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.

    This year we are keeping things low key and not purchasing presents for any of the adults but we are purchasing gifts for the kiddos. I’m sure my house could use a gift as well as the kiddos:0

    Top of my list would be a new laptop (current baby is 6+ years old) or at least money towards one. I am hosting our family Christmas this year and I’m excited to plan menus, activities, and little gifts to make the holiday special for everyone.

    I’d love a new travel back. And I cannot wait to give my boyfriend 365 little pieces of paper all filled with individual reasons why I like him. I put all these reasons/strips of paper in a glass that I etched with etching glue.

    For the first year ever, we aren’t buying xmas presents for anyone due to the fact the economy sucks and we are saving for our wedding. If we DO win the gift card, I’d like to get something for my parents and my fiance’s mom to show us how much we appreciate their help with our upcoming wedding! :) Happy holidays!!!

    A T3 featherweight blow dryer is on my wish list. I swear once you use this, you’ll never want to use another blow dryer. Although I know I’m getting it.. hehe ;)

    I’m most excited about giving my mom and brother new remotes for their cars. They don’t want to spend the money on them right now but really miss having the ability to lock/unlock the car without the key.
