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.

LAMP ME! I love them all — the sparkly little white lights, the over the top colorful bulbs, the houses decked in so many lights you can see them a mile away…. Light light light!

LAMP ME!
A beautiful fragrant candle.

I love white Christmas lights on a Christmas tree, with lots of silver and white glittery ornaments for tons of sparkle!
Trilby says
LAMP ME! My favorite is the glow of a colorfully lit Christmas tree each evening in our cozy living room.
holly says
LAMP ME! I love soft white twinkle lights strung about the house…and our woodwick campfire candle crackling. (if we had a fireplace, that would take the cake)
Christina W. says
LAMP ME! I have “candlelight” white on our tree and I love it.

Lamp Me!
We just bought our first home this summer, and couldn’t decide which type of lights to choose for our porch. Ended up meeting in the middle with white icicle lights framing our bay window and multi-colored bulbs for our pilars!
Linda says
LAMP ME! Recently went to Longwood Gardens – best Christmas light display ever!
Marie says
Lamp me!
I’m definitely a fireplace kind of a gal.
Sam M. says
Lamp Me!
I’m a fan of the old-school big colored lights on a house, and the tiny white ones on a tree (I thought I was a rarety, but I guess not!)
Laura Monroe says
Lamp me! I love the old fashioned large outdoor lights from the 50’s. Retro is so much more fun!
Lynn R says
Lamp me! White candles at dusk, of course…
Megan says
LAMP ME!
I love the old fashioned (big colored bulbs) on our porch. They remind of the lights my grandma used to put up on the massive pine tree in her front yard.
Meagan says
LAMP ME! (please)
Ooh, this one is easy — I’m 100% in favor of candle or fireplace light. If it has to be electrical, true white lights (none of those LED ones) are the lights for me.

LAMP ME! I do love simple white lights everywhere!

LAMP ME!

LAMP ME!
I come from a very simple Christmas decor background with classic white lights. My husband grew up with every kind of Christmas decor you could think of complete with a giant glowing Santa head mounted on the front of his childhood home every year. We’re a mixed family. :)

Sarah says
LAMP ME!
I love colorful lights on the tree. Never tried white, though!
Haley says
LAMP ME!!
I love having a fire in the fireplace. So cozy.
Laura M says
LAMP ME! My favorite type of holiday light is either the Christmas tree or the Christmas village I’m slowly but surely building. I’ve been a fan of those ever since I was little, and now I get to have one of my own!
Emily says
LAMP ME! My husband cameput up white Christmas lights on the exterior of our house this year. It was very surprising because he is a total grinch about Christmas. He said he knew it would make me happy. Awww :)
DeAnn says
Lamp me! We bought a house last year and are in serious need of some new lighting in the kitchen. I love the glow from the holiday lights on the tree.

LAMP ME!
I love the white glow of lights on Christmas trees, mantels, banners, anything that will make my home festive! on the inside :)
Michelle says
Lamp me!
It’s not Christmas until the tree is all decked out in lights (which means it’s not Christmas yet since our tree is still naked).
Ashley says
LAMP ME! It’s a tie between the christmas tree and the fire! :)

LAMP ME!!! I like white lights on the tree but the big colorful bulbs on everything else.
Fabio says

The fireplace, of course.
