Name of Product: Holiday Gift Ideas from TJ Maxx 
Price of Product: product prices vary – from cheap to not so cheap!
Where can the product be purchased: at TJ Maxx stores nationwide
Description of Product: “Since opening its first store in 1977, T.J.Maxx has helped customers maximize their budgets with the same on-trend, in season, first-quality merchandise as department and specialty stores, but for much less. When shoppers compare price tags on merchandise they will find that it’s not just about a low price, but what they are getting for that low price…a powerful combination of high quality, top name, current season merchandise. Amazing savings can be found in every department from apparel for women, men and children to accessories, home, beauty and even jewelry. Also with 10,000 new items arriving to T.J.Maxx stores each week, there is always a fresh, ever-changing assortment of current season merchandise! Off-price shopping is smart shopping!”
Review of Product: TJ Maxx has awesome holiday gift ideas. I received a $50 giftcard to go shopping and was so impressed with what I found. There were beautiful purses and accessories, including wallets, gloves and scarves. The jewelry department was very impressive, with offerings to fit every budget. I am a lover of the brand philosophy and when I found many of their holiday-themed gifts at TJ Maxx at much lower prices, that’s what I decided to get. These delicious holiday scents will make great small gifts for co-workers or friends. After I found them I continued to browse. The displays were set up according to gift and/or gender and age. There were several holiday food related displays, toys for kids, and even electronics accessories displays like ipod peripherals and laptop sleeves. There really is something for everyone on your list – all at an awesome price!
I received a $50 giftcard to facilitate my review but my opinions remain my own.

I started Nicole's Nickels in February 2009 to bring all of the great deals I was finding to my friends and family and then it took off! Since then I've continued my full-time day job as an attorney while blogging in the evenings and on weekends. Nicole's Nickels has evolved into a site that lets you know about great new products and services! I help my clients during the days at the non-profit I work for and then my Nicole's Nickels readers learn about the best new products for their families! I live in south/central Florida and have 2 cute dogs (see their picture under "mascots") and an amazing husband who has a spunky 6 year old we get to spend a lot of time with. I hope you'll take the time to
