Fab Freebie: Pump Up The Volume

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

I’m gonna bust out some flashback lingo from YHL circa 2008: prepare to swoon. This week’s giveaway is from our lovely sponsor Jessica Rose at Vol. 25, home to some of the most charming art around. I mean, how can you not fall for these robotic lovebirds?

Vol25 Robots

The great thing is that Jessica’s artwork comes in the form of prints, t-shirts, rubber stamps, mouse pads, books and even photoshop overlays (so you can add a little hand-drawn flare to a photo). And since we couldn’t even begin to pick just a few favorite items for the giveaway, Jessica’s hooking up TWO of you with $50 gift cards towards anything in her shop (plus there’s a discount awaiting everyone on Thursday so stay tuned for that). Now you that know what’s up for grabs – how ’bout some more eye candy?

Vol25 Bicycle

Vol25 Typewriter

And here are all the contest deets:

  • PRIZE: A $50 gift certificate towards anything from Vol. 25’s shops on Etsy or Zazzle.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with either the words “PUMP IT UP” or “TURN IT DOWN” depending on…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … whether you love a loud and lively lifestyle or you prefer to keep things quiet and peaceful. Do you feel better surrounded by lots of activity, energizing music, or boisterous laughter? Or would you rather find yourself in an intimate conversation, enjoying soothing nature sounds, or quietly reading a book?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 21th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: TWO
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world! Woo to the hoo.
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Find more freebie info on our Giveaway FAQs page. Pics courtesy of Vol. 25.

    I have to admit I’m a combo of PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN! I live for the excitement of a big night out or the travels that are a part of my career… but when I’ve been out of town for awhile or we’ve had a jam packed social calendar I crave a nice low-key weekend at home too.

    TURN IT DOWN 80% of the time.

    I am definitely a home body who prefers to stay in with a good movie and my fella on a Friday night. Don’t get me wrong though, I do enjoy a night on the town with my girls every once in a while.

    I love a lively atmosphere, music turned up so I can sing real loud. My family is huge and loud and always has something to say and I love it. Of course there’s always a breaking point where I’d rather turn it down…have some peace and quiet. Who doesn’t?

    I love both a quiet and fast-paced lifestyle. Being a Gemini it makes sense. I love to keep busy and have lots of friends and activities on the go. But I do enjoy and cherish down time where I can be peaceful and relaxed.

    I do enjoy the occasional night of having friends over playing Rock Band or being rowdy, but for the most part I prefer to chill at home with the hubby or be curled up with a book or the DVR.

    Those prints are adorable, btw :)

    TURN IT DOWN . . . on the weekdays

    I’ve got two energetic young girls who get naps during the day so by the time I get off of work, I am looking for quiet and peaceful, loads of cuddles and talking with them to find out what’s on their minds.

    PUMP IT UP . . . on the weekends

    On the weekends, I like to have social gatherings and to explore the city with my girls since we hardly get to do anything during the week. Weekends are fun fun fun!

    Thanks!

    I like social situations with a few close friends, boisterous conversations, and rowdy card games, as long as it’s a small crowd…

    …but I like sitting with a good book just as much. Just depends on my mood. :)
