***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
This week’s early Christmas present is going to… Nancy (who says she “could certainly use some new lighting” and her favorite holiday glow “has to be my fireplace.”) Congrats Nancy!
As much as we love holiday lights, indoor lighting is something that you stare at every day of the year. So if you don’t love your lighting situation, this is one way to “dude, get on that” without spending any cash. See, recently we were voted one of Lamps Plus’ top home blogs of 2012 (how flattering!) and it came with a $500 shopping spree prize… but you know we don’t take freebies or swag, so the folks at Lamps Plus kindly agreed that we could pass that $500 credit to one of you! We’ve been fans of theirs for a while now since they seem to have about a million options (their chandeliers even popped up in our book a few times) so this week’s winner should have no trouble finding something to spend their light-loot on if they win.
- PRIZE: $500 to spend at Lamps Plus.com
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “LAMP ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …your favorite type of holiday light. Do you love the white glimmer of a Christmas tree in your living room? The over-the-top glow of a house decked out in colorful bulbs on every surface? Or the warm crackle of a fire in your fireplace?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 19th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not able to vend things beyond the US – more on that here. This giveaway is open to the United States.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

LAMP ME!
I love the warm white Christmas lights but my 5 year old daughter is strongly recruiting that we go to colored lights next year. We will see! When I was a kid we had big colored bulbs and I was a little excited to see a 2012 version of the 1980s classic at Target this year.

LAMP ME!
I love the glow of the colored Christmas Lights in the corner of the room when no other lights are on. It feels warm and cheerful, and nothing reminds me of Christmas more.
Amanda says
LAMP ME! I love subtly twinkling white lights on a Christmas tree! But since I’m a little OCD and I can’t find the types of lights that I’d like to have, I settle for plain white lights, instead of twinklers.
Jennifer says
LAMP ME!

LAMP ME! I love the little twinkle lights of Christmas but I do believe there is a specific order to things. Multi-colered lights inside on the tree and white lights outside on the house.

Dudes… LAMP ME! My favorite kind of holiday lighting would have to be those old multi-color lights from Christmas Vacation. Just… not so many of them!

Sandra Padilla says
I love the simple and classic look of white lights. I only use white whether indoors or out. Merry Christmas!!
Katie says
LAMP ME!!! I really like to have subtle lamp lighting in a room rather than the strong overhead lights. It just creates a more homey feel instead of feeling like you are in an office.
Valerie says
Lamp Me!
I love the way the little candles look in a true, old-fashioned luminaria. We used to do it as a neighborhood growing up, and there’s nothing like seeing the bags all lined up for entire blocks!
kelly g says
LAMP ME!
I love to sit by the tree all lit up in the morning with a cup of coffee.

YHL, you light up my life.
I like white fairy lights on the tree and those lights being the only ones on in the room- it’s magical
Catherine says
LAMP ME!!! At Christmas time we leave our tree lights on all the time so there is a soft glow in our living room. I love that the tree lights can be seen from outside too.
