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…

Lamp Me!
I love all of the lights of Christmas (I’m a bit of a light junkie!), but my favorite has to the the twinkle of hundreds of tiny white lights on the Christmas tree.
Susann says
LIGHT ME!
I prefer the crackling fire — unfortunately, I don’t have a fireplace! I actually requested a DVD of one, just to give me the illusion, ha!
Susann says
sorry, LAMP ME!
Ashley says
Lamp me!! I love the way my Christmas tree looks at night. Especially from outside the front window :)
Jennifer D. says
Lamp me! We used to have these ‘bubble lights’ on our Christmas tree every year when I was a kid, and even though I’d probably think they were so tacky now, I don’t think I’ll ever love another type of holiday light more than those bubblers.

Anne F. says

I must say one of my favorite things to do is shut off all the lights and look at the glow of the christmas tree in front of a window while it’s snowing outside!

LAMP ME!!!
I love lights at Christmas time in general, but I am a sucker for white lights on a Christmas tree. There’s something so peaceful and warming about the glow! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

LAMP ME!
I love the white lights on our white Christmas tree. They look like tiny candles shining through the branches. So pretty!
Marissa says
LAMP ME! I love the look of clean, white lights. They naturally sparkle, look fresh, and do resemble the stars they’re supposed to mimic. A fireplace light is beautiful too, but “holiday” to me is more about the Christmas lights than the fireplace.
Lindsay says
Lamp me!

Jillian Rowland says
LAMP ME!
I have a soft spot for big vintage-looking colored lights.

Lamp me!
I love the look of an all white-light christmas tree…

Lamp Me! I love the Christmas Tree lights that fade in and out slowly.
