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! Nothing better than a quiet bike ride, or better yet, staying home with the hubby.

    I love the PUMP IT UP, but I enjoy an occasional TURN IT DOWN. I have 6 boys, the majority are teens, so we have a loud rambunctious life!

    “Turn it Down” I am a very happily engaged to be married (July 2nd is the big day) 46 year old. Thrilled to have found the love of my life at this stage of my life. I love nothing more than to snuggle up with him at home. We are working hard on his 60+ year old bungalow, trying to give it a woman’s touch and make it a bit more “nest-y”.

    I’m loud in just about everything that I do… From fabric choices in my home, the accessories I wear, to the music that I listen to.

    Although, everyone needs to TURN IT DOWN once and a while (even me).

    Yep, you read that right! I like to have a generally peaceful world, but filled with the insanity of life. Crazy always seems to happen when the chill is getting good. And that’s good!

    I cherish the peace and quiet. While my days are spent with three precious children, I recharge in a hot bath, on my hammock in the backyard, or snuggled under the covers with a good book.

    Turn it down….then bring the pump it up to me!

    I have kids and a lot of my friends do not. I tend not to go out too much at night, my friends bring the party to me! Last night I was having a quiet night at home with my soon to be hubby and my boys when a friend arrived…and then another…and then another…and then another. By the time I knew it I had 6 friends over. It wasn’t planned. They just wanted to say hi.
