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.

I want a Kindle (or some sort of book reader) and I’m excited for every gift we’re giving our three year old son. This is the first Christmas he really understands what’s going on.
Claudie says
MAXX ME!
Honestly, the number one thing is a kitten. We have one adorable furball and we want another. So we decided to get a kitten (and all of the extra purchases that come along with one) and forgo spending a lot on gifts for one another.
Kristin says
Maxx me!!!
Jenn says
MAXX ME!!!
I LOVE the holidays!! Even though we’re Jewish we plan on hanging some festive stockings on our mantel (we just bought our first house!). I have been going to Home Goods and Marshalls on a quest to furnish our new house and have become completely obsessed – they have the greatest things!!

On my list is some cookbooks and snowshoeing gear.
What I am most excited to give is the felt food (pretend food) I made for our daughter and for my friends’ kids. I made some last year for our daughter and she plays with it all the time. I love the handmade gifts!
Dorothy says
MAXX ME!
This year I’m asking for a new pair of glasses. I always feel discouraged to spend the bucks on a decent pair when I generally wear contacts, but I figure if I ask for them for Christmas, it’s okay to splurge… right?!
I’m the most excited to throw the annual girls’ holiday party at my house this year!
Kay Marie says
MAXX ME!
Surprisingly there isn’t much on my list for myself…though a nice pair of pajamas would be great. I’m excited to give my Mom a kindle this year! She’s a readaholic and will love it!
