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…

LAMP ME! I love a bright, well-lit tree all aglow!
Katy says
Lamp Me!
I just moved into a new apartment and the living area doesn’t have overhead lights and since it’s a rental we can’t do any major electrical projects. We’re looking for a cool arc floor lamp and this looks like just the place! As far as Christmas lights go, I love the look of soft white lights up against fresh garland. It’s so cozy and warm!

Love when the living room is lit by the Christmas tree. Life feels merry when the tree is lit :)
SaraK says
LAMP ME! My favorite type of holiday light was going to be white fairy lights in a pine tree, until I saw “the warm crackle of a fire in your fireplace.” But then someone mentioned icicle lights…can I just pick “all of them?” :-)

Megan Sanders says
LAMP ME! If I had a fireplace, it would be that. Alas, I do not, so I settle for lots of candlelight.

LAMP ME (please).
I’m a sucker for icicle lights hanging from house eaves. Good thing too because we have thousands of them left over from our August wedding. :)

Lamp me! We are a traditional clear-light kind of family, but went on a neighborhood sleigh ride last week that has me kind of lusting for LEDs.

Lamp me! Nothing beats a white twinkle light wrapped in green garland… Love it!

LAMP ME! I love the warm crackle of a fire in the fireplace

LAMP ME! I’m an oodles-of-little-white-lights on the Christmas tree kind of gal. My husband prefers multicolored lights, so we compromise, but it is a bit contentious every year.

Cali says
LAMP ME! I don’t think it gets any better than a fire in the fireplace when it’s snowing.
Raeann says
LAMP ME!
Personally, I love some warm cozy fireplace time, and pretty white twinklers on a tree. However, if I’m out light-seeing on the town, I want to see crazy rainbow icicles around the front porch, faux fireplaces lit up in the lawn, inflatable santas on the roof, giant painted cartoon characters assembled around a nativity…you name it! The weirder, the merrier.
Vanessa says
LAMP ME!
I loooove the old school colored house lights with the big fat bulbs and almost dull glow? They’re my favorite – I hate all the new LED lights. I know they’re environmentally friendly but they just don’t feel as cozy!
Sarah says
“LAMP ME!”
I love when white Christmas lights are strung on bare trees and in the dark they look like they are floating in mid-air!
Merry Christmas, Petersiks!
Amanda Jean says
Lamp me…a leg lamp!!!
Marti Bailey says
