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!

    There are two comments from teachers above me that I can see and I agree. After work with kids (teenagers, in my case) all day, I want some peace and quiet! Some nice conversation over a cup of coffee, perhaps.

    This art is to die for, by the way.

    Turn it down! I definitely love a boisterous environment now and then, but even more I love being in nature and enjoying the sounds of rushing water, birds, wind in trees and fires crackling.

    Pump it up & down ?!?!
    I like a mixture. Music, but in a home feel environment :)
    Plus, when I read your giveaway I was in the middle of listening to ‘Tootsie Roll’ on Grooveshark.
    It has definitely helped me enjoy my Monday at work :)

    PUMP IT UP!

    For the last 3 yrs, I’ve worked in a very small real estate office. Prior to that, I spent 10 yrs waiting tables…I love that now my days are in the “turn it down” mode but my nights are free for me to “pump it up”!

    Five yrs ago, I would have said the exact opposite.

    Love lots of laughter and activity – my life would seem strange without it. I was raised in a family of 8 and have a toddler running through the house all day long. Without noise, you never know what kind of trouble he is into! :)

    PUMP IT UP, while I don’t really like dancing at loud dance clubs, or the neighbor in the apartment downstairs who listens to his country/classic rock tunes WAY to loud. I love rocking out to some music in the car or in my own apartment.

    I LOVE to listen to my favorite music as loud as I can on my way into work in the morning. I love to feel the beat. I’m very conservative so many people think it’s hilarious and doesn’t fit my personality!

    I like both. I love spending time sitting in the sun, reading a good book with no noise. But I love being around all my friends at the same time, listening to music, playing loud interactive board games or hanging out at a bar. Just depends on the time of day. ;)

    TURN IT DOWN (just a little…)I Love having people in my home, but there’s just something about opening the windows and curling up with a good book. Birds chirping, a little Coltrane playing quietly… that’s relaxation.

    I enjoy a crowded, noisy restaurant on a Saturday night. It creates chaos and excitement at the same time. I also love driving around with all the windows down and the music really loud. It puts me in a great mood!

    PUMP IT UP & TURN IT DOWN…..depends on what is going on around me….for exercise, I like to really get into the music. However, with 4 kids, there is a definite time and place in my life for some peace and quiet!!

    Can I say both?? I love a mix of wild-n-crazy and quiet-n-chill. So my answer is PUMP IT UP AND TURN IT DOWN. I blasting music while cleaning the house and having my boys dance along with me. Then I enjoy going back home to visit my parents in a very rural area and listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

    Turn It Down… just a little though! I do love life to be a little loud and lively sometimes, but I find that since we bought out home, I’ve become more of a homebody & enjoy sitting back & relaxing. Brunches or tea with friends is much more appealing to me than a nightclub….
