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!!
We recently moved into a new house, so there are lots of “home items” on the list including a ceiling fan! However, I’m really needing a new point and shoot camera and would love a new pair of boots.
As far as giving, well, I LOVEn Christmas shopping for others. I love to spoil my younger (only by 2 years) with things she’s needing. My husband’s family draws names and I got one of his 3 sisters! She is so sweet and crafty, so it will be fun to put together something for her.
Suzy says
MAXX me! Please? Top of my list: the Zentangle Kit. Most excited to give? It’s a draw: “Why Italians Love To Talk About Food” for one brother, or…the goofy gingerbread men porch lights string for the other brother.

Really though I am most excited to just spend quality relaxing time with my family!

MAXX ME! At the top of my list will always be giftcards! Funny enough, it’s always to Homegoods, a happy homemakers heaven. But I’m excited to get my husband a TUMI messenger laptop bag, so he can look a little more professional at work, rather than using his old skate brand backpack.

Kelli says
MAXX ME!
We’re getting ready for a baby in the beginning of March, so I’m super excited for baby gear from in-laws and parents. And giving gifts to my hubby is always fun – I don’t know what it is yet, but he gets really excited about anything I get him.
Emily says
MAXX ME!! This year I am most excited about giving my sweet daughter her new toys – all of them. It’s her first Christmas and sure to be a memorable one (at least for me and the hubby…not too sure how much a 6 month old will remember).
Rebecca M says
MAXX ME! I’d like to find the perfect mirror for my mantle.
Aynsley says
Maxx me!
this Christmas I am excited to have my husband feeling back to normal. Last Christmas he had back surgery and could hardly move. It will be a wonderful Christmas!
Joy says
MAXX ME!
Kate Whitmore says
MAXX ME! Top of the list? Three Nsync cds. I have owned them all since I was very young, and they are now scratched up from overuse. That means I’m ready for the second round of cds. Yes, that’s right…I said TOP OF THE LIST, BABY! And even though I could be so cliche and say that I love to gift-give in general and there is nothing I am looking forward to, that would just be silly and the perfect way to avoid answering a question. Therefore, I can’t wait to give my 54-year-old dad an American Eagle plaid button-down that I think would fancy up his wardrobe a bit and make him feel young again!
Sara K says
MAXX ME.
I’d love a nice night out with my family – good dinner, no cooking, family fun!
AbberJabber says
MAXX ME!
A DSLR camera is on the top of my wish list – but I might have to save that for wedding registry. I’m most excited to give my sister a brew-your-own tea kit from Etsy! Of course, seeing the neices’ and nephews’ faces light up is always awesome.
Glenda says
MAXX ME!! On top of my wish list this year is a pair of ugg boots–it gets very cold over here in the winter so those would be a treat. I am looking forward to giving a handmade calendar with family pictures to my MIL.
