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.

    My idea of pumping it up is dancing around with my 18 month old in my arms to the theme song for Curious George! Needless to say we’re a turn it down family!

    I get antsy if I’m not having a good amount of social interaction. Even if it’s not going out to drinks or dinner with friends, it’s getting together to go to the climbing gym with them, or having them over for dinner and beers.

    I love peace and quiet, but I married a man who’s motto is “the more the merrier” So it has made me have to balance myself and push myself out of my comfort zone. This is good, to become a more “complete” person, right?

    I’m kinda a mesh between the two. I can get wild with the best of them but i usually prefer a more layed back lifestyle.

    TURN IT DOWN … There’s nothing like reading a good book, laying in bed with my cat Penelope curled up next to me. In the evenings, I like to add a glass of wine; in the mornings a cup of tea or coffee.

    My husband and I met on eHarmony so I really resonated with the typewriter writing out LOVE on a piece of paper. Whether I win this or not, I’m hoping to incorporate that idea in our office.

    Best of luck and love to you both; I pass along this blog to anyone mentioning anything to do with decorating and keeping up their home.
