***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.

This year my fiance (so exciting, i’m 3 days engaged!) and I are buying a couch for eachother + the house for Christmas. Practical gift but a tjmaxx card could definitely help spruce up a new couch!

TJ Max is so dangerous…
I always find it hard to make a list because I tend to pick things up as I find them – it drives my family nuts! I would LOVE an upholstered headboard (planning to DIY in January if Santa fails me). As for giving, I am totally psyched to tell my husband I bought us a membership to the swanky gym he loves and has been wanting to join for months.

Angela says
MAXX ME!
This Christmas falls right during the time I’m making an effort to downsize.
While downsizing means getting rid of lots of stuff, it wouldn’t hurt to get some storage to hold the prized possessions that make it through the elimination process!
I plan on making most (or maybe even all) of the gifts-for-giving this year.
Wish me luck!

MAXX ME!!
I’m most excited to give photos to my parents. My daughter and I had amazing professional portraits done this year (a major splurge) and since my parents have everything they need and really value family, I’m happy to have done this. Normally I avoid cameras like they plague so it’s a really big deal…
For me? I just dream of a cordless drill. SOOOO many projects waiting!
