Hi Carrie, I would give the gift card to my daughter, she is a teacher in a very low income school. She is always buying clothes, hats and gloves for her kids, I help as much as I can. Some of the kids come to school hungry and cold, thank god for school breakfast and lunch. Hard times for lots of good hard working familys, the gift card would come in handy on these very cold days. Thank you for helping so many people, every little bite of savings is great!
Their regular discounted prices are great. But, I LOVE their after holiday sales! You never know what awesome bargain you will find!
I would use the gift card to buy some of the small, but neat items at TJ Maxx such as their candles, coffees, etc. for little gifts.
Thanks.
I would put it towards a new set of bed linens.
Shared your site on my facebook as well. :)
Thanks! Happy Holidays!

I would use to purchase some jewelry my mom and I were looking at last time we went in.
I would use it to pick out gifts for Toys for Tots from the kids selection. I just heard that they are desperate for birth – 6 month educational toys!
I would buy books for my classroom…I am a first grade teacher and my kids are starting to have my love of reading which I think is great! Thanks for doing these awesome give aways!
I would to use the gift card to purchase clothing for myself to go to job interviews. I, like so many others, am unempolyed currently and am only able to get clothing at Joseph’s Coat which has a limited selection since it is a donation site. I’d sure look and feel better with some more appropriate clothing!
Thank you! I enjoy you newletter and seeing you on Twin Cities Live – you’re suggestions are very much appreciated.
If I were to win the 25.00 I would buy my new grandson something. This is a long awaited – 10 years – grandchild. My daughter was told by the doctors she would not be able to have children. So this is our miracle baby. He is a beautiful baby boy – Isaiah Christopher.
I would give the gift to one of my daughters. They would love a free gift!

Hi Carrie- I would use it to buy small gifts for my brother and sister. Money is tight since my husband just lost his job:( All the coupons and money saving ideas on here have helped me a lot so far!! Thanks for what you do!
I would use this card to buy Christmas presents for my nieces and nephews. :)
Hi Carrie,
I would like to apply for the TJ Maxx gift card. If I were to win the gift card I would use it to buy my daughter a new pair of boots. We are struggling to “make ends meet” and could really use the gift this year. My husband has been out of work for over two years and every month has been a challenge just to pay the mortgage. This morning, as I was sending my kids off to school I realized that we did not have a pair of boots for my daughter to wear. So, I took out last years boots and shoved her feet in those and sent her out the door (they’re a size too small)! I would feel very blessed to receive a gift card to purchase a new pair of boots so she would have warm and comfortable boots for our cold Minnesota season. Thank you for your consideration and Merry Christmas.
Sincerely, Dee Oscarson
I would likely use it as a gift for my 100-year-old grandmother!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in a few weeks and would use the gift card to purchase a few more things we still need!
I would go shopping for clothes for our family Christmas party.
If I were to win the gift card, I would buy as many XLT flannel shirts for my dad as I could. He is terminally ill and cold all the time.
I appreciate all that you do for people you don’t even know. You are the kind of person I would want for a friend!

I would use it to buy my boyfriends daughter a birthday present. My boyfriend and I bought her tickets to go see beauty and the beast at the ordway and then found out that her mom bought her tickets to go and they are the night before the tickets we bought. So we can’t give her those and I need to figure out something else for her birthday.
We love Marshalls for their name brand shoes for our 3 fashion-savvy boys! Seems like they wear out shoes so fast!
