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.

    PUMP IT UP!

    I like a little quiet now and then too, but if I have a choice, I’d love to be laughing and living with friends and family.

    pump it up! I can’t get anything done when it’s quiet. I need to work in a noisy crazy office, and at home I need music, TV, or boisterous friends around to be productive.

    PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN! I love to be at home and crank up the IPOD tunes on some Texas Country. That’s usually how most of our home improvement tasks go. Music going in the shed, house, & outside while we saw, cut, and create.

    TURN IT DOWN

    I prefer keep things quiet and peaceful generally. A cup of coffee, my computer (for blogs and some readings), and a piece of dark chocolate is enough for the making my day.

    Pump It UP! Being a single lady in 2010 has found me appreciating having fun and activity around all the time. Who needs alone time? not me! I get enough alone time when I’m asleep. I prefer to have managed chaos around me when ever possible.

    TURN IT DOWN…please(!) I wish I could say pump it up, but really there is nothing I love better than nesting with my guy and our furry guy and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I mean, it can get crazy once we get the dog’s stuffed sheep out but in terms of company, music, atmosphere, slow and quiet and cosy gets me every time.

    My husband and I both love to be around our friends and and family, but our style is much more about hosting an outdoor bbq or Sunday brunch at our house than getting dolled up and heading out on a Saturday evening.

    PUMP IT UP in the kitchen with my fiancee…. I live in a tiny home we lovingly refer to as “the cottage”, so cooking leads to us having to dance, reach, grab all around each other when doing joint cooking. We open the windows, prop the back door, turn up the tunes and cook and flirt the night away!
