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! There’s not much on my “want” list this year, although, as a triathlete, I can always use more Goody Good Grips hair ties (with 52% more hold than traditional hair ties, as the package proudly announces). My family has decided to give made or used or repurposed gifts this year, and I’m probably most excited about the spare iPod Shuffle that we had lying around and are going to fill with my step-dad’s favorite music for him. (He didn’t think he was qualified to own one because he wouldn’t know how to put music on it.)
Becky Simoes says
MAXX ME!
There is really nothing that I want this year for myself… maybe some new pots and pans.
I am excited, however, to give my husband a blu-ray disc player and my 3 year old daughter the Leap Frog Tag reading system because she is so curious about the words when we read books together.
Mary Margaret says
MAXX ME!!!

I get to set up a workshop/craft area for myself pretty soon, so I would definitely buy some organizational baskety type stuff and maybe a sweet chair. We are getting my little girl a tricycle for Christmas (one of those sweet radio flyer ones) and I can’t wait to see her zooming around our home, which is practically a race course.
Kate D says
MAXX ME!
We’re starting a new tradition at the In-Laws of filling paperbags with small gifts that remind us of the person, but doing it all without saying who gave what. I can’t wait to give and receive these gifts!

Bree C. says
MAXX ME!!
Lame enough, I really want this Simplehuman dish rack that is ridiculously expensive and totally not necessary. I can’t reason buying it for myself, so maybe I’ll get a few gift cards!

On the top of my list this year is new flooring for our house! We definitely need new carpet and kitchen tiles. For giving, we’re not doing family gifts this year so we can save up for a family vacation and other splurges in 2011 when we are all together.
