***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
This week’s early Christmas present is going to… Nancy (who says she “could certainly use some new lighting” and her favorite holiday glow “has to be my fireplace.”) Congrats Nancy!
As much as we love holiday lights, indoor lighting is something that you stare at every day of the year. So if you don’t love your lighting situation, this is one way to “dude, get on that” without spending any cash. See, recently we were voted one of Lamps Plus’ top home blogs of 2012 (how flattering!) and it came with a $500 shopping spree prize… but you know we don’t take freebies or swag, so the folks at Lamps Plus kindly agreed that we could pass that $500 credit to one of you! We’ve been fans of theirs for a while now since they seem to have about a million options (their chandeliers even popped up in our book a few times) so this week’s winner should have no trouble finding something to spend their light-loot on if they win.
- PRIZE: $500 to spend at Lamps Plus.com
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “LAMP ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …your favorite type of holiday light. Do you love the white glimmer of a Christmas tree in your living room? The over-the-top glow of a house decked out in colorful bulbs on every surface? Or the warm crackle of a fire in your fireplace?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 19th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not able to vend things beyond the US – more on that here. This giveaway is open to the United States.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

The light from the fireplace, for sure. Too bad ours is gas-powered and hikes up the gas bill in a hurry every time we use it!

Lamp me!
I am a firm believer in more is more so I like to throw everything in the front yard that glows. This year, we have flying pigs because nothing says “Happy birthday, Jesus!” more than winged swine. My neighbor asked if we were going for Griswald Christmas and it made me beam with pride!

Renee says
Lamp Me!
I love the combo we have on our tree this year, white and blue lights! They work so well together. The blue helps it feel a little less formal.

Growing up we always had a giant real Christmas tree with those old-school colored lights, so I guess for nostalgia’s sake I’d have to go with those.

My favorite lights are when people hang strands down from a high point so that all the lights combined look like a Christmas tree.

Lamp me! My favorite is lighting up my silver tinsel tree — the tree magnifies the sparkling white lights and makes it so much lovelier. I load it up with vintage ornaments and handmade pompoms.
Kate Schneider says
Lamp me!!!
I love our white lights on the tree and would really, really like the warm light of a fire in the fireplace. We don’t have a fireplace but it’s nice to dream.
