***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.

Definitely the blue egg crate from Anthropologie. I’m in desparate need of a jewelry holder and I think it would work perfect!
I can’t wait to see my 2-year-old daughter’s face when she sees the gifts Santa will bring her. She finally “gets” Christmas and it’s all been so much fun so far!
Jenni says

This year I have been finding lots of fun art to give! Although right now, I am a bit stuck and I hope that I can find inspiration in the next week for my hard-to-shop for relatives. I don’t really have anything on the top of my list (except for maybe an ipad-ha, yeah right!), but I am really excited to see everyone in my family that I haven’t seen in so long.

MAXX ME!!
I haven’t spent much time thinking about what I want for the same reason I’m so excited for Christmas this year- it’s my first one as a mom (my daughter is a week older than Clara) and I’m looking forward to that more than getting gifts!!
Carolyn H. says

Actually, I’m kind of bummed about Christmas. This year, it feels like we’ve worked harder this year than ever before, but are still more broke than ever before.

MAXX ME!
I already bought me my Xmas present – a mini Flip camcorder! I can’t wait to take videos of my new grandniece over the holidays and every Monday when we see her, and of our Xmas morning when our daughter comes over to open presents (with her new fiance)…
And I can’t wait for hubby to open his new GPS system – guys don’t ask for directions, as we all know – now he won’t have to pretend he’s not lost!!!
Tina says
MAXX Me! I’m just happy the list is almost done. Sadly, I can’t justify anything for myself on it this year. Its been tempting, but with another baby on the way, I justify the few splurges on “something new” for him.
