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.

We’re starting a master bath remodel, so I bought my gift a little early … a gorgeous antique chandelier from an architectural salvage store. I’m most excited to give beautiful art made by my friend Lori at whimsystudios.com.
Sarah says
Maxx me! I love getting home decor from TJ Maxx & Marshalls.
I’m most excited about giving travel maps like the one you made for John- y’all were my inspiration! I found great antique (but up to date) maps at maps.com & beautiful frames & pre-sized cork board (all half off) at hobby lobby. Spent about $50 total for each (much better than the $150- $200 price tag for professionally made travel maps) and they look great! I’m giving them to my husband, dad, & brother-in-law. Thank you for the inspiration!!!
KatieQ says
MAXX ME!!! I am planning to “gift” myself a camera this Christmas. It will not be a super expensive model, but it will be a few steps up from my current outdated digital.

MAXX ME!!! I am most excited to give my husband a new TV – we just moved into our first home and we’ve had to spend most of our money on basic things to get the house up and running…we’ve been using our old TV for some time and it’s definitely on its way out….I would love to surprise him with a new TV! As for me, I am hoping for a sewing machine so I can start making pillows and curtains for our house!
