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 prefer a quiet evening with a few friends. Although I do like a big bash once in awhile, I always find myself not having enough time to catch up with everyone anyway so why not give each friend their “own time”?

    Turn it down, please!

    I used to think I was a loud noises, boisterous conversations, kind of person. And I think that sometimes I still am. But more and more, I’m appreciating the wonderful peace of a quiet evening at home with my husband.

    I love lots of activity but when it’s outside in peaceful nature! Boisterous laughter is great, but I prefer the sound of giggling w/ my guy when we’re at home or in our tent in the middle of nowhere instead. :)

    Also… I LOVE Vol. 25! I’ve had so many prints saved under my favorites on Etsy that I keep meaning to buy! Glad this one is coming back again.

    I love to experience quiet! It gives me room to think, think about writing projects, design projects, and even how I want to decorate. Now, when I’m in cleaning mode, I look for music motivation!

    I am a city girl. 100%!

    My parents love the country and when I was only 15 they moved to the country and paid for my apartment in the city. I was only 15 and had the whole apartment to myself.

    PUMP IT UP!! Although sometimes I like to relax and turn it down, it’s usually “pump it up” because our 2-year old wants to run and play constantly (and I love every second of that!!)

    My husband and I enjoy a quiet lifestyle together. We both share a love of reading…Our idea of a good time is hitting up a bookstore with some Starbucks, or entertaining a few friends in our home.
