et’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?

    I’m most excited about the little .22 rifle I’m giving my husband (he’s wanted one for years and I’m not a fan of guns in the house so it’s a big deal) and I’m SUPER jazzed about the Nook my husband is giving me. Yeah, we both know about our gifts. We are TERRIBLE secret-keepers.

    I am graduating with a Masters of Architecture this December, so that is my Christmas present to myself! For someone else, I purchased a plane ticket for my sister to come out to visit me because she can’t afford it currently… so maybe that is a gift for me too! We are both really excited!

    Thanks!

    Even though we’ve been in our house for a year + a couple months, we are just now getting around to figuring out our formal dining room. I bought an antique church pew this weekend and we are getting a table (I hope) from my mother in law….however, a TJ Maxx/Marshall’s gift card could really help buy all the little odds and ends that really make a room special!
