***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.

LAMP ME!
christmas tree lights are great and we’ve gone all LED because they are brighter and seem to last so much longer. we have tons of those little plastic tea lights, my kids love playing with them and they’re safe to have around the house… but nothing compares to a crackling fire or a mantle covered in real candles and tea lights. i love the glow of real flames. #pyroissues

LAMP ME! My favorite holiday light of all time is on top of our christmas tree. My parents salvaged it from the neighbors trash when my brother was born (1965) and it is a beautiful tin star with acrylic pieces coming out and a light inside. So cool.

I love white lights on the tree – it give the ornaments to chance to shine. My 5 yr old disagrees – the houses with the most crazy decorations (like our neighbors whose colored lights and characters flash at different random times). He says they have ‘the true spirit of Christmas!’

Lamp Me!
I’m a white light kinda girl, but I can dig on the chunky multicolored lights as well. I haven’t figured out how to make them work in my house yet.

I am a white light fan. The hubby prefers colored. I just heard about lights at Home Depot that can change from colored to white and back again with a remote. Might need to check that out to help preserve the marital bliss.

Chris says
LAMP ME! For us, it’s the white lights on the big tree in the family room and the color lights on the smaller tree in the living room, plus candles for that extra glow & sparkle!
susan says
lamp me!
My favorite are old fashioned bubble lights that you could string on the Christmas tree. I remember seeing them on my grandma’s tree as a young child and being captivated by the moving water inside.
