I received an email a couple weeks ago that asked me to be a Secret Santa to another mommy blogger. I of course was so excited and said YES, count me in! Upon saying yes, everyone who participated was sent a $25 gift card to Marshall’s or TJ MAXX to shop for their recipient and another $25 gift card to shop and get a little something for themselves!
When I received my gift cards and the name of my recipient, I was excited but yet a little apprehensive. The fellow blogger I was to buy for, I had no idea nothing about her. So I went immediately to her website and started to follow her. I read everything I could find on there about her, and just did as much “detective” work as I possibly could before buying her present.
Then I was off to Marshall’s to buy her some goodies. It didn’t take long at all to buy her some wonderful gifts that hopefully will be “relaxation gifts”. I put a lot of thought and love into buying her presents and I am hoping that she loves them as much as I do (I always buy presents for others that I would love to receive myself;) ).
Also, Marshall’s and TJ Maxx are doing a fun contest that you may be interested in participating in. I am sure you have watched the commercials on tv so far, but here are some more details :
Marshalls and T.J. Maxx have joined together for a “Carol-oke” contest. One lucky person will win a $5,000 holiday shopping spree – just for singing their favorite holiday tune! The contest launches on Monday, November 30th on YouTube’s specially-created “Caroling Channel”,www.youtube.com/jointhecarolers. There, consumers can select from one of three carols, create their own “Carol-oke” video and upload for entry into the contest. For every consumer who uploads a video singing one of our original carols, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls will donate $1 towards the purchase of a brand new toy to Toys for Tots up to $50,000.
- Special Thanks to Marshall’s and TJ Maxx and my girl (Victoria) for putting together this very fun and exciting Secret Santa idea. I loved doing this.
I cannot wait to release who my Secret Santa recipient was, probably within the next 2 weeks! So be looking out for it!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
The Plus Size Mommy
