***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.
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.

Top of the list for myself is some house goodies. We moved into a new place, and it could definitely use some “new” decor items.

This year surprisingly I am asking for a toy, I played with a younger cousins XBOX Kinect over Thanksgiving and it is such a fun “get up and move” game I think I want one for myself… what a fun alternative to the gym!
As for gift giving, I am super excited to give my parents and in-laws nice “stay-in date” gift baskets

MAXX ME!
I am looking forward to seeing my husband’s face as he unwraps this year’s “Santa presents”, which are little things we both have wished for during the year, left under the tree from Santa. These do not include our gifts to each other. He is always surprised and delighted by this idea, since his parents never really bothered to use Santa in his childhood. It is a real treat to surprise him as an adult!
Andrea says
MAXX ME!
We just celebrated our one-year house anniversary and the living room still isn’t very inviting. I’d put the $50 toward some lamps or throw pillows.
PS – I totally have the deer that match the one in the image!

I suppose that what tops my list this year is getting a bunch of projects done around our house in time for the appraisal for our refinance in two weeks. 15 year mortgage, here we come!

My favorite “gift” each year is when my dad takes our whole family to a theatre production of “A Christmas Carol” then out for dinner at our favorite restaurant. He took me when I was a kid and now I love that he takes my husband and kids as well. Such a fun tradition.
Can’t say what I am excited about giving because I have not started shopping yet. Yikes!
