    {Father’s Day Gift Idea} T.J. Maxx / Marshalls Review (& Giveaway Ends 7/6)

    By 875 Comments

    ABOUT:

    Marshalls and T.J.Maxx are the places to find the same designer merchandise as department and specialty stores but for up to 60% less for every different father out there. Here are just a few gift ideas that are perfect for dad – no matter how hard he is to buy for:

    • For the “Techie” Dad: If dad is always in search of the newest gadgets, why not pick up some great accessories to pair with them. Get some MP3 add-ons like speakers, headphones or a leather carrying case to make his music listening experience a special one. You can also grab some fun laptop and office supplies that can make work more enjoyable.
    • For the “Sports Enthusiast”:   For the sports fanatic in your life purchase  some apparel from his favorite sports team so he can showcase his pride. You can complete the package with a new pair of brand-name sneakers.
    • For The Gourmet Chef Fanatic:  With summer right around the corner help get him prepared with grilling tools and unique spices. A new recipe book and apron will guarantee a summer full of tasty treats.
    • For the “Beach Bum”:   If dad is happiest at the beach, help him update those faded swim trunks and worn out flip flops with brand new beach gear.  Add in a beach towel and a pair of designer shades to complete the look.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    Personally I love both T.J. Maxx and Marshalls.  I shop at both depending on where I am but more so at T.J. Maxx because it is the closest to me.  Well for Father’s Day I figured I could get my husband a little of everything for a reasonable price at T.J. Maxx.  I was right!  I got my husband a nice polo shirt, a pair of sunglasses, and a new coffee mug for about $30 after tax.  Most department stores would want $30 just for the shirt!  I love that I can get items for a price better than most stores sale prices.

    I actually love to shop at either store for holidays and special occasions because I can get more gift for my dollar!  They also have great clearance items but you have to look for them.  Oh and yes both stores may not be as nicely displayed and organized as other stores, but saving money is not easy work!  Both stores are nicely set up though with departments.  You can find shoes, accessories, clothes, housewares, electronics, toys, and more!

    BUY IT: Check for a T.J. Maxx or Marshalls in your area!

      Although, my husband is a combination of all four, he’s mostly the Sports Enthusiast. He loves sports of any kind. He even proposed to me at Hooters during a Superbowl party. It wasn’t the most romantic moment ever, but it was totally him.

      My husband would closest to the Sports Enthusiest, though not really any of the 4….he’s more of an outdoorsman with hunting, farming, surveying and firefighting.

      My dad’s a sports enthusiast. My husband doesn’t really fit in any of those categories, he’s more of a “family fun” man, loves to do stuff with the kids.

      LOL, you didn’t add couch potato to the list of kinds of men! So, I’d have to say techie, since he does like gadgets!!

      Thanks for the giveaway!

      There is no doubt that my husband is the Gourmet Chef type. He loves to cook, and our family is blessed because of it. He enjoys surfing the internet looking for a new things to try on us.

      Hubby is a sports enthusiast, my oldest son and second oldest son are both techies, and my youngest son (who is two), is a beach bum. 🙂

      None of them, really. I guess Tecchie Dad would be the closest but he doesn’t own up to it.

      I would have to say Techie. The only way Gourmet comes into the picture is sitting down for the meal.

      My DH is a “Sports Enthusiast”. He played football, baseball and then softball for years, but now he just watches and cheers his teams on.

      I guess the ‘beach bum’ is closest although we seldom go to the beach – casual, casual, casual is the word here

      my man is a Gourmet Chef fanatic – he’ll whip up something gourmet from leftovers and whatever is in the pantry.

      I guess out of the 4, my husband would most be the Techie Guy. He’s a computer guy, although he isn’t into other gadgets.

      Mine is both the Sports Enthusiast and the Chef, so there would be many items I could get him!

      I have a beach bum… just like me. 🙂 We’re both foodies and techies too, with a little sports thrown in there, but the beach bum takes the cake.

      My Man is a Gourmet Chef Fanatic, “Techie” Dad and a “Sports Enthusiast”. What can I say he’s well rounded, but he can cook, plays music and loves sports, but most of all he loves me!

      Most important entry:
      My guy’s a Techie Dad.

      He and our 5 year old son spent yesterday updating our surround sound, installing some new HD stuff (that’s as technical as I get), and going Big Boy comparison shopping for MORE…stuff.

      My dad is most certainly the Gourmet Chef Fanatic. He loves to get new kitchen gadgets and is always cooking up new recipes!

      He’s actually a mixture of three types: Sports enthusiast, Gourmet Chef, and Beach Bum. Definitely NOT a “Techie” though. 😉

      I love Marshalls and TJ Maxx’s too! They are always my first choice for shopping. They have great clothes and household items at great prices. I also love Home Goods (owned by TJ’s) too!
