***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.

I love the big fat colorful outdoor lights. We always had those on a tree and on our deck railing, it was the best.

LAMP ME! I like the small, colored strands of lights, but apparently that makes me white trash according to an xojane article. Hey, I like what I like and that happens to be the tiny multi-colored strands.

Lamp me! I don’t know if I can choose! We have white icicle lights on our house, but I also love our neighbors retro colored bulbs. Inside, have one tree with white lights and another with colored. I just love the fact that Christmas brings lots of colors and lights!

Donita says
“LAMP ME!” We like simple lights at Christmas. We have the old fashioned chunky colored bulbs around the edge of our roof, white lights around the windows, and white lights on our tree. NO TWINKLING OR FLASHING LIGHTS!!! Those make me dizzy. LOL We do have a 5 foot twinkling Frosty, for our front porch, but he needs an over haul on his lights. Merry Christmas !!!!!
Dara Jarvis says
LAMP ME!!! Love the glow of a fireplace (and the smell and the heat too), too bad we don’t have one. But I always enjoy it at friends and families houses.

LAMP ME!
I like the big giant retro colorful bulbs. I think one of my neighbors’ outdoor lights are from the 50s and legit! Probably a major fire hazard, but I admire them.
bdaiss says
Lamp me, please!
On the tree, (warm) white only so the ornaments can shine. The rest of the house is fair game though. :)
