***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
According to random.org, our two giveaway winners are… Amy I. (who’d enjoyed a weekend away and then a few days at home for her pretend spring break) and DebbieRN (who’d go to Sanibel Island).
Don’t you wish there was a no-adult-left-behind official grown-up spring break? Since many of the kids in our county are out of school this week, it made us think about how nice it would be if every adult scored the same week-long break from the office grind. Luckily this week’s prize from The Office Stylist promises to inject some fun (and function) to your desk job. They’ve got loads of tips and services for amping up your workspace, including an online shop that’s stuffed with colorful and stylish organizational items – from floral file folders to ceramic business card holders and everything in between. And they’re hooking two lucky winners up with $50 cards to spend however they’d like.
- PRIZE: A $50 gift certificate towards Sorting With Style by The Office Stylist
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GIMME A BREAK!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … pretend that every grown up got a spring break. What would you do? Would you go somewhere exotic? Would you just relax at home? Or would you throw a huge party for all the other on-break adults?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 20th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States and Canada!
- 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 on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

GIMME A BREAK!
I would travel, of course. That’s my answer for everything!
Monica says
Gimme a Break! I would be off on a Mediterranean cruise!
Shelby says
GIMME A BREAK!!
Being a teacher I actually do get a spring break every year :)
We didn’t do anything spectacular this year because we spent a good deal of money paying off some debts that we’ve acquired since buying a house. My favorite place to go for spring break is Arizona for Dodgers spring training baseball. We went last year and it was a BLAST!
Brandi says
Gimme A Break!!!
Since I’m about to start grad school for shark research, I’d probably do work. With my finace. I think we’d love to be able to go diving and all sorts of good stuff that officially counts as work, but totally would be for fun :)
Alicia says
GIMME A BREAK! I would LOVE to be somewhere warm right now!

GIMME A BREAK!
Somewhere beachy and warm…
Christina says
GIMME A BREAK! If I couldn’t be at the ocean…somewhere warm, or in the Northwest, then I’d find me a neat little hot tub on the deck of a neat little cabin in some secluded area in my home state in the Midwest, and then I’d get me a case of red wine and kidnap my husband who takes providing for his family very, very (too) seriously!
Emily says
GIMME A BREAK! I actually did take an adult spring break this year. I just got back from a cruise to the Mexican Rivera. It was heavenly!
sarah r. says
GIMME A BREAK!

eh-hem. Nerdtastic.
Rachel says
GIMME A BREAK!
A week with no work would be awesome. Perfect time of year for a nice long backpacking trip.
Trilby says
GIMME A BREAK!! I would head to the warmest, most remote tropical beach destination I could find. And since we’re talking in terms of a perfect world, there would be someone there to cater to my every food & drink need, and I would spend my days lying around, reading books and taking naps!
Allison says
GIMME A BREAK! My husband and I love traveling, but haven’t spent much time exploring the state we currently live in. I would love to spend a week doing day trips to all the must-see sights around us!
Hannah says
Gimme a break!
I guess I can’t pretend that I don’t still get a spring break being that I teach school. :) But, this year I spent my spring break by myself relaxing at home trying not to think about the pile of grading I had waiting for me when I returned. No one else was on break the same week as I was. Did manage to go to a flea market one weekend though! :)
Bentons says
GIMME A BREAK!
Actually, I’m a teacher on Spring Break right now…I am very blessed! This week, I am enjoying no alarm clock and just enjoying my home and family. But, if we could do a dream Spring Break, I think my sweet husband and I would enjoy a second honeymoon…crisp hotel sheets, room service, unencumbered days…ahh!
Adrian says
GIMME A BREAK! I’d go on a sweet vacation. Maui, maybe?

“GIMME A BREAK!”
I’d spend a few days away someplace new, and a few days at home…hopefully with enough energy reserved to conquer a few projects!
Sarah West says
Gimme A Break!
I’d go somewhere warm and sunny like Hawaii!

I would take a break from the baby and the hubs and I would go to Turks and Caicos!

Ok, so, I’m an adult and I do get spring break. One perk of teaching high school! I used it to go on vacation to the beach with my daughter!
kristen says
GIMME A BREAK! If money were not a factor, I would be horseback riding high in the mountains of Wyoming! If this is more realistic, then I’d probably stay home working on my to do list!

Kristen Harstad says
GIMME A BREAK! If I could do anything for Spring Break, I would visit one of my favorite cities – Seattle, WA. I fell in love with it’s laid back feeling and everyone is so friendly. My husband has never been and I’ve been anxious to take him there and show him why it’s so special to me.

GIMME A BREAK!
Most definitely an overseas vacation. Yes, please!

Give me a break! Please. Well considering it is supposed to be “spring” and it snowed here in western NY, I would go somewhere warm. Maybe to Hawaii to see my future Sister-in-Law.
