i’ve partnered up with t.j.maxx and marshalls to bring you this exciting promotion, i’ve never done a twitter contest before, so i’m really excited to be able to open this up to you!  t.j.maxx and marshalls offer savings of up to 60% on in-season and brand name merchandise.  in fact, i just scored this pair of amazing designer shoes there from the ‘runway’ section!
each monday through december 20th, i’ll ask you to share something on your holiday wish list. what’s that one present you’ve had your eye on, but haven’t had a chance to buy for yourself? is it a new designer handbag, fancy party shoes, or a special household item?
share your holiday wish with me each week for a chance to be randomly selected as a winner of a $50 gift card for t.j.maxx and marshalls. with amazing prices on holiday gifts, you may find goodies for yourself and others on your holiday shopping list!
