***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…

Candace J says
LAMP ME!
I loved my parent’s Christmas tree, which dad would set up with over 1,000 bulbs, and have the lights set up to fade slowly in and out. Magical.

Lamp me!
My favorite lights are the old-fashioned, multi-colored bulbs. They remind my of Christmas at my grandparent’s house :)

sara says
lamp me! I love the glow of christmas lights, so pretty!:)
Bridey says
I love all white, but my kids begged for multi-colored this year and they look great, too! It’s fun to have the kids involved. I’m sure I will have decades of a “designer tree” in the future. I’m loving our family tree.
Alicia says
LAMP ME! I have to say my favorite light is the reason for the season, the birth of Jesus, the Light of the World!
Mary B says
LAMP ME!
I’ve always liked the clean look of all-white lights on the Christmas tree. My mom loves the multicolors and we used to get in arguments when it was time to trim the tree.

LAMP ME! I love white Christmas lights, whether on the tree or on the outside of our house. And while I love color throughout my home, I can’t stand colored holiday lights!
Stacy says
LAMP ME! I love old-school lights – the big, fat bulbs with a kind of a matte glow (oxymoron?).
Katie says
LAMP ME! I like a simple string of holiday lights (we’ve been sporting color lights for a couple of years) but my husband is trying to convince me that we need the full-shebang for outdoor decorations!
