***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.

MAXX ME! I really want a stand mixer and I think my husband is going to get it for me! I’m excited to give him a video game that he really wants b/c he doesn’t think I’m going to buy it.
Kelsey says
MAXX ME!!
Instead of exchanging gifts, my husband and I pick out organizations to support together. But for the extended family, we’ve got a bunch of nieces and nephews who are young and a ton of fun to shop for!
Ashley says
MAXX ME!
I want new pillows!

The #1 thing on my Christmas list is a treadmill so I can get back to my pre-baby body. Oh and gift cards are always welcome!
Nikki says
“MAXX ME!” At the top of my list is a sculpture by my husband and I can’t wait to give my mom the big beautiful pot I found for her garden!
Ireisa says
MAXX ME!!
Christmas around here is mostly about the kids so my husband and I don’t get each other big presents. I am excited about the cool hands free garbage can my mom is going to get me. We have a broken garbage can that I can’t wait to kick to the curb so Christmas can’t come soon enough!
Carrie says
“MAXX ME!”
Happiest time of the year!
Courtney says
MAXX ME!
I want a new couch and rug for the living room for Christmas! I’m exciting about giving my man a vintage decanter to go with our bar.
Caity says
MAXX ME!!
There is nothing that I’m desperate to have for Christmas – just seeing my family (who live in another state) will be great. But I do love to give gifts, especially to my niece. It is always so fun to see her face light up when she opens a gift she really likes but wasn’t expecting.
MelissaG. says
MAXX ME!
I can’t wait to see my boys faces on christmas morning when they see presents under the tree. They are 2 and 3 so this yr. will be more exciting than last!! And I’m most excited to spend the whole week with hubby than “get” anything! He’s taking that week off from work so it’ll be some nice fam time!
Renee says
MAXX ME!!
Jo says
Maxx Me!I’m a Young-a-nista… I mean Maxx-a-nista.
I would be really cool to get a persian cat.
Christina Peterson says
MAXX ME!
I know it’s kind of sappy, but the thing I want most for Christmas is for my husband to be home with me. He’s currently on deployment so I know it’s not a reality for him to spend Christmas with me, but a girl can still dream!
Elaine says
MAXX ME!
At the top of my list is the Nikon D3100 I’ve been dreaming about…..and I am most excited to be giving each of my relatives a family cookbook of my Grandmother’s recipes that I wrote and had printed myself!
Kim H says
Maxx Me!
Hopefully I’ll be giving my husband a GPS! :)
Nikki says
MAXX ME!!
Most excited for cyber Monday free monograms and shipping at Pottery Barn (it makes the two $19 tea towels almost reasonable but not really) and I’m most excited to be giving my nephew a customized plate and bowl per your suggestion on your last baby post…so cute!
amy good house says
MAXX ME!
I would love to buy a real christmas tree this season. And also host a few get-togethers with friends and family. Can’t wait!
Rebecca Blevins says
MAXX ME!!
Laurie says
Maxx Me!
Right now I am excited to give my husband money for one of the new rims he wants for his car. We can’t afford it all at once, so I plan to create a cute/fun way to give him the money.
Dre says
MAXX ME! I’m wishing for a cool area rug to cover all those stains from my little kiddies… and a GC from TJ MAXX/ MARSHALLS!
Shauna Clark says
MAXX ME
Amanda says
MAXX ME!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
I *love* these stores like no tomorrow! The BF and I moved in together over the summer, and we’re trying to create a cohesive Christmas “look” – so tree skirts, ornaments, and plates are topping Amanda’s list.
As for giving – I got my little sister a Northface fleece and she’s going to be shocked (I keep telling her I’m getting her socks whenever she asks).
Karen says
Maxx me!! :)
Ashley B. says
MAXX Me!
Number 1 on my list this year is a new camera! Still trying to decide if I’m going to take the plunge with a dSRL!
Annie says
MAXX ME!!!
I’m excited to give my hubby a wardrobe makeover from Jcrew and I’m excited to get some new additions, also from Jcrew! Love that we can BOTH shop one store. Makes it SO easy!

maxx me!
i am looking forward to giving (and hopefully receiving) a day at the spa for all the awesome girls in my life!
Elizabeth says
MAXX ME!!!!!!
I’m excited because this is my LAST single girl Christmas! Woop woop! I’m very excited for the comfort of a semi-normal Christmas with all of my families favorite traditions because next year it’s all going to change. I’m excited to be getting gifts for my classroom (as a future teacher) and excited to give some DIY gifts this year. I want to put some hard work into gifts rather than just picking something up at the store. :)
Marisa says
MAXX ME! I need jammies for myself and my two kiddos.
Teni says
MAXX ME!! (please)
I asked for a bunch of good stuff this year, but I’m most excited about potentially getting a cake decorating set to bump up my cup cake making skills!
I am most excited about giving presents to my nieces (ages 2.5 and 4 months). I am planning on making them outfits, perhaps matching…hmm.
Melissa says
MAXX ME! I’m getting a wonderful brown storage ottoman from Tar-jay this X-mas. And my husband and I are giving my mom a new laptop.
Lauren says
MAXX ME!
I’m hoping to get a new lens for my new Nikon I bought in October. And as much as I love giving away, I only wish I knew what I was going to get my boyfriend…
Kristel says
MAXX ME!!
This year all I really want is some new furniture. My husband and I are buying our first house and I really want a nice sofa and a bed (right now we’re sleeping with our mattress on the floor). I really want to make our new house a home.
As for what I’m excited about giving, I already gave my husband his gift, a Canon 60D. He loves it, horray!
mary says
MAXX ME!
On the top of my list is a new pair of jeans! Lame, I know, but since we welcomed our new daughter to the world this year, I am dying for a new pair of jeans that perfectly fit my “new” body. On the top of my giving list, will be anything we get for her!
JCES says
MAXX ME!!
kitchen stuff.
Elisa says
Maxx Me!
I am getting lots of clothes from Hollister :)
Nina says
Maxx Me!
I’ve been asking for a set of mercury glass candlesticks and a sunburst mirror from Ballard for months….maybe for Christmas!?
Excited to give my hubby a new set of Bowties (his fav) from a company I just discovered – Southern Comfort (think Vineyard Vines meets southern hospitality)!
Meg says
MAXX ME!
Just moved in to a new house this fall and all the empty walls are driving me crazy, so I’d love some original artwork to fill all those blank spaces! There are about a million items on Etsy that I would be thrilled to receive.
The gift I’m most excited to give is a 2-night stay for my parents at a nearby B&B so they can come visit us for the holidays.
Love this blog! :)

This is really sad, but what I REALLY want is a new vacuum. Ours is heavy and hot and loud and I loathe vacuuming with it! But we have two dogs and a baby on the floor so it needs to be done. Constantly.
Our babe’s first birthday is January 25, so we have hunted down a Little Tikes playhouse with slide for his present. We have a tiny backyard so it will be perfect for tons of outside play next spring.
Brittany M says
Maxx Me!! Pretty Please!! I’m most excited about creating and giving my grandparents a coffee table book that showcases pictures from their 60th wedding anniversary party earlier this year!
Kerry says
MAXX ME!
Stacey says
MAXX Me! The top of my Christmas list is for the little guy growing in me to be a healthy and happy December baby!
Kristen says
MAXX ME!! This year, my family is starting the tradition of donating toys and other items before christmas, to encourage the spirit of giving and to make room for all the new stuff that christmas with kids brings!
Gretchen says
MAXX ME!
I’ve got a giant, super-nice Canon SLR, but I’d like to have something I can throw in a bag for quick shots. So, a new cheapy camera for me~?
I am excited to give my husband a t-shirt he’s been waiting 14 years to wear: The Colorado Rapids won the MLS championship, and I’m giving him 100% cotton commemoration. A simple present, but I bet it will be his favorite!
Jennifer says
MAXX ME!
I really want a new duvet and I found the cutest fork for my nephew that looks like a tractor so he can play with his food!
Tracy says
MAXX ME!
I am giving my sister a weekend trip to NYC to see the city at Christmas. (And I am getting the same thing from myself!) It will be the first time we have been there as adults and we both are beyond excited!
Jessica F. says
Maxx me!
The whole family is going to be together this year and a TJ Maxx card would make it that much better!
Alyssa says
MAXX ME!
Fortunately my holiday list is directly in front of me. The top of my list are sharp knives! My current ones can barely make it through butter. Most excited to give…probably the horseback riding lessons to my mom!
