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!” What’s on the top of your list for yourself? And what are you most excited to be giving?
This is the first year I can honestly say, nothing is on the top of the list. Nothing. And, my teens say, “I really don’t want anything”. Hard to believe. I really feel that we all just want to spend time together and enjoy the holiday. We don’t want to get caught up in the buying and giving. None of us do without and get what is NEEDED throughout the year. Life is good!

As far as what I am giving, I pick a theme each year for my girlfriends. This year I am giving them each a small ceramic box with their initial and necklace inside. Each necklace fits their personality.

Happy holidays!

Katie says
MAXX ME!
I’m excited to give my mom a Keurig for Christmas!
Tiff Morrison says
MAXX ME! We are most excited about giving our 21-month-old a fun and meaningul Christmas experience. We are simple folk and not too big on LOADS of presents. One or two simple and meaningul gifts is plenty, used items are even better! Plus our son has two sets of grandparents who love to spoil him rotten. We are looking forward to picking out the perfect Little Tyke basketball hoop and perhaps a Radio Flyer tricycle. For each other, we each got to pick out an item we NEED. The hubs gets a new pair of work shoes and well I don’t NEED anything so I didn’t put in a request. I could always use more home remodeling materials.
Summer says
MAXX ME!!! I’m most excited to surprise my family with a trip home to see them with our four month old!

MAXX ME!

Pattie says
MAXX ME. I need new socks! My girls keep stealing/borrowing mine. I’m most excited to give my oldest son a Craftsman drill he has been longing for.
Jamie says
Maxx Me!
I am really excited about our gift for my parents. We bought them a shiny new microwave. They have had their current one forever, and the display is shot, but they continue to use it, so you just kind of have to guess how long there is left on the timer. I know it’s something they really need and will be really happy to get, but wouldn’t buy for themselves until their current microwave died!
Wendy H says
MAXX ME! I’m a bit clueless about what I’m giving this year… maybe I need a trip to TJ Maxx/Marshall’s to inspire me:)
Aimee says
Maxx Me! Top of my list is an ereader. I’m excited for giving all of my gifts!
