***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.
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).
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! I don’t really have a Christmas list, because hubs and I forgo gifts for each other in favor of spoiling the kids. But if I have to pick something, I’d love to receive the ridiculously expensive fabric I’ve been wanting to recover my wingback chair in.

Melissa says
MAXX ME!!
Our family is scaling back this year, so instead of trying to give lots of small gifts to everyone, we drew names to focus on gifting for one person. Should be less stressful and more fun to pamper one person at a time!

MAXX ME!
Honestly, all I want for Christmas is a red dress with white ploka dots. That would make me more happy than anything. I’m always more excited to give, but this year I’m so excited to shop for our three month old nephew! Books, toys and itty-bitty baby clothes! It will be so much fun, even if I can’t see him open his gifts.

I’m hoping to talk the hubby into a puppy for the kids (meaning me.) Hasn’t worked yet, but the holidays are all about miracles!
Jennifer says
MAXX ME!!
I’m hoping that rather than spending money on gifts for me this year, my husband saves the money he would have spent to put towards the big vacation we are planning for next year.
As for the gifts I’m most excited about giving, I’m really excited for my neice to open the baby doll cradle that we found for her. At two-years-old, she’s the ultimate girly-girl and I can’t wait to see her reaction.
Sarah Picking says
MAXX ME!
I am hoping to get a shark cordless vacuum so that I can vacuum up dog hair upstairs without lugging our regular vacuum up the stairs each time! I’m most excited to be giving my grandfather a group gift of a new flatscreen tv that he has needed for about 3 years now!

My favorite gift this year is the water color I commissioned for my dad. I know, I feel like such a grownup saying that I commissioned art. Craziness. :)
