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!
Whenever I try to go shopping for Christmas presents I pretty much just end up buying things for myself! I’m trying to get away with it by buying my boyfriend a lot of presents for “us,” like that mirror that “we” really want for the bedroom…
Teresa T. says
Maxx Me!!!
A fantastic gift would be a job for both my husnad and myself. We both were released from our jobs.
The most fantastic gift we will be giving is our time to our local Crisis Control, Rescue Mission. We will be shopping at Goodwill on behalf of our Sunday School class for two single mom families that have 10 children all together. The children sleep in their underwear because they have no pj’s. Our Sunday School class will giving them bedding, non-perishable food, and coats for the whole family. The youngest child is two weeks old.
Yes, we would like to have paying jobs so that we can help others who are not as fortunate as we are. The best thing is that our children are helping out with giving to others too.
Thank you for the giveaway, Teresa T.

Top of my wish list is hydroponic vegetable garden gear. Apartment gardening can be so unfulfilling. I’m hoping hydroponics lets me be more productive and keeps people from stealing my veggies as they walk by on the street!
