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.

    The transformation of your old house is inspiring, especially the yard. Please MAXX ME! so I can buy blankets for those less fortunate. I’m excited this year because I also went through a transformation…I am a six-month breast cancer survivor with a bright future!

    although i’ve been informed that “things for the house” shouldn’t be on my personal list, i can’t help wanting to ask for a tiffany style hanging lamp for the hallway or a mirror for our newly painted bedroom… other than that, a few good books, owls, armadillos, a knitted afghan, or a rose gold and silver watch would be lovely. as far as giving, i’m excited to gift the earring frame i made for my boyfriend’s mom. happy holidays!

    I’m the most excited about an amazing ottoman set I found on Target’s site. Faux leather and it comes with the large storage ottoman (that has a tray!!) and 2 small seat ottomans! I’m not sure where I’ll put it in my small apartment but they are coming home with me soon. (And their a great price! at 130.00 regular priced for all three!).

    I want outlandish and unreasonable things for Christmas. A new kitchen remodel and the ability to stay home after baby makes his/her appearance.

    I am going to settle for a new camera.

    We are doing hand-made gift baskets this year, so we’ll be doing very little shopping. We did this two years ago and it was our loveliest holiday to date. Glad to be able to do it again!

    My husband and I have no idea what to get each other for Christmas! We’re planning a trip to Germany in the spring and are saving our Christmas dough for that. However, with a gift card to TJ Maxx or Marshall’s, I’d love to get new pillows for the living room.
