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! i am surrounded my my noisy children all day- i love them so much and wouldn’t trade it for anything, but if i get a moment to myself, i prefer it to be quiet. just the sound of their breathing at night puts me at peace!

    “TURN IT DOWN!
    I used to be really into going out on the town, but as I get older I LOVE staying at home. My idea of agood evening now is sitting on our patio, listening to soothing music on my iPod and either my husband, sisters, or my best friend. I have a quaint little house that is ideal for entertaining, and I never have to worry about driving home!

    pump it up! and turn it down! Can I do that? Can I answer both? I feel like it changes regularly – all in moderation, I suppose.

    At any rate, I am just in love with Jessica’s artwork. Such a huge fan!

    Well, I used to be a PUMP IT UP girl, but since becoming a Mom, I’m a TURN IT DOWN PLEASE! girl. There’s so much crazy activity going on all the time with a toddler that I’ve really started to cherish peace and quiet.

    PUMP IT UP!!! We love music in our home. We love bright lively colors to embrace creativity and growth. Our children are bright and loud, and we love it. We pump up the music and all dance together and enjoy those days. When it’s turned down….the day isn’t quite the same. :)

    Turn It Down! I really love peace and quiet these days. There’s usually so much noise, since my daughter was born 5 years ago, that it’s a nice change when there isn’t a lot of audio.

    PUMP IT UP! lol much to my husbands delight (a very quiet, shy and reserved guy) I’m a very outgoing rambunctious personality. And our daughters are turning out the same way. Always high energy and on the move! (But with a 3 year old and a 1 year old, what else can you expect?)

    TURN IT DOWN… but just a lil bit! I love listening to music at home – its a great way to set the mood, whether it be lively “time to party” or relaxing “aaah, lets put our feet up” vibes – but either way, generally think people listen to their music way too loud! I like having conversations over my music without yelling, ya know? Does that mean I’m getting old?

    I feel much more like myself when I can breathe. Do I keep myself busy? Yes. Do I go on lots of little adventures? Yes. But I feel most energized when I’ve had enough time by myself before facing the rest of humanity.
