This is a compensated review by BlogHer and HomeGoods.
I have heard a lot about HomeGoods from various craft and decor bloggers around the internet, and last week I got to visit HomeGoods for the first time ever. If you’re not familiar, HomeGoods is a home decor store that contains all kinds of items for the home at 20-60% off retail and department store prices. The store is totally packed full of every kind of decor item. I found some fun things!
As a mom of three small boys, I rarely get to shop for fun, and almost NEVER without my kids. As luck would have it, my husband got a day off because of bad weather, so I took the opportunity to go shop sans kiddos. Luxury! Toddler mamas know what I’m talking about!
I know you like the shopping videos, so I made one for my HomeGoods trip. If you don’t like watching videos, read on, because I’m going to tell you all about what I found.
HomeGoods wanted me to shop for a gift for someone on my holiday list (but they said it was okay if I chose myself). I had a few fuzzy ideas of what I needed/wanted before I went in. One, I have a bedroom that doesn’t have a lamp. Two, it’s getting cold outside and I want to drink copious amounts of hot liquid, and I don’t have a teapot. Three, my brother is getting married this weekend, so I was on the lookout for a must-have item for he and my new sister-in-law. Four, I wanted to see what kinds of Christmas goodies I could find.
First stop was the Christmas department. I found lots of pretty sparkly Christmas trees. I took a picture of these because I know you guys will have great ideas for DIYing them!
This jingle bell wreath is cute!
More jingle bells. The notable thing about these is that they are musical symbols, which I thought was a cool idea for a twist on a traditional wreath.
I seriously thought about picking up one of these Wedgwood Christmas ornaments, but like I mentioned, I have three little boys who aren’t gentle on the ornaments. (“This is why we can’t have nice things!”)
Okay, this is more like it! Twelve disco ball ornaments for half the price of a single Wedgwood ornament. What can I say, I’m a sucker for the disco balls! (I ended up getting these guys – price $5.99, or about 50 cents apiece)
I felt kind of guilty that my three sons didn’t even make my Christmas list for this shopping trip, so I checked out the toy aisles. There were some very nice offerings, including wooden Melissa and Doug puzzles and toys. My boys would love this tool puzzle!
My older boys would also LOVE this 1:16 Logging Truck. They are huge tractor and truck fans, and know just about EVERY tractor by name. Logging trucks are rarely found in the toy world, so I was awfully tempted to stray from my starting list and get this guy.
I kept to the list and pushed on to check out the teapot selection.
The first teapot I came across was this jaunty little number. Price: $9.99 (almost all the teapots were about that price). It came with a wire basket insert for loose tea leaves.
Teapot candidate #2: square and scrolly.
Teapot #3: I’m a little teapot short and stout!
Teapot #4: Beaded scallops
Teapot #5: This one reminds me of the teapot lady from Beauty and the Beast.
Which teapot would you choose? I went with #5 for just $9.99. As soon as I got home from shopping, I washed her and made a pot of Earl Grey! (Apologies to my British readers — I hear you don’t like Earl Grey much!)
While I was in this section, I snapped some quick pictures of these super cute cake plates. I love the ribbon running through them! Did you notice that my teapot has little eyelets in it so I can add my own ribbon? We totally need to keep this technique in mind for our dollar store crafting!
Another cute ceramic and ribbon cake plate. I think these were between $10 and $12 (but I can’t remember, and I forgot to take a photo of the price tag).
And, one last plate. This one has a red polka-dotted ribbon. So cute!
Here’s a trendy throw pillow I know a lot of you would like! This is such a popular motif around craft blogland right now!
Shabby chic birdcages are another popular item in blogland.
I was tempted by this series of miniature chair bookends! So cute!
I combed the wall art section twice and found a lot of nice pieces (some of the art is VERY similar to what is being sold in everyone’s favorite designer catalogs right now).
This tiffany blue and white quilt was a front-runner for me. I really love it! It was $29.99, and I ALMOST brought it home, but I have a real need for a lamp, and not an immediate need for an awesome quilt.
So, check out the lamps I liked:
I was digging the rectangular lamps with rectangular shades. This metallic brown lamp is odd, unique, and definitely a piece with wow-factor (that’s what they always talk about in home decor shows!) I really like it, but it wasn’t exactly what I had in mind for the guest bedroom. Now that I’m looking at the picture, I kind of want to go back and get it anyway! (For those interested in price, I think it was $24.99)
This rectangular lamp is even bigger and bolder than the brown one, but getting farther away from what I had in mind. (Price: $29.99)
And then I saw this one! Off-white textured ceramic base and pleated teal organza shade. Sold and sold for $29.99. I brought this one home with me and it’s now happily lighting the nightstand in the bedroom.
So now that you’ve seen what I found at HomeGoods, it’s your turn!! HomeGoods is giving away a $50 gift card to one lucky commenter! What would you buy with your gift card?

Linh C
Definitely the cake stand! Too cute!
Chelsea A
I have only been to a HomeGoods once, too! I love stores like this. Great values around every corner that look much more expensive than they really are.
Amanda
I would be on the lookout for a cute decorative storage unit of some kind…don’t have alot of room in my living room but with two kids have stuff everywhere!
lisa
I would like to say I’d buy Christmas gifts – but some of that stuff would be so cute in MY OWN HOME!! I’d look for things for an aunt and grandmother-in-law since they are the tougher ones on my list! And a few things for my son, too – maybe?? thanks for the chance to win!
Sharon Castillo
I would spend it on cake stands and a lamp.
Christina Hicks
After looking through this post, I would (if I won) definitely be getting a new tea pot, because those are precious! Since I’m in a new apartment, I’d also raid their Christmas decorations!
Brandy
Ooo. What a great giveaway!! I am avoiding a HG trip until we are moved into new house next weekend.
Robin Klein
I would really love this prize. There are gifts I could buy that I know people would love. I’m not working at this time so this would come in very handy.
Doris
I have yet to make it to this store yet…loved the pics…awesome products….I would finally spend it on myself for a treat like one of those tea-pots or the beautiful quilt.
Jennifer M.
I think I might just have to get a quilt. We are re-doing our bedroom and I like the one you have pictured. Christmas is a perfect time for such a great giveaway! Thank you.
Niki
I would love a shopping trip to Home Goods!
Shelly H
I need new lamps. The ones in our living room don’t match and look like dorm room quality lamps.
Barbara
Cake stands! I don’t love cake stands I LOVE cake stands and I could easily spend every cent on em. :)
Cece
We realized this weekend that our guest bedroom has no lamp…and there are so many fun ones at HomeGoods…so that would be how I spend my $50!
Katrina
I’ve never been to HomeGoods, but one just opened here and I’m dying to go! I’d probably pick out some new bar stools or some curtains for my craft room.
Mandy
I would have to look for a bookcase or night stand, do they have that there? Looks like an awesome store!
Cece
I just sent out a tweet (although I really wanted to keep fewer people entering so I had a better chance at winning!) ;)

Mary
Would love to visit this store and see all their lovely things. Next time I am to the cities by my sister, we will make it a point to go and check it out. It will be on our list. I would buy some great gifts for others. I have been hurt from work for over a year, which included 2 surgeries. I just went back to work Oct 12th. Last week I was in a car accident and am now off work again due to injuries from the accident. No income either so it would be nice to win and get some nice gifts for my family.
Kim
I would love to win a Home Goods gift card. I would probably buy dishes as I have a dish obsession. But then, I also have a frame obsession and a lamp obsession. Heck, I just plan ole have a home decor obsession. So this store is definitely like Heaven to me.
Pat
I love the bird cages from Home Goods but I really have my eye on some of their picture frames. They have several with sculpted roses that I love. Thanks for the giveaway!
[email protected]
Bromeliad
I’m in!
Emily
What a great giveaway! I’ve been wanting to go to Homegoods. It just opened up about 5 minutes away from our home.
Michelle
I am getting married in March adn I have a pretty dire need for teapots (centerpieces) and a birdcage (for cards!
Beverly
I LOOOOVE HomeGoods! I could absolutely use that $50 to start working on my classroom – their organization tools and furniture are great! Or if not that, at least some Christmas decorations!
Gina S.
Homegoods has the best lamps. I love the food section, got some key lime mustard which was fantastic. I’m not sure what I would buy because each time I go I see something different. I wouldn’t have any problems spending the gift card.
Dorangela
I would run back to Homegoods and buy a beautiful tree skirt I fell in love with!
Melissa
I love Home Goods! I love their chairs – they always have cool designs and patterns on them, and I need a new one for my livingroom.
Ashlei
I have been banned from spending more money at Homegoods. Hopefully I can win a giftcard, so the Hubby will let me go back!!!
heather
I LOVE Homegoods and hope I win this giftcard. There are so many things I’d love to get. Thanks!
Justine B.
I would spend it on lamps!
Virginia
Ooooh I love HomeGoods! I would probably get a lamp or two myself, as I am also in need of some. Or perhaps one of those cute little cakeplates because, my lands, they are cute!
Maggie
They have had this super cool British art piece that I really want for my son’s bedroom. It’s got some great iconic British things – crown and flag and a guitar. I’d love to have it up in his room. Cool art that would last a long time!
mary
I would buy anything that we need. I recently got married back in July. Neither of us came from a situation where we already had our own furniture, decor, etc. We had to start from scratch! It’s been tough since we have a VERY VERY VERY tight budget. It would be nice to get some new things!
Audra
I’d definitely use it for a birdcage. I hope I win!!!
Kim
http://twitter.com/#!/kimkat/status/9405743925035008
here is the link to my tweet! it would so awesome if I won, I love you blog, and I love homegoods!!!
Kim
I would look for christmas presents and kitchen items at Homegoods. They always have the cutest baking dishes and other kitchenware there!
Mandy
I love Homegoods, they have the best of everything!!
Sherri
We need a new lamp terribly in the living room. So I am sure a lamp is at the TOP of my list, if I could stay away from the dishes! LOL
Mo
I would buy the teapots! I love teapots!
Gailanne
You had me as soon as you said “Quilt”, my weakness…I loved it!
Nicole
I think that I would buy a new light for our stairwell, right now it has a stoplight in it from the previous owners! Thanks for the contest!
Anna
I LOVE HomeGoods. I would purchase either some kitchen gadgets or some stationary–they always have cute selections of both!
Joy
I would buy a new quilt or sheet set for my bed. Is this HomeGoods gift card valid at any TJX store like Marshall’s? Our Marshall’s is branded with HomeGoods here in CNY.
Angie
I would love to use it for one of the gorgeous teapots and cake plates you found. I’m so in the mood for a cup of hot tea and a cookie right now!
Anna
https://twitter.com/annagrace19
I tweeted the giveaway!
Samantha
I love the eyelet plates! But I would probably be tempted to buy some toys for the kiddos too, since their birthdays are near Christmas also. Hope I win!
Michele
i have been to one of the HomeGoods in Oregon and picked up an adorable houndstooth patterned pet carrier. I would pick up some new bedding as my current quilts have been cat-loved almost to death (plus, who doesn’t like new sheets and duvet covers!)
Stacy
A lamp. I love thier lamps.
Sherry
I love HomeGoods, but (I was there today) I wonder if the selections are very different in different areas?? Of course, maybe it’s just the departments we prefer and the things that catch our eyes, but MY HomeGoods seems to have totally different stock from the things you posted! Interesting. (I would probably use a gift card towards new flatware — saw some I like…)
Jeanne
I’ve never been, but from what you showed in your video and pictures, I think I’d go looking for a rug for our craftsman living room, and perhaps a lamp for our buffet in the dining room.
Aliesha
I would love to win! I’d use my gift card to buy Christmas decorations and gifts! I love everything you featured in your video.
Sara
I love the ribbon cake plates! I need a lamp too, though… Maybe I’d get both! :)
Aleane
HomeGoods is a unique and fun store! They have many expensive department store brands at affordable prices. I find many home decor, tableclothes, and kitchen items. If you see something you like, buy it then. If probably won’t be there the next time you shop.
Megan D
I feel like I should go buy a lamp now.
lori bunk
i would LOVE to get a new cakestand!!
Dawn
I would love to buy a comforter or bedspread. Ours is getting really old, but with two little ones…the budget money needs to go elsewhere.
Vanessa
Oh how I’d love to spend this gift certificate!
Jen R
Wow, I love all of your finds! I think the birdcages are absolutely beautiful!
Michelle
There is a Home Goods store literally less than 3 miles away from the house I’ve lived in for nearly 8 years now, and I have *never* set foot inside it! Your post totally changed that, I need that cake plate with the ribbon running through it. I need one right now!
Brittney S
I could really use a cake platter
Karen Osborne
Would love to win the Home Goods giftcard. Home Goods is most favorite stores. I love Home Goods!!!
Lin
Lamps and picture frames. I desperately need lamps and picture frames.
Chantal J
Judging from the price tag, it seems like it’s part of the same mother company as Canada’s Winners and Homesense. :O
Suki Lotti
1. A tea pot. I’ve been wanting one for a long time now.
2. A lamp. My living room needs one.
3. A comfortable chair. My living room needs one. And so does my not-yet-existent desk.
4. One of those stinkin cute little chairs. Perfect for my almost one year old!
Any one of those; take your pick. :)
Courtney
oh my. Im smitten with those cake plates!!!
Teasa
I love HomeGoods! And would love to win this!
Sally
The bookends were great but so were the ribbon cake plates. And that quilt was bee-u-tea-ful.
Kris
I would buy something for my bedroom. We’ve lived in this house for 8 years and the nail holes from the last owner are still adorning our walls. Sad, but very true!
Julia Hammond
Wow… never been to HomeGoods…looks great.
I’d love to go with a gift card :)
Julie
Oh, the cake plate looks darling! I would love to buy that.
Paula @ JC's Loft

Paula
Niki
I need so much stuff there’s no telling what I would wind up with!

kendra

Deidre Mooney
I amon the lookout for a great ottoman..this would go a long way towards geting one!!
Gina Arkell
I would probably use it toward a big wall mirror.
Marie Burnett

Jenn
Oh cute! I love those cake stands! So adorable!
I always find the perfect something for my MIL at Homegoods, so pick me and I can buy her a present! :)
mab
Fabulous finds! I got out my Christmas boxes today and realized that most of them are in storage! So, our house is sadly bare. Should I drive to my in-laws (5 hours) and get them out of storage? Or just buy new goodies? I think we’ll buy and have some fun making things to decorate the house this year.
Thanks for the chance to enter!
Robin
My daughter was married over the summer. Her theme was Vintage Garden. All of our decor came from Marshalls/Home Goods, $ store finds and the craft store. It was gorgeous. No one would believe it if I told them where we got everything! Love Home Goods!!!
I would look for some new linens. There is nothing like new linens to lift your spirits on a dreary winter day…
Crystal
Love the products! Hope I Win!

Amanda H
My mom and I have been slowly decorating (at the speed of craigslist and waiting for “finds”) the spare bedroom in her house that was created when the last of her chicks finally left the nest this summer. Would love to spend this on new bedding (much like the quilt you have pictured, love it!) and surprise her with fresh bed linens in that room! Thanks for the post, will definitely be a Home Goods shopper!
Lora
I love that store. I always find beautiful teacups there. Thanks for the giveaway!
Rachel
It’s not a question of what I would buy, it’s a question
of what wouldn’t I buy!!! :)This store is THE best!!! If I had to narrow
it down I would probably look for bedding for my master bed.
leslie sloan
I love HomeGoods! I would totally spend that gift card in the bedding department! My master bedroom is in sorry shape and needs some attention!
Heather A
That quilt is beautiful!
kaholly
I would outfit my daughter’s kitchen. She needs everything new from tea towels to mixing bowls.
Courtney
Home Goods is my mom’s favorite store! She just bought a set of new plates there, so I would use the gift card to buy her a matching piece – maybe a nice platter or tea pot or something! Awesome giveaway!
Lorri
I totally love the musical symbol bell “wreaths!” I totally want to make one. Maybe if I win I won’t have to make it! :) Thanks! I think I drive by a Home Goods on the way home everyday, might have to make a stop!
linda
i just got a house so i have been buying a lot there lately.
Kellie Pringle
I would love to check out HomeGoods for the first time with this gift card! Thank you for your awesome blog!

Thanks for the giveaway!
Teresa Novak
Oh, I need a new quilt for our guest room, and sheets to match.
Julie
I LOVE HOMEGOODS! But I too, have 3 little ones that make it nearly impossible to shop there. However if I were to win, I think I’d have to get a babysitter so I could buy a large mirror for my entryway…or perhaps some new lamps for my master bedroom nightstands! I sure hope I win!!
Wanda
I have never been in HomeGoods. Will definitely go this weekend. You showed us so many things. I will definitely be looking for something for my daughter’s apartment…Hoping I can score on a computer desk! Thank you for all the effort you put forth in your blog. It is appreciated.
Meghan
I just LOVE homegoods! My mom has never been there, and it would be so nice to take her with a gift card in my hands! Thanks for the opportunity!
Anne
I love that Wedgwood ornament!
Kelli
Those cake stands are adorable! I would probably get some kind of wall art for my bedroom…the walls are kind of boring and bare!
Tessa
I think I would buy bath towels!
Michelle, Muffin Tin Mom
oh wow! I love home goods, I will need to check ans see if there is one near my home. If I had 50 dollars to Home Goods, i would buy those eyelet cake pedastals and maybe some new drinking glasses.
What a fantastic giveaway. seriously. it’s unique and to a place I LOVE.
Michelle, Muffin Tin Mom
I tweeted it. :)

I love Homegoods–I never leave the store empty-handed!
Maria
I would buy dishes and lots of them:)
Sara
I LOVE Home Goods!!! I’d buy decorative accessories for my mantel or a really cool mirror.
Mr. Goodwill Hunting
Sheets. Oh sheets
shannon
I LOVE Homegoods! I would buy an outfit for my upcoming holiday party. Or maybe a new lamp. I’m always on he hunt for a new lamp :)
Mr Goodwill Hunting
I love home goods! That lamp you purchased looks gorgeous!

Lauren nguyen
I would buy one of those ribbon cake plates. I’ve been trying to find one at a decent price. I’d also like to find some accessories to put in my master bedroom.
jill
mirrors. they have so many wonderful mirrors!
Joy
I absolutely LOVE HomeGoods! My husband and I found a $400 leather chair for $160 because someone was careless with a box cutter. Needless to say, my husband got his leather chairs years before we thought we would be able to afford one! With a baby on the way, I know I can get lots of goodies for the nursery!
mila
Christmas gifts — so will use it for christmas gifts! Mom, Aunts, Cousins — my list are endless

Callie
I love homegoods! And I would shop for my boss and officemates!
Yasi
If i were to win i would buy a comforter for my bedroom or shelves for my dinning room.
Danielle
I would love to buy any of the glass vases they carry. There are so many unique things- I might need more than $50! :) *crosses fingers*
Tricia Hicks
I would love to shop at Homegoods! I don’t shop there very much though because, honestly, I find that they are a little pricey. In my town, they are in the same strip mall as Stein Mart and Ross. Several times I’ve found the exact same thing at all three with Ross always being the cheapest. More clutter, but cheaper. I’ll give em another try though with a gift card!
Ruthie Rosenstock
I love those ribbon cake platters! They would make such great gifts.
Hilary
Homegoods has some really good deals on really high quality pots and pans. Calphalon, KitchenAide, Cuisinart, The Palm. Tri-ply stainless steel – ooooo. I just spent $100 on pots for the local Fire Station at Home Goods (odd story) and was thinking I would like to have a new 1.5Qt and 3 Qt pot.
Reality though is that if I had $100 gift card there I would look at electric blankets. Or I would take a look at the larger furniture they have and see if they have a wardrobe since this 1950’s house doesn’t have a lot of closet space.
Heather Weisenfels
I would love the chance to win this!! I would get a tea pot, cups, and Christmas items. I am sure i would find more too. I have never been to home goods, (we dont have one in my small town. But I will be finding one and going this weekend.. Looks like i could have soooo much fun there.
thank you for the chance to win,
Heather
Jordan
Hmmm, I’d buy a lamp … or a rug … or some Christmas decorations … or …
Jessie C.
I’d like to get some tea cup sets for my sister.

I would love to update some of my decor: new pillows, lamps, and art pieces for my living room. Or new decor for my dining room. There is so much that I want to change!
Ashlei
I would love to win this! I love Homegoods so much that the Hubby has banned me from going there! I need to win this!!!
Emily
I am in desperate need of a lamp, and curtains! And I absolutely love home goods, but more so your blog! Cheers!
Elisha
So sad, another giveaway for us residents only. I wonder who will win!
Lauri
I can’t even begin to count how many cool things I’ve picked up at Home Goods. So glad there’s one close by! It would be awesome to shop on someone else’s dime. Thanks for the chance.
shelli
we desperately need new lampshades!
One word: Toddler. ;)
Karen C
I would buy presents for everyone on my Christmas list! It would be so helpful since our Christmas budget this year is ZERO!
Kimberly
I love Home Goods, have shopped there for several years. They always have great variety, and their lamp selection is always unique. I can always find something I “need!”
Corynne Escalante
this was a fun post! i think i would definitely check out something in the home goods section if i one. there’s many a quilt or lamp i could use….
becky
they have a little of everything! i usually buy cooking stuff there!
boon1211 at gmail dot com
Morgan O.
I would use the gift card to buy an Xmas gift for my uncle – maybe a cool art piece or some decor for his office. I’d maybe have to score one of those cake plates for myself too :)
Julia
Since I’m just about done christmas shopping, I think I would get myself something le creuset. My location always has some in stock. Love it!
Morgan O.
I blogged about it here!
Angelia
Look at all those cute teapots! I would probably use the gift card to buy one for my best friend. She lives 500 miles from me, but we still have tea together over the phone or online!
Lauren Davison
Lamps, cake stands, teapots! What WOULDN’T I buy!? :)
Angela Ryan
I am so excited that they opened a Homegoods store on the other side of town from my house… I get to redo my holiday plating now :)
Karah
I’ve been eying that cake stand with the ribbon for quite a while now. I was just in Home Goods yesterday and there are things around every turn that I want. Right now I’m mainly looking for little knick-knacks to decorate my new home :)
Deanna
Its been ages since I’ve been to Homegoods. I forgot how much variety they have at such good prices. Thanks for the reminder. Would love to take a giftcard there to supplement a shopping spree!
Nicolette
Ok…so I’m being sort of lazy by not looking through all 168 other comments to see if this answer has already been posted but….How does Home Good s compare to TJ Maxx and Marshalls? I believe they are owned by the same parent company, so are the priced the same?
thank you!
Sarah H.
I would take that gift card and buy some awesome accent pillows so that I could finally have a color palette to work with for my new freshly whitened living room!!!

Seeing as how money is tight this season I’d be spending mine on presents and maybe some sort of small christmas tree to decorate.
Christie
I love those cake plates and tea pots! I know I should be thinking of others and say that I’d buy a gift for a relative or friend, but those cake plates seriously have me itching to run out and get one now. Maybe I’ll just share the cake I bake to put on my new cake plate. :)
Kawa
Presents for family (especially my sister, who also has her birthday coming up on the 19th) and friends! I could also use a whistling kettle.
Barb
I would probably get one of the cake plates AND a teapot. I LOVE tea and collect teapots; I even have a gorgeous red one from HomeGoods–a gift. Love, love, love the be-ribboned cake plates! I do a lot of baking, so it would be a much used, highly visible adornment for my cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc., etc.!
Joy Miller
This would be an AWESOME shopping experience. So much cool stuff. Keep spreading the holiday cheer! Thanks Dollar Store Crafts!!!
Jess Pat
Love Homegoods
Emily
I’ve been meaning to go check out Home Goods. This would give me even more reason to finally do it!
Hesper
I MUST have one of those cake stands! Love it! I just emailed my husband and told him it is imperative that we get to HomeGoods this weekend! ha!
Betty
I envy you your trip to HomeGoods as I’ve never been. Looks like they have great stylish items at great prices.
Stacia
I have seen a cake stand similar to the second one you showed us, and was wondering where in the world I could get one for myself. Now I know, and I hope I win so I can go get it!
Jenni
Oh man what a great giveaway. I love Homegoods!
Kara Thompson
I would love to win this and get some new bedding….master bed room is next up for us to tackle :)
Cheri
I love Homegoods!!
Susan
I’d buy sheets! Boring, but I need ’em. :)
susan
I was just in Homegoods today and was in love with everything in that store. I love the cake stands, the candleabras with the added bling, and the beautiful holiday signs and pink ornaments. I plan on doing pink and silver or black ornaments on my tree this year & HG had plenty of ornaments to choose from. Sadly I walked out of there empty handed… those darn bills won’t pay themselves. lol
Beth Wennerstrom
We just got a king size bed…it seems with each kid born, our bed needed to expand….but have no comforter on it. Right now we both use twin size comforters on our sides! Classy!!!! I would definitely get a new comforter. I LOVE HomeGoods…my absolute favorite place to shop!
erisgrrrl
I adore cake stands but can never justify that type of purchase. So, if it was essentially “free” I’d go nuts with them! :D And that 2nd ribbon one is amazing! :D
Young Wife
I love the cake stands! I’d also look into getting some more dishes.
Ginger
Oh, LOVE Home Goods… I’d be tempted to stock up on all their kitchen stuff (my favorite), but I’m miles and miles from a Home Goods, so I think I’d have to pass it along as a New Year’s present to my little sister, in her first home as a married lady.
Sherry
to Nicolette — We have a HomeGoods right next door to a TJ Maxx, and not far away another one in the same plaza as a Marshalls! I find the prices to be about the same on the same items in all three (and I mean EXACTLY the same items!) (Marshall’s seems a bit more expensive, sometimes.) Sometimes things go on clearance at one place or another earlier, though, so that’s something to check. TJ Maxx and Marshall’s feature clothing, though. Both have some of the home decor stuff, but that’s HomeGood’s main deal. (I don’t buy clothes at either place, so I can’t comment on price comparisons for that.)
Angela D
I am in desperate need of serving plates. I only have 2. I set out my stuff in mismatched plastic bowls. I have been coveting some for so long, but I’m always too “frugal” to break down and buy some. Or dishes. Or a new quilt.
Stacey Ball
I would love to buy cute toys for my son to play with, they have a great selection of wooden toys!
Megan
First off, I ADORE Homegoods! I enjoy just even windowshopping on a boring evening.
I would love to put the giftcard to an Entryway Table. I have a small front room and would love to spruce it up a little bit with a table with pictures and other decorative things!
Michelle @ Italian Mama Chef
I love Homegoods!!! I would buy a piece of Italian pottery or some more glass storage jars for my kitchen. Thanks!

I would love to have the blue quilt that you wanted and I’m sure that if I won, I could find something wonderful to go with it.
Meredith
I would buy one of those cute ribbon plates! I love giving them as wedding gifts with a set of Bic markers. I have one that I write seasonal messages or scripture verses on. I need to write PEACE or JOY or something on mine today to remind me of my goals for this busy season. ;)
Kristie McNealy
I love the cake stands, but I’d probably look for bedding for my girls’ room!
shel
A new comforter for my daughter’s room. I bought her last set at HomeGoods and she’s now outgrown the baby look…time for something more grown-up.
Dana
i would get gifts for my friends who recently bought a house. I love getting nice dishes from Homegoods.
J. J.
I would get some new towels, I know boring but functional.
Sue
I would be shopping the glass and vase aisle and throw in some picture frames for good luck. I could spend hours in that store if I got a few hours to myself that is LOL
Jen
I love homegoods deals on furniture. Good quality, fashionable stuff for a great price. I’ve been checking out some of their living room chairs and they have some that match my couch. Might use it towards that or one of the super cute children’s chairs that they have in their kids section.
Schmidty
I would get a quilt, or maybe a cake stand. Thanks!

I have never been to Homegoods, it looks a little like Ross maybe. Fun prize! Thanks for the contest. I love your Mrs. Potts teapot…and I like Earl Grey too. :) If I won I would probably look for a King size comforter or blanket.
Dorothea
So many pretty things to choose from! I’m sure I wouldn’t have any problems finding something pretty for myself or, for a gift!

kathy w
I would buy a lamp for my son’s bedroom.

I have a home goods store about 25 minutes from my home and have NEVER been! I am not sure what I would buy…have always heard about the great lamps but the teapots looked interesting too!

I would buy some cool artwork for my living room and kitchen. And a ton of kitchen gadgets, cake stands, and other things I can’t seem to pass up!
Johanna
I LOVE this store!!! I would definitely find something glittery or shiny—they always have the best holiday decor like that!!!! (all holidays!)
Crina
I’ve never been (not a one in town) but you can believe I’d find one if I won this giftcard! :) As to what I’d get…wall art and/or frames. I might get distracted by other things on the way though…lol Thanks for the opportunity!
Debra
I would buy Christmas gifts. I love this store.
Amy in TX
I would give the gift card to my daughter’s teacher, who is really going above and beyond to take care of my daughter’s needs. She was recently married and loves Home Goods (who doesn’t) so I’m sure she would find lots of good stuff.
Susan Spiers
Gosh, so many pretty things! Something for XMAS of course & the rest on something for my walls?

I have been looking for those cake plates!!! I passed one by at Marshall’s and have been kicking myself ever since! It would be really cute with both of those stacked. And I LOVE the scallop tea pot. I wonder how soon I can make it to my store…
Ann
What would I buy? That’s hard to answer, because I LOVE HomeGoods! I’d probably look for something like a small console table for our entry–I don’t suppose 50 would cover the entire price but it would help a lot!
Melanie M
I would get something to make my walls less bare! =)
Gloria
I want to get a new duvet cover, so if I won the giftcard, that’s what I’d be looking for!

I had never heard of HOME GOODS until recently when I began to read about it on various blogs. I would love to win a gift card and would probably use it for a cloche or apothecary jar(s) if HG has them. If not I would love some other new accessories for my home. I’ve got my fingers & toes crossed!

What a fun store for purchasing gifts for others. I could also spend more than 2hrs in HomeGoods.

I’ve been avoiding the local Home Goods because my boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend works there, but a $50 gift card would make it worth the risk of running into her!
Lisa
I’ve been wanting to get myself a teapot, but the fancy ones I’ve seen are so expensive. I could buy one of those $9.99 babies and decorate it myself!

Since we are moving next month, I would want to use it for some new decor for our home.
