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 am most excited to be giving my husband a trip to New York City to celebrate Christmas and our first wedding anniversary (Dec. 22nd). I am most excited to receive the same gift :) We can’t wait to celebrate Christmas and an amazing first year of marriage together in the city where we were married!

    I realized over the weekend that I am in desperate need of Christmas decor! So that is going to the top of my list. I will wait until after Christmas to score the best deals.

    I am most excited to see my 8 month old go bananas opening gifts. Not that he will notice the gift… the paper is where it’s at.

    I’m excited to surprise my husband with the new winter coat that fit him perfectly, but was a bit of a splurge so he refrained from purchasing it when he found it.

    I think a Kindle has slowly made its way to the top of my list.

    On the top of my wish list: finish painting our bathroom. I’m wild like that.

    The gifts we’re most excited to be giving are garden stones with our baby’s footprints to the grandparents and two cedar stools that my husband built (to go with Adirondack chairs that he built/gifted previously), also for the grandparents.

    This year I’m most excited by the gifts of time I’m giving people — putting together a 50th anniversary album for my aunt and uncle, grinding spices and assembling cooking care packages for family and friends with my husband, taking my “little sister” to museums and choir concerts. Oh, and chocolate.
