***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.

Maxx me!

“MAXX ME!”
Ha this gift card would be perfect because I saw the most beautiful lamps at Marshall’s. It would be my christmas gift to myself since most of my christmas shopping is already done. I am really excited about giving my Dad the GPS he has been wanting for two years. I can’t wait to see his face when he opens it!
sarah says
maxx me! i want a silhouette die cutting machine! and i’m most excited to give my dear friend her present this year (but it’s a secret so i can’t tell you what it is) ;)
Lorien says
MAXX ME!!
I’m hoping for a knife block to store our nice knives in at the BACK of the counter; now that the small fry (15 month old Jack) can reach the edge of the counter, the magnetic knife rack isn’t making me very happy.
Rose says
MAXX ME!
I’m looking for a super comfy long sweater and some slippers. And, since I’m wishing, a sibling for my son.
Jen says
MAXX ME!

Sarah says
MAXX ME!
Shopping list for us: A new TV would be awesome, though we’ll probably end up waiting until after Christmas for that.
Shopping list for others: My side of the family has invented a “gag gifts only” rule this year, so that should be pretty entertaining.
Valerie says
MAXX ME!
My husband and I are finally trading up to a flat screen TV for Christmas – it’s our gift to each other. Neither of us has purchased a new tv for the past 6 years or so; we just survived on hand-me-downs and our old tvs. We already have it picked out.
However, I am still hoping to get a mandoline and some new running shoes from Santa :)
Ali says
maxx me!

MAXX ME! Were hoping for a Wifi blu-ray player with surround sound.
katie says
maxx me!!
this year im attempting to focus on personal and handmade gifts. although gift cards are usually easy outs, i decided that if i can’t think of a personal gift for someone, i don’t really need to give them something just for the sake of giving!
Tammy says
MAXX ME!
New dinner plates are top on my list! I am looking forward to giving my man some new tools!
Jennie says
MAXX ME!
Most excited to be gifting my mom a dvd of all the home movies from when we were kids. She has no idea!
As for myself? I need some new wall art! Trying to get creative and DIY it.
Liz says
MAXX ME!
I could use some serious help making my home feel festive in preparation for the holidays and TJ Maxx has so much great stuff that I am sure it would be a success!
It is hard for me to decorate with a beautiful tree and bulbs when my kitties get the best of them.
Bethany Elston says
MAXX ME! My top item on the gift list this year is some kitchen items – we moved into a new place and I love my kitchen :)
Shawn-Alissa says
MAXX ME!
I’m probably the only woman in the world who wants hardware for Christmas. Barn Door hardware specifically. My brother and I are building a new sliding, barn-door style, door for my bathroom. Sort of a Shoji look but with frosted plexi instead of rice paper. (A titch more stable.)
I’ve ordered a telescope for my nephew’s present and I absolutely can’t wait to give it to him. Since he was little (he’s now 13) I’ve told him that he can be whatever he wants to be when he grows up – that he should reach for the stars! And now he’ll be able to.
(Oh – Black Friday I bought my niece a Juicy purse (ridiculously cute and low priced), my sister a pair of RL p.j.’s, my two boxer dogs new dog beds… All @ TJ Max. Gotta’ love it.)
BreeAnn says
Maxx me! On top of my Christmas list for myself is some new PJs. I’m hoping to buy my husband a new lens for his dSLR. Gotta keep saving up!
Andi says
Maxx me! I just bought a plane ticket to spend time with my little nieces in balmy Florida during the holidays! And I’m excited to give my sister a Robert is Bothered shirt from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon!
Shelly P. says
maxx me! New drapery is the top of my list!
Dana Hale says
MAXX ME!!
I would love to have a steam mop for the kitchen floor and bathrooms. I am very excited to give mini-accordion albums that I made for my husband and daughter’s grandparents.
YL says
MAXX ME!
Looking forward to giving quality time to family!
Kris says
“MAXX ME!”
For Christmas we are flying all our family to visit our daughter/her husband and grandchildren. So, you can see that my present to myself is to spend time with family half way across the U.S. Can’t wait!
shay says
MAXX ME
Top of my list is a blender! I haven’t started shopping yet so I’m not sure what I will be giving!
Larissa says
Maxx Me!
I love these stores and do a lot of my christmas gift shopping there! I haven’t really thought about what I want. We’re saving for a house in the next 1-1.5 years so that’s all I can think of right now. Everything else seems trivial!
I’m excited to give all the gifts I’ve been making for the last 6 months!
Amber says
Maxx me!
I would love to buy myself some new memory foam pillows and a new drum shade for my living room lamp. I know, i know, don’t go all out or get your panties in a bunch.
I am looking forward to giving what my family and friends are seeking this holiday season. I like being one of santa’s elves. Hah
