***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.

Veronica says
MAXX ME!
I am always at a loss as to what I’d like to receive, so I focus on the giving! We made photo albums featuring images of our daughter to give to our parents this year, and my labor of love for my mother’s family is to scan all of my grandmother’s old photo albums (she passed away this year).

Emily says
MAXX ME!!! (Please?)
Hmmmm…Christmas gift I’m most excited about giving is probably a dress-up bin I’ve been working on for my 4 year-old daughter from “Santa.” I know she’ll love it, so I’m really excited to see her discover it under the tree on Christmas morning.
As for what sort of use I’d put a TJM gift card toward…not sure, but I do know I’d figure something out! There’s a store around 10 minutes from my house and I’m there quite frequently, and each trip probably averages around $40-50. I just have a hard time saying “no” and walking away from that store!
molly says
MAXX ME— the top of my list is a keurig coffee maker :) and i’m excited to give away some framed DIY art to my family :)
Katharine says
Maxx me!
It’s always fun to give my kids presents, the one thing I do need for Christmas is a stocking to hang for the baby. She was born in the past year and hasn’t joined the family in the ‘sock on the mantle’ sense.
sammyw says
MAXX ME! I am hoping for a flip camera and cannot wait to give our little cousins the matching superhero capes I made for them.
Elizabeth says
MAXX ME
We’re already treating ourselves to the holidays holed up in a cabin on the water in Maine. But, I’d love to spring for some presents to go along with the ones I’m making. I’m so excited about crafting presents for everyone, I’m up to my eye balls in it.
