***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.

Lauren says
LAMP ME!
White Christmas tree lights or a fireplace!
Ben B says
LAMP ME! I like white lights wrapped around tree trunk/limbs.
Meredith K A says
LAMP ME! Outside I prefer simple white lights & spotlights for wreaths, but inside on the tree I use old-fashioned colorful big C7 unfrosted lights.
Rissa says
LAMP ME! I’m all about the glow of a fireplace. Christmas lights are okay, but only if they are energy efficient LEDs!
Jen says
“LAMP ME!”
I prefer white Christmas lights but alas, I have been overruled by my boys so bring on the color!!
Whitney says
LAMP ME! I love lights in general. My husband and I are in the process of upgrading the lights in our 1980’s house to more modern fixtures so this would be an amazing prize to win!
And, I have to say that I look forward every year to seeing the houses over-done in Christmas lights. It’s so fun!
Kira K. says
Lamp Me!
I enjoy just a simple Christmas tree lit with white lights.
Ashley D says
LAMP ME!
Nothing beats the light of a crackling fire in the fireplace. But a sparkly lit chandelier does come in a close second.
Dana says
LAMP ME!! My favorite holiday light is my menorah! :)
Sarah J. says
Lamp me!
I’m dying for a fireplace right now…
Christine says
Lamp me! I love the look of wreaths on all the windows and a single spotlight shining on the house. It plays up the architecture without requiring a zillion hours on a ladder outlining the roof and windows!
(And PS, you guys missed an awesome chance to incorporate “I love lamp” into a giveaway. Unless of course you already have and I just missed it ;) )
Tammy says
LAMP ME!
My favorite is the soft white lights that glow behind all my children’s homemade ornaments.

I love white twinkle lights on my tree and outside! Though I have seen some homes with wonderfully executed “retro” big colored lights . . .
Lauren says
LAMP ME!
It’s a tie between the white lights in a christmas tree and a real fire in a fireplace. Add some snuggling with the hubby and pup while we drink hot chocolate and I’m officially in heaven.
Brent says
LAMP ME!
My favorite holiday lights are simple, white twinkle lights. I love the ambiance they create, I use them all year round in my studio.

LAMP ME! We are full-on Griswolds this year; every color of light – everywhere!!!

I adore the tradition white Christmas lights on our tree. It’s plain but so cozy!

Thanks,
Kyle

Can you post a link to that AMAZING wire chandelier? Because that’s exactly what I’d buy if I won the giveaway (and maybe even if I don’t, depending on the price!)
Tracy says
LAMP ME! I love white lights on my Christmas tree and wrapped around the trunks of multi-branched trees outside. Also, love the glow of my Christmas village at night.
Megan Eagan says
Lamp Me! I’m a traditional white light kind of girl :)
Cheryl says
LAMP ME!
Wish we could have the tree glow year round.
Stephanie says
LAMP ME! I absolutely adore small, white lights everywhere! I prefer to keep them up year round. They add such a festive feeling to everyday.
Katherine says
LAMP ME!!
I love the glow of a Christmas tree. In fact, after we put ours up this weekend, I spent most of my time in the living room just staring at it. I tried to convince my preschooler to join me so I’d look less ridiculous, but alas…
Rebecca Bausch says
Lamp me! My favorite Christmas lights would have to be my tree. I love sitting in my living room after work and just enjoy my tree.
Ashley says
LAMP ME!
We got to put lights on our (first!!) house this year, so I really enjoy seeing the glow of the white icicle lights and porch garland outside my windows. :)
Jenny says
LAMP ME! I love the old-fashioned bubble lights!

I love white lights – but now that I have kdis we do colors for more fun!
Julie says
LAMP ME!
The light of the fireplace!

I love the white lights on the tree. As a kid we would lay underneath and stare up… I need to teach my son that trick.
Mary McG says
LAMP ME! I love looking at my tree with lights on it. It is so glowey and beautiful!
Leah says
Lamp me!
My favorite holiday lights are the white ones folks cover their trees in. Blue works too. I just love seeing the random, occasional tree completely dripping in light in the pitch black night.
Andrea P. says
LAMP ME!
All-white twinkle lights for me… Sets the perfect Christmas mood :)
Katie says
LAMP ME!
I love multicolored lights on a Christmas tree, and those giant multi-colored bulbs on a house. And white lights wrapped around trees and bushes (the tedious ones that are wrapped around every branch).
Donelle says
LAMP ME! My favorites are the huge colored bulbs that they don’t make anymore, so now I’m a white light decorator!
Lindsey says
LAMP ME!!! These people that live down the road from us have a life-size scrap metal running horse statue. Every x-mas they wrap the horse in white lights so when you drive by at night, all you can see is this lit up horse running across their field. Beautiful!
