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!!
I want nothing more than a pair of purple Chucks (I love purple shoes) for Christmas this year, and I’m excited to give my dad “Sphere” by Michael Crichton. He loves Crichton but “Sphere” somehow managed to slip through the cracks. Merry Christmas!
Ana Silva says
MAXX ME!!
I am not a big spender as I like to save and don’t have much to spend to beging with. I don’t like spending money I don’t have. With that said, the thing on the top of my christmas list for myself is…and this might sound corny, a nice Christmas night with my family at my house. I will be spending more than enough to create the perfect evening. Could use the extra cash ;) Thanks!
Laura Griffin says
MAXX ME!!
The best gift someone could give me is a car. I’ve had the same car for about 6 years now. It has seen a lot and it’s still truckin’ along at 237,000 or so miles. My little Honda Civic has been such a trooper but needless to say each time I get in my car I’m not sure if that will be the last ride or not…
I’m excited to gift to all of my former bridesmaids framed pictures of me and each individual girl at the wedding. It was truly one of the best days of my life to date and I will always look back on it with the fondest of memories. I certainly do hope they all enjoy it.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Becky says

I’m a starving grad student, so I also am a big fan of Marshall’s and TJ Maxx. I’ll be moving to a new house and city in the new year. I’m most excited to give out my homemade holiday cards — I make my own on shutterfly every year with a theme picture of my chihuahua (who looks a lot like Burger.) I’m most excited to get some quality time with the family over the holiday break.
