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.

    Top of my list is a baby lol. Unfortunately for everyone who’s giving me gifts, they can’t help.

    I’m most excited to give my husband gifts, he gets so excited, no matter what it is.

    If I get a KitchenAid mixer…I might just pee my pants a little.

    I got my hubbie a custom key chain that says “six baskets” – because that’s the most love there is in our silly little two-person world :)

    MAXX ME! I am excited to make some gifts this year. I’m making everyone in my husband’s family their own rice heat packs. Some will have added lavender flowers from my own yard and some will have rosemary from my potted plant. I love thrifty gifts. :) For myself…my husband is running his first marathon at Disney World in January. The trip is our gift to each other. I’m such a kid, I LOVE theme parks and am excited to go to Epcot Center for the first time ever!

    I couldn’t start to think about Christmas until after I got through Thanksgiving. So, sadly, I don’t have anything on my wish list yet, and more importantly, haven’t started present shopping yet.

    This year I am the most excited to give my parents their first digital camera (yep, they’re stuck in the 80s) but I got the most easy to use Kodak I could find them and now hopefully they will document life in the new millennium.

    I’m excited to get a monogrammed necklace from my husband! We got married in June and I have letters that need changing :)

    I want a label maker to help with organizing my craft supplies. My husband always jokes that my real hobby isn’t crafting, but organizing the crafting supplies. So a label maker would be perfect. It would also be nice to get more supplies to organize and label!

    I’m most excited to be giving my daughter some doll house furniture to go with the doll house she’s getting from her Nana.

    This year we’re staying in a house on the beach. We are VERY excited! The kids are still getting gifts but my husband and I decided to forgo regular presents for each other and splurge for a vacation. When we get home, we’re redoing our floors which also makes me VERY happy and is a wonderful present!

    MAXX ME! Since we are trying to upgrade our apartment stuff to house worthy items, the top of my list includes artwork! With my apartment we were always afraid of getting artwork because we had to patch etc, when we left, so we never purchased any. Now only if my husband and I can agree on what we like!

    The gift I am excited to give is golf lessons for my hubby so he can stop hinting about it. :)
