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 – I love peace and quiet – probably because it is something sorely lacking at my house with three kids under 3 :)

    Energizing music and boisterous laughter are always good, but I like the rest of my life to be calm.

    I adore a lovely relaxing day. Just my family and a cup of tea. Snuggling in bed with tickles and giggles and feet nomming. Playing outside with golf balls in the grass. Wonderful.

    I usually like calmer, quieter environments where I can think and relax. I hear it only gets worse as you age, and I’m only 20!

    I’m a teacher and all I want when I go home is peace and quiet – which I rarely get with a 1 1/2 yr old. But I would give anything to have it totally quiet and reading a book.

    As a second grade teacher I have tons of loud, fun, crazy moments throughout the day and week…which make me all the more thankful for quiet relaxing evenings and weekends with my fiance and friends! :)

    Although, like Tara, I do enjoy both. But my love activity is the reason I want to have lots and lots of babies, so I’ll say I mostly prefer that.

    …although, I think a healthy mix of both is nice at times. I love being surrounded by friends & family and the laughter that ensues :)

    Also, I just have to say that I love the “wherever we are together, that is home” print. Hubbs is in the military, and as you can imagine, we move around a lot. It just seems perfect <3 I really hope random.org is on my side for this one ;)

    I’d have to agree with Tara. I like both, depending on my mood. Both have pros and cons IMO. Most of the time I prefer peace and quiet. My husband is totally PUMP IT UP :)

    It’s both! I prefer turn it down – mellow music, books. My boys prefer pump it up – loud music & who can scream the loudest!!

    It’s the perfect mix. :)
