***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…

Dana says
LAMP ME!
I love white sparkle lights…I’ve seen them in department stores (and I hear they have them at Disneyworld but I’ve never been). They don’t all blink, just a few random bulbs slowly dim in and out. They’re gorgeous and they really look like they’re twinkling, but I can’t find them for sale anywhere and I’ve been looking for two Christmases now :(
Pam Groom says
Lamp Me!
I love plain white Christmas lights on simple greenery or small plain trees. My favorite this year is in the bedroom. Fun “married people” mood lighting or for reading before bedtime.

Rachel says
LAMP ME! I love the glow of a few candles in the center of the table during holiday dinners.

Lamp me! I love fires in the fireplace during the holidays.

LAMP ME!
Clear bubble lights — they make me happy.
Brittany says
I love our Christmas tree. Something about it just always seems to make the day better when you get home. After driving to and from work in the darkness and not seeing much daylight durinfg the day unless I need to make a trip between buildings at work, seeing that Christmas tree and its lights and star at the top make me feel a little happier each day.
Ann Scott says
LAMP ME! My favorite lights at Christmas are the multi-colored lights on our Christmas tree. They illuminate the ornaments we have collected over the years – a wonderful mish-mosh of things the kids made and store bought, each with a memory. No decorator trees for us!
Sonya says
LAMP ME! I’m from New Mexico, so of course luminarias are my favorite holiday light. (That’s what my whole town calls them, but I’ve heard the proper term is ferolitas.)
candice says
Lamp Me!
I love the light and crackle of a wood burning fireplace which unfortunately we do not have. Maybe in our future house.
Cyndi L says
LAMP ME, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!
My favorite holiday lights are an all white tree with a bazillion tiny lights.
Kristen M says
LAMP ME!
Real fire at my parents house!
Ali says
LAMP ME!
We put up other lights for fun, but all *I* really need is the glow of Christmas tree lights. I like to sit in our living room in the dark at night and just look at the glow from the tree. :)
Julianne says
LAMP ME!
I love looking outside my front window and seeing the glow of my Christmas lights on my wrap-around porch, it’s beautiful.
Robin says
LAMP ME!! I love the glittering white lights on my tree! But I kinda wish I’d grabbed a few more strands. The lights near the bottom are kinda lean, giving it an ombre effect.
Kristin M says
LAMP ME! I a simple string of lights along the roof line of the house. Simple, elegant, classic.
Jess Mulloy says
LAMP ME! I’m a white light girl, and my husband is a colorful light man :)
PLEASE LAMP ME!!
Beth says
LAMP ME! My favorite holiday lights are definitely the Christmas tree. I would count the fireplace as #1, but since we heat our house with our beautiful, efficient woodstove, it’s not just a holiday thing to have a fire blazing. If we want to be warm, we have to keep it going! Truly though, there is little more enjoyable that plopping on the floor and falling asleep in front of that cozy heat all curled up with my husband and our pups.
