***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.

erin says
MAXX ME!!
the biggest thing on my list, would be a house. we have been house hunting since april, and have put offers in on 2 houses only to take our offers back due to sellers who think that it is a seller’s market and won’t budge on anything. we’re really bummed about the most recent house because we loved it and we loved the possbilities of what we could do to it. another thing at the top of my list would be a new bed. we co-sleep with our daughter who will be 14 months on friday. my husband and i aren’t tiny people, and our queen size is getting a little tight with the 3 of us in there. if all works out, i will be giving my mom the 3 of us for christmas. my grama recently passed and neither my brother or i were going to be able to come down for christmas. i’m going to try and figure out a way to get there and surprise her christmas morning!

I want a palm sander (for all the sad furniture in our basement awaiting a second chance).
It’s really simple, but I found some beautiful glass soap dispensers that will be perfect as dishsoap holders that don’t have to be hidden away when company comes. I’m done giving gifts that don’t serve a purpose!
