Fab Freebie: Christmas Lights

***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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Lamps Plus.

    I like those big giant old outdoor Christmas lights that get so hot they’ll melt ya’! (I don’t like the melting part, but those lights are still the prettiest to me.)

    I love lamp.

    My favorite lights are the old school big colored bulbs and I also love plain white lights on a real Christmas tree!

    Classic white twinkle lights are my favorite for my own house. But I love looking at the BIG old school colored lights on some houses.

  14. LAMP ME!!! I love white lights but my husband wants colored lights. For 23 years we had colored lights at Christmas. But this year, we have white light inside and colored lights on the front porch and bushes. Compromising has brought us to our 24th wedding anniversary on New Years Eve!!!!

    I love white lights on a Christmas tree – nothing better :) Although I can definitely appreciate all of the colors decorating houses!

  27. LAMP ME!! B/c I spend most of the winter inside, I’d say my favorite light is actually candlelight. Does that count?! It’s so cozy and helps make home inviting…especially in the winter months with 6′ of snow!

  31. LAMP ME!! I’m definitely a white bulb kind of gal for my tree but nothing beats flickering candle light and/or a fireplace.

  32. LAMP ME! I like pretty much any holiday light from bubble lights on the Christmas tree to a warm crackly fire (although we don’t have a fireplace). Unfortunately, the only lights I’m not a fan of are the new LED ones. I’m a fan of their energy efficiency, but they’re just plain ugly.

    MY favorite holiday lights are the old style big bulb multi-colors! Just one strand across the house is perfect! But since I cannot find them, I would go with all white. Again simple and not overdone!

    I’ve gotta love the warm crackle of my pellet stove (so it’s not a full blown fire place, and it’s not the most goregeous, but it certainly keep me warm!) and the shadows it casts on the wall at night.
