***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…

My favorite is the way my hubby does the lights on our Christmas tree! He does layers starting from the inside and it makes the whole thing so sparkly and magical :-)
Though, I must say — I do miss having a fireplace :-)
Trela says
Lamp me!
I love the classic soft white Christmas light… perhaps it’s that the Brits sometimes call them “fairy lights” that makes them feel a little magical? I always hate taking them down in January — the rest of winter seems so cold without them.
K breck says
LAMP ME!!
I love the big colored bulbs
Sarah says
LAMP ME!!!
My favorite lights are Xmas eve after Santa has delivered the presents, the kids are asleep and there is a fire in the fire place. Santa and I dim the lights and have a glass of wine while staring at the tree and feeling blessed.

The old timey bubble lights (totally not a fire hazard at all….)

LAMP ME! I love all white lights on the tree!
Debbie says
LAMP ME!! I like the Christmas tree lights the best, when you can turn off all the other lights in the house and sit on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate in front of the tree. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Laurem says
LAMP ME! Can’t get enough of the huge colored bulbs, especially for outdoor lighting!
