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.

    I’m all about spending mellow quiet time with the hubby and our dogs. I like the chaos now and again, but I prefer quiet for maximum recharge benefit. :-)

    PUMP IT UP! I love to be busy with lots going on and music and activities with people that make me happy. But, for me, it’s best when it’s balanced with quiet moments like a hike in the woods or laying in bed with my husband all sunday morning or reading a bedtime story with my year-and-a-half-old son.

    “TURN IT DOWN” Quiet and Peaceful

    Some people that know me might disagree because I’m constantly on the go, and surround myself with friends, family and Chaos. Usually, we have BBQ’s with tons of people just so we can “get it out of the way” at one time and enjoy our other days with just my husband, son and I. My favorite thing to do is cuddle at home surround by my books with everyone in the home doing separate, quiet things that we enjoy by ourselves, then have a quiet dinner at home.

    TURN IT DOWN!

    I’m pretty big on the peace and quiet. I loooove my alone time, and can find an excuse to lounge and nap at pretty much any given moment. Unless I’m in the car (or at a concert) – then there is absolutely no excuse for quiet. That’s when the music is supposed to be so loud that you can sing extremely off-key and no one will be able to tell.

    Turn it Down…Fo’ Sho’. Which sounds backwards since I live in NYC, but after almost 10 years here, our little apt in the midst of it all needs to be a major haven from the Big Apple Madness.

    PS- I moved to New York City FROM Richmond, so I feel like we would be friends. :-)

    I can’t have silence. My brain is going too many different directions so I have to have background noise at all times. Which annoys my husband to death since he loves silence….
