Happy Monday everyone! Did you see the surprise that I posted on Friday? I’m still so excited about our new house! Today is also pretty exciting because I’m hosting my very first giveaway!
All you have to do to win is enter below by visiting my facebook page, subscribing to the blog or visiting me on Pinterest or Instagram. Be sure to tell all your friends too, because you could win $25 to a trio of stores with great celebratory party and home gear; Marshall’s, HomeGoods, and TJMaxx.
I love these stores because you can usually find quirky little items, name brand products for less, and a plethora of goodies for any party. I went to my nearby Marshall’s and snapped some pictures of fun things I found. And yes, I got a few weird looks while I was taking pictures of everything in the store and rearranging shelves to get a decent picture.
Wrapping paper is one of my favorite things to buy at any of these stores. I always find really cute patterns and on trend color options. Right now there were a ton of seasonal wrapping paper for Valentine’s Day and even a green glitter polka dot pattern that would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.
There were also a lot of seasonal cocktail napkins, along with some Easter decor. These napkins are so versatile you could definitely load up on these and use them for a girls night in, an anniversary dinner party, or heart themed birthday party.
Again, there is a lot of great seasonal and general gift bags and tissue paper. Obviously you can use these for gifts, but there are so many other things you can do with them too. You can make a tassel garland or tissue poms with the tissue paper and if you really like the design of a gift bag you can cut it out and frame it for inexpensive decor. It would look really cool to frame a bunch of gift bags that go with your party them.
If you need to stock up on basic serving ware, you can easily put this gift card to use. If you need suggestions on what kind of basic serving pieces I recommend, check out this post.
This trio of stores is also a great place to stock up on champagne and wine glasses. You can typically find packs of four or six glasses fairly cheaply. I love having a stockpile of plain wine and champagne glasses for parties, it’s just so much nicer to drink out of a glass that’s designed for a specific beverage rather than a regular cup. There’s no better way to celebrate than with a nice glass of champagne!
I also found these super fun stemless wine glasses with inspiring gold sayings. They say, “creativity takes courage,” “be yourself,” “create your own happiness,” and “get your happy on.”
If you need to stock up on note cards, thank you cards, or note pads, you will definitely find some cute ones at any of these stores. I love grabbing a pack of thank you cards pretty much any time I’m here. I love that note pad to do list because it’s detachable, how clever. And those “S” note cards are tags that come with twine, perfect for hanging on a gift.
I literally fell in love with these patterned file folders. The colors and patterns are just so cute, I mean look at those flamingos! I’m surprised I passed them up because I know it would be a celebration every time you’d open your drawer with these!
There are also a lot of great home decor items at my local Marshall’s and HomeGoods does home decor so well you practically want everything in the store. I spotted a really nice variety of rugs with current patterns and colors, plus that white fluffy rug felt like a cloud, so soft. This Kate Spade comforter was fairly priced and I love that Kate even makes sure her packaging is on brand. The clear bag was trimmed in gold, of course. I also thought this little bamboo side table could be really fun between two armchairs with some cocktail accessories displayed on it for a little Asian/beachy flair.
And literally on my way out the door I spotted this awesome bench. I love the linen fabric, nail head trim, and those lucite legs! So pretty!
Ok, now’s your chance to enter the giveaway and hopefully find some great items your self at Marshall’s, HomeGoods, or TJMaxx! Be sure to enter using the drop down menu on the Rafflecopter below, the giveaway will run for a week so be sure to come back and keep entering each day. If you win what do you hope to find and use your gift card on?
Too fun! I like HomeGoods for kitchen supplies and glassware. It is quality stuff but not insane prices. I also really love those folders!
Yes, HomeGoods definitely has value. I may go back for those folders, haha!
I love going to Marshalls and TJMAXX because you honestly never know what you can find! I’ve scored some awesome deals on home goods that are so unique! Not to mention they have an awesome clearance section that Iris and I love to pick through!! 😉
All the same reasons I love both of those stores!
There’s a Homegoods 40mins away! So excited to deck out a new place 🙂 your blog will become even.more helpful 😉
A new house is so fun to decorate! Hope you win!
I love those stores cause i got married 7 months ago and never lived in the same place as my husband before, so im always looking for beautiful and different stuff to decorate our home but that at the same time are not to pricey. And this stores have so many quality stuff for every corner of your house with amazing prices. I love to get inspired eveytime i go there and why not getting all kind of things for future DYI proyects for my house and presents for my family, friends and ofcourse mu hubby?
I’m so glad you guys are finally together! I don’t know if Hawaii has any of these stores, but I do know that they have online shops that would ship to Hawaii!
I would probably buy either some baskets to decorate the house or put it toward a handbag. They have nice handbags at Marshalls. 🙂
Yes, going through the handbag area is a must every time you go to Marshalls!
I would love to use it to buy something new for my kitchen. Either decor or new cooking utensils.
Sounds like a great idea! They even had Le Creuset at the Marshall’s I went to!
I would like to get new glassware for cocktails and stuff to decorate my room.
Anything for cocktails sounds great!
I would use it to buy a fun welcome mat for spring. Only 42 days left! 🙂
That’s a great idea! It feels like summer here this weekend, we’re closing in on 80 degrees!
Probably give the gift card to my wife! She has better taste than I do!
Haha! I’m sure she’d love it!
I would use it at homegoods! I need to start decorating my house.
Great place for home decor!
