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! Our neighbors have a big old victorian house and every year they toss about ten strands of lights out a window and shut it – ta da! It’s super tacky, but a weird tradition we look forward to! I love the big old chunky multicolored Christmas lights.

gisselle Ramos says
Lamp me PLEASE!!!
Where do I begin? I love taking long walks in the evening with my hubby during the holidays! We live in Florida, so we can do that. I love looking at all the homes decked out in Christmas lights, it brings back all of those childhood feelings of warmth and awe! :)

Lamp me! There’s a beautiful colonial home near where I grew up that has candles in the window and lighted wreaths every holiday season. I am always sure to drive by at least once when visiting!

LAMP ME! I love a Christmas tree PACKED with ornaments and lights – I mean ornaments on every branch, and ones that plug into the lights to make them spin.
Holly says
LAMP ME! I’m a fan of the colored lights on our tree this year….we switched it up from the usual white.
Courtney says
LAMP ME! I love the Christmas/twinkly lights my family keeps hanging around our fireplace year-round. It started out unintentionally/laziness that we left it up about a decade ago past the new year, but now it’s sort of a family inside joke to enjoy it at random times during the year!
Jacqueline says
LAMP ME!!! Nothing like the fireplace :)
Elizabeth E says
LAMP ME.
I love the big old fashioned colored bulbs on a tree–probably because growing up we only had white lights on our tree,
Maggie says
LAMP ME!
Growing up we always had a Moravian Star hanging on our front porch. Gorgeous, and we often added white or blue twinkle lights with fir garland. And as one of 18 row houses in our block it made it really easy to identify for cab drivers or visitors!
