***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…
Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Sorting With Style

Emilie says
Gimme a break!

It’s always a toss up between an international excursion or a road trip with friends. (Although generally I want the international excursion, and my budget dictates road trip)

GIMME A BREAK!
I would take a nap in a hammock!

GIMME A BREAK!
Considering the fact that I live in Chicago and we had snow this morning… I’d go far far away! Somewhere warm and tropical would really calm the nerves right about now.

L says
Gimme a break!
I’d love to pretend that my husband and I would do something exciting, but really, we’d probably stay home and continue roughing in the plumbing for our new utility room!
Carrie says
GIMME A BREAK!
If I was on Spring Break right now, I’d go to the North Carolina IKEA store with my boyfriend – Even though we live in VA, we’ve been told the NC store is easier to get to then the one in NoVA. We’ve never been to Ikea and can’t wait to see what all the fuss is about!!! Maybe we’d spend the night in a hotel so we could see the rest of Charlotte too! I hear it’s pretty =)
Kasey says
GIMME A BREAK!
I’d go to London. :)

GIMME A BREAK! Me and hubs would go to Greece :)

Since today is the tax deadline for us tax preparers, I am dying to get some sleep….also laying on a warm sandy beach doesn’t sound too bad either!
Jennifer says
Gimme a Break!
I already get spring break since I’m a teacher :) But it’s not very fun, because my husband and friends still have to work! So if adults everywhere could have a spring break all together…then i would love to go on a fun trip out of state (or country!) with my frineds or family.
Catie says
GIMME A BREAK!
I would just keep my fingers crossed for nice weather and pepper my days with Red Sox games, a few long walks in the city, and maybe a weekend at a lake in New Hampshire. *Sigh*
