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…

I love candles. Real white ones all over the place. But it’s a little bit dangerous, huh?

LAMP ME!!! I love the light from a candle this year. Didn’t put up a tree b/c of travel plans this year so I am loving the pine scented candle!!! (not the same…but nice anyways)
stella g. says
LAMP ME! I love white Christmas lights on a tree decked out in the hodge podge assortment of sentimental and kiddie ornaments. (PS – I would love to win this! We live in military housing and lighting is one of the quickest and easiest ways to change things up – and then I can take it with me when we move. Which is often!)

Lamp Me!
Every year there’s this older house that looks like a gingerbread house when it’s all lit up. Their roof line is perfect for holiday lights and they also happen to be on the street that goes all out for the holidays (Christmas and Hanukkah), sometimes even with a common theme. I absolutely love it!
