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.

my gift to myself this year is to just calm down, relax and enjoy the holidays. I was way too rushed and wasn’t into it last year and I’m making up for it this christmas! Lights are out (all 24,000 of them), christmas trees are up (all 9 of them), and gifts are being wrapped.

Maxx Me!
Now that I’ve finally signed for my first full-time job (in the same city I’ve gone to university), I’m happily requesting kitchen things that I’d managed to go without for the last 3 years, thinking I’d be leaving shortly.
I’m most excited to be giving presents to my best friends at school–they’re the easiest to shop for, since I see them so frequently and we tend to like similar things. My parents/grandparents? So much harder to shop for.
Kristin says
MAXX ME! I’d like a proper, grown up purse for Christmas!
Paul says

Wow. 4000+ entries. You guys are amazing.
I would spend it on my husband, anything he wants for the house. And I’m most excited about his gift. We’re now one day past our first baby’s due date, so I’ve begun a daily journal of ways he’s going to make a really good father, and I’m collecting them to present Christmas Day!

MAXX ME!! I’m excited to give my best friends’ four-year-old daughter (the cutest little girl in the world, with the possible exception of Clara) an adorable scarf-and-hat set I bought on a whim, only to discover that it contains ALL her favorite colors AND she’s about to outgrow the hat her grandmother crocheted for her. Too perfect!
For myself, I’m hoping for a job for Christmas, since getting laid off was my Thanksgiving treat. :-/
Jen says
MAXX ME!
A new TV is at the top of my list this year. I generally lean towards clothing or decorating items – but this year I’m asking Santa for a flat screen. I’m looking forward to giving all the gifts I wrap and baked items I cook while watching my new TV!
