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.

    My family isn’t doing too many gifts this year–my siblings and I are all living in/moving to new apartments, so we’re saving money and not burdening each other with too much unnecessary stuff. any gifts will be small, easy-to-move, and practical for new homes. Marshalls and HomeGoods are my go-to for such items! (Your site has given us a lot of decorating ideas!)

    We feel so blessed that we just want to give money to a charity and sponsor some families for Christmas. There are so many people out there that won’t have gifts, warm clothing or even food for their families. If you have been blessed this year, PLEASE PAY IT FORWARD!

    What I am most excited about giving this season is my gift to my husband- duck decoys for hunting! After being on a tight budget this past year he has been holding off so we could afford more for our new house. A the top of my list is a vacuum. I know it’s not exciting but after just moving into our new house and not ever before having carpet I don’t have one!

    Maxx me! I seriously love TJ Maxx. Our local one is combined with a HomeGoods, and it’s one of my favorite stores ever! I’m excited to give my mom a new duvet & lamp that I bought there over the weekend. We’re slowly making over her apartment and those pieces will make a huge difference in her bedroom. I’m hoping for a DSLR for myself, but so far I haven’t found any fabulous deals. Cyber Monday is letting me down!
