Fab Freebie: Merry Maxx-mas

***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.

TJMaxx Xmas Stuff

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).

TJMaxx Our House

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.

    I’d like a warm down coat to keep me warm on my long commute. And in keeping with the spirit of gifts of warmth, I’m giving my dad flannel lined jeans to keep him warm when he works outside at night.

    Please MAXX ME!

    I’m having a hard time thinking of things for myself for Christmas. I just got married last month and the hubby and I have been so blessed to receive more gifts than I can even believe! But it would be nice to polish off the house with some pretty decor.

    And anyway, I love giving gifts way more than receiving! I’m mostly looking forward to giving my little two year old nephew and one year old niece their gifts. Nothing like seeing a child’s face light up around this time of year!

    I hope you, Sherry, Clara and Burger have a very Happy Holiday!

    I just graduated from college and a very sweet family I know has been letting me live with them. However, I hope to move into my own small apartment in Feb/March and I don’t really have much, so for Christmas I’ve asked for supplies for my little bungalo.

    I’m really excited about creating personalized photo books to add to the presents I give out to friends and family. I love making thoughtful gifts for people.

    MAXX ME! At the top of my list for myself is a pair of Tory Burch black ballet flats with gold TB pendant and flat Frye riding boots in cognac. I’d love a little holiday boxwood to decorate the house with too! To give, I love giving combos of old/new dvds like the original and new How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Chocolate Croissants with a copy of the fabulous love story/French cookbook “Lunch in Paris” and hand-made Shutterfly calendars.

    MAXX ME! This was the first year I did an actual holiday gift list for myself, but I am crossing my fingers that it means I will get less random knick-knack type items that are not my taste and end up stashed in a closet. Crossing my fingers for an Eye-fi memory card! The thing I am most excited to be giving is a Wedgepad for my dad for his iPad. He is disabled, and his iPad is the only way he has ever been able to manipulate any sort of computer to get on the internet. Hopefully the Wedgepad will make it a more comfortable experience for him.
