***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?
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?
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!

Amy G says
PUMP IT UP!
While I love my quiet time, I am absolutely inspired by people, music, noise, movement, etc.
Even quiet nights at home are made better by having great music (or a podcast) playing while we cook or relax on the couch!
Kelley says
TURN IT DOWN
I love to have music in the background, but soft, soothing music to set a calm atmosphere where I can catch up with an old friend or read a good book.
Katie says
TURN IT DOWN
I definitely like my quiet time with a good book or journal. But I won’t say no to a big ‘ol party every now and then!
Megan Martiny says
TURN IT DOWN, i love the sounds of nature.
Maria D. says
PUMP IT UP! I live alone and work from home, so I get plenty of quiet in my day to day life, so when the clock hits 5 o’clock whether it’s a Monday or a Friday I’m ready to get out of the house, hit up a happy hour, and meet up with friends for a lively evening!
Amanda Peters says
Turn it Down!
I like things quiet and peaceful…most of the time!

PUMP IT UP!!! I definitely can appreciate both busy and quiet atmospheres!
Meredith P. says
TURN IT DOWN. I love to relax with the quiet and listen to all the little sounds of nature.
Cara says
TURN IT DOWN! I love being around friends and in the company of others, but mostly I’m an introvert who prefers quiet alone time on the couch with her husband. Maybe because I’m pregnant and tired these days. ;)
Patricia says
PUMP IT UP! :-)
Missy says
Pump it up! I love the bike one!! :)
Monica says
TURN IT DOWN! I am much better with just a few friends than large amounts of people I don’t know. Although I do like large amounts of people I do know! And boisterous laughter is usually always good.
Ryan says
PUMP IT UP!
I love a colorful room.
Carrie Hogan says
Turn it down! I am a social butterfly! Love my music loud! Although, there are many times when I just want peace and quiet.
Jessica says
PUMP IT UP!!
Danica says
PUMP IT UP then TURN IT DOWN! Go big and then go home for me. I love both and wouldn’t be happy without the balance of both extremes in my life. Beautiful art!
Amanda says
PUMP IT UP!
I love the lively lifestyle, although I love a good book and nature as much as the next girl. I just prefer to read the book on a plane to Brazil, or be whooshing in nature on my bike.

PUMP IT UP!
I love having something to do most the time, but I have to say, there are times it’s necessary to TURN IT DOWN!
David W. says
TURN IT DOWN!
I like my home to be a quiet, serene place with the odd Ramones I Wanna Be Sedated moment tossed in.
Keep up the great work Youngsters!

Emily Ann says
PUMP IT UP and then TURN IT DOWN!
First of all, I LOVE Vol. 25! Such cute stuff.
Ok, so really it all depends upon my mood. My moods are like the weather – rapidly changing and unpredictable. I usually like things to be really fun, loud, and a bit obnoxious but sometimes it’s really nice to relax and be peaceful.

Turn it down! I prefer a calm & tranquil abode. :)

Allison S. says
PUMP IT UP! Especially after a looonnnggg day of work!
Hallie M. says
PUMP IT UP! Music is a necessity…it always puts me in a happy place and you can decide which mood you want to be in by which genre of music you play!
Amanda says
I may be taking myself out of the running here by breaking the rules (hope not!), but I have to have a happy middle between PUMP IT UP & TURN IT DOWN.
I hate silence, but like a lil’ bit of commotion in the happiness of my own home w/ the hub & the pup:)
Susie says
“TURN IT DOWN”
I prefer the sounds of nature and soft classical music while laying on a soft picnic blanket and watching the clouds drift by.
Lara says
PUMP IT UP and then TURN IT DOWN. lol..
Janelle says
Turn it down!!
I find that with a quiet, peaceful environment I can really focus on things…especially drawing! It is really hard to “center” when I’m being bombarded by noise. :)
Torey says

Turn it down! I love quiet reading time.

TURN IT DOWN!
I love my quiet time, although I do love to have a lively atmosphere as well. But, when I’m at home trying to relax, I like peace and quiet :)
