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!
    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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. ;)

    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.

    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.

    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:)
