Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: Pump Up The Volume

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.

    TURN IT DOWN…

    While I like chaos once in a while, I do prefer quiet nights at home, hanging out with just family.

    Love the robot print, btw. We are expecting a baby boy in 5 weeks and his nursery has a vintage robot theme… Perfect!

    I like the best of both worlds. I love to be surrounded by friends, but nothing is more fun than a quiet Sunday at home alone :)

    I usually spend my days off lazing around reading, or watching TV. I’m not one to go “out” unless it’s to dinner with a few close friends. No party’s please.

    I definitely like to have moments of quiet and solitude, but turn up a great 90’s song and I instantly get a burst of energy! I love music!

    I also have to add that I’m totally smitten with the first picture of the robots; manatees have a special place in my heart, as do bunnies (my husband and I are the lucky owners of 2 very sweet rescued rabbits). If I don’t win, I’ll be sure to tune back in for the discount code Thursday!

    I can’t decide. I’m am ALWAYS really busy and often dream of time off. But when I have time off I just fill it with projects! So I’ll take it either way!

    I teach 4th grade in the ghetto- so that part of my life is “pumped” up with lots of volume! That’s why at home, I like to “turn it down.”

    This is a hard one, since I really like both!

    PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN

    I work with 40+ kids every day and it’s full of activity, laughter and craziness and I love it. But, I also love a relaxing day in the yard, playing with our old dog and new puppy (had him since Wednesday!), doing work around the house… Plus, a lot of busy days can be relaxing. :)
