TJ Maxx and Marshalls Holiday Gift Card Giveaway

The average family is planning on spending $682 this holiday season (according to the National Retail Federation) on gifts for everyone on their list, 3.2% less than last year. With price and value at the top of everyone's gift-giving check list, it's essential to look for ways to maximize Holiday budgets this year.

With T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, you can stretch your gift-buying budget so that you don't have to leave anyone off the list! With 10,000 new items arriving each week, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls have something for everyone on your list -- from the latest brand-name toys to electronics, beauty products, gourmet food and entertaining essentials--they are one-stop shops for all your holiday needs.

How can one save this time of year? Have a budget well before you head out the door to buy anything this Christmas. Always stay up to date on the latest sales and offers, and be on the lookout for coupons in magazines, newspapers, and online.

But if you want to save time and money, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls both have name-brand items you'll find at any other store you shop, but are discounted at up to 50-75% off what you'll pay elsewhere. You can find anything you need for anyone on your list!

Top Gifts for Everyone on Your Christmas Shopping List Girls: Barbie, Baby Alive, My Little Pony
Boys: Thomas the Tank Engine, Transformers, Tonka
Him: Shaving Kits, Sweaters, MP3 Accessories, Pajamas, Tools

T.J. Maxx and Marshalls also have a fun Christmas Caroling constest called "Carol-oke!" One lucky person will win a $5,000 shopping spree - just for singing their favorite Holiday Carol! The contest launches on November 30 on YouTube's specially-created "Caroling Channel," www.youtube.com/jointhecarolers. There, you can select from one of three carols, create your own "Carol-oke" video and upload for entry into the contest. Additionally, for each off-price "Carol-oke" video that is uploaded, a charity donation will be made.
