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.

Maxx me!
On the top of my list is the more time. I’m trying to gift everyone on the cheap this year and I’ll be spending HOURS making homemade sweets and savory treats on my winter break (I’m a teacher). The one thing every teacher and gifter can use is more time.

MAXX ME!
I am hoping to make a blanket for my mother-in-law per a DIY post on design*sponge a few weeks back. If only I could find the right fabric!
At the top of my list is new kitchen knives, although I think that will have to wait as they are a fairly pricey item!
Nicole says
MAXX ME!

Maxx Me!!
At the top of my Christmas wish list is that my daughter and son in-law will be here for Christmas. She has been away at college and is finishing up with her masters degree and our son in-law just returned home from Afghanistan. Both of them and my new grand puppy, will be here on Dec 20th right through until Dec 26th. Does it get any better then that??!!

I need new work clothes for Christmas. Exciting, huh?
Angela says
MAXX ME! TJ Maxx is my mom’s favorite store. Of all time. I’d love to give her the gift certificate for Xmas.
I can’t decide if Apple TV should be on my Xmas list or not. A new vacuum (sadly or happily, depending on how you look at it) would be great, too.

I’m super excited to be getting a sewing machine for Christmas. No more sewing everything by hand! The item I’m most excited to give is a watch, for my husband. His current timepiece is on its last legs, finally. He has insisted that until this one dies, he doesn’t need a new one. I got a great deal on one that I think he’ll love.

Gina A. says
MAXX ME!!! A break from school is the best gift I’m getting for christmas. As a full time nursing student and new mom, I feel like I’ve had to put everything on hold. Just being able to spend time with my friends and family, decorate for the holiday and cook……are simple things that I miss immensely. Stuff on my christmas list……a case for my macbook and a food processor.
Lauren says
MAXX ME!

I got a Canon Rebel from my husband and parents that I’m so super excited about. And I’m looking forward to giving my husband Xbox games that all his friends have and he’s been waiting patiently to get.
Kelly says
MAXX ME! I’m most excited about the gift we got for my husband’s sister and family. It was an entire gift basket of Organic food and goodies, Toy Story 3, and some fun family games…all for an epic family night! What I want most is spray paint, wood glue, and any sort of DIY project accessory…that means anything a Home Depot gift card would cover :)
Gretchen says
MAXX ME!
