***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…

I am definitely a white light person, indoors and outdoors, especially in the snow!
Lamp ME!! I love those white string lights
LAMP ME! I LOVE THE BIG, COLORFUL VINTAGE/CERAMIC LIGHTS.
LAMP ME! I love the white lights on our Christmas tree in the evening when it’s dark.
LAMP ME! I’m a sucker for the fake candles people put in their windows in the northeast, where I’m from. They make me all misty-eyed.
“LAMP ME!”
The more colorful, the better!!
LAMP ME! The best lights of all are sparkling white mantle lights with stockings hung underneath.

I love our simple white lights on our Christmas tree…my kids however love driving around and finding the most decorated house!

I love classic white lights – we got some to put in our kitchen this year, and I don’t think I’m gonna take them down!
Lamp Me!
I’m a fan of the colorful Christmas tree, it brings back great childhood memories.
Lamp me! Love classic white Xmas lights and a warm fire, my fav!
Lamp Me!
I love lighting candles . . . especially one that smells like cookies!
Lamp me!
I love how the white lights on our tree reflect in the windows and make the whole place seem cozy!
LAMP ME! Under most circumstances I love the glimmer of white lights, but my 2 year old daughter’s color of choice this year for her room was PINK… and it’s growing on me :)
LAMP ME.
I am into the smell and look of the Bath & Body Works fall and winter scents we have all over the apartment.

I love the big retro colorful bulbs–they are just so festive and fun!

I love the white lights of my Christmas tree. I used colored lights for everything else, but keep the tree all white.
LAMP ME!
I love the clear lights on my tree. I could stare at them for hours.
Lamp Me!
I like the simple white lights on a Christmas tree. I love that they don’t take away from anything else and just add a special little glow. My husband loves blue lights on the tree. He just thinks they’re cool…we have a prelit Christmas tree (in white) but for years I’ve hoped to get him blue lights and decorate it just for him one year. But I’ve never done it.
LAMP ME!
I LOVE my white Christmas lights on our tree and going down our railing. I’m not the biggest fan of overhead lighting so this would be a treat!
Lamp Me! I’m a traditionalist — white lights (old school, not LED) all the way.
LAMP ME!
the cool tone LED white lights [like the icicles!] are my favorite. Simple, clean, not harsh on the eyes. They use less electricity and are cool to the touch. I used two strings to make a tree on the wall this year [couldn’t afford the real deal, haha.] and I love them to pieces. After Christmas I’m poking them into canvas for art.
“LAMP ME!”
•BONUS QUESTION: I like the ones that are blue but look purple.
Thanks for the giveaway.

LAMP ME!
I love seeing houses that go all out with their lights, a la the Griswold family in “Christmas Vacation”.
Lamp me!
My favorite holiday lights is my welcome light, which are popular in Scandinavia. It adds a cheerful glow to our living room, and makes our home look very cozy from the outside too.
Lamp me! I love white lights!
LAMP ME! I love walking through the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights.
LAMP ME!
I love the fireplace, colored lights on tree, white lights outside!

LAMP ME! Call me tacky, but I love my husband’s little neon tree. I didn’t at first, but it has really grown on me!
LAMP ME!
I love white christmas lights in a real Christmas tree (with lots of handmade and memory-filled ornaments) – makes me feel like a kid again!
LAMP mm!!!
I love simple white twinkling lights. Lovely.

White lights in a dark room :)
LAMP ME! I am obsessed with holiday lights. I love the classic white lights, but I also love going home to my fire place’s warm glow.
LAMP ME! I love the glow of the Christmas tree. I lose time staring at it.
LAMP ME!
Love me some colored christmas lights and a crackling fire!
LAMP ME!!
I love all the lights of Christmas but nothing beats a fire in the fireplace. The smell of wood smoke, the sound of the crackling fire, nothing even comes close. I think I will light a fire tonight in fact.
LAMP ME!
I love the big C9 light bulbs bc they remind me of Christmastime as a kid. Any color will do. :)
LAMP ME! Fireplace, hands down.
LAMP ME! While I love white lights (the boy and I line our windows with them in our apartment at this time of year!), my childhood favorite was (and always will be) bright, colorful mini-bulbs. Love ’em!
Lamp me! I love when people put light on the inside of the evergreen trees. They sparkle subtly and it is really pretty.
Lamp me!
I love white twinkle lights (but not twinkling…) interspersed with greenery and candles!
I never liked the old-school big primary color christmas lights, until we moved into our brick mid-century ranch home. Now, nothing else will do on our tree!
LAMP ME!
i think my favorite is the christmas tree, especially when i see it thru the living room window.
LAMP ME!!
I love the simple white Xmas lights :)
LAMP ME! I love white twinkle lights on houses and any single-color lights wrapped around trees – pretty!
