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.

Daffodil says
LAMP ME! My favorite holiday lights are the ones I’m not brave enough to do myself. I have a total soft spot for what a friend of mine calls “game-show lights.” You know — eleventy billion different strings of lights, different colors, different sizes, spinny things, inflatable things, synchronized-to-music things. The kind of lights where you know someone is spending an extra $100 a week just keeping them all lit. They are cheesy as all get-out but man, I really do love them.
Natasha Domek says
LAMP ME! My favorite Christmas lights are the blue icicle ones that hang from the rooftops!

LAMP ME!
I love the lights up on our patio. We have white lights up year round with yellow and orange paper lanterns hanging on them, but around this time of year, I take down the orange and yellow lanterns and put up red and green ones. Their soft glow gives off the perfect holiday feeling.
