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…

Anne Weber-Falk says
LAMP ME! I really love those big old and warm looking C4 Christmas lights. While I appreciate the good that comes from using our new LED lights, I really miss that old fashioned look. They are just not the same. Sighhh…
Kristen says
LAMP ME!
My favorite holiday lights are the old fashioned, large, multi-colored lights strung outside. I have my grandparents set from the 60s and while they are definitely not energy efficient, they remind me of my grandparents every time I use them :)
Kate says
LAMP ME!
I love sitting by the fireplace at my in-laws. I also love driving around to see how people have decorated their homes. There are a few houses in our town where the people go all out so it’s fun to check those out.

LAMP ME!! I love the little colored lights on the tree…
browncoat says
LAMP ME!
I like the simplicity of sitting in a dark living room with just a twinkling cristmas tree and a roaring fire in the fireplace for light – magical.
Patricia says
Lamp me! I think the all white lights are very pretty, especially on the outside of a house. They make the house look like it’s trimmed in gold.
Nikki says
LAMP ME!
My favorite is the soft glow of the white lights on the Christmas tree while I’m snuggled on the couch. A close second is looking up from outside and seeing invitingly lit Christmas trees inside houses!
Cathy says
LAMP ME! I love the white string lights framing our windows… we don’t need to turn on our table lamps this time of year!
Megan says
LAMP ME! We mixed it up at our house and have clear lights on the roof line and colored lights on the small bushes near the front door. It looks pretty great!
Jana says
LAMP ME!
I love plain Christmas tree lights, but I have such fond memories of the multicolored, blinking lights on my grandmother’s tree.
Jamie says
Lamp me! I love white Christmas lights everywhere!
Liana says
Lamp Me!
Hmmm. Do I have to pick? Can’t I just love it all? :-)
Erin E. says
Lamp me!!
I love to sit in the living room by the light of our Christmas tree. White lights all the way!
Candice says
LAMP ME! I love the traditional white lights on a real tree – so homey and peaceful. My husband and I had a laugh in the lights section this year, trying to find “warm white” instead of “cool light” or “pure white”
Liz loves Cam says
LAMP ME!
I love swagged white icicle lights. It looks so pretty!
Susannah H. says
LAMP ME! I love seeing the Christmas tree all lit up with white lights, but a fire in the (gas) fireplace might be my very favorite indoor lighting.
Megan H. says
LAMP ME!
I love little white lights while my husband loves the big bright colorful ones. We compromise by using colorful lights on the outside of the house and white ones inside.
Christina says
LAMP ME!
I love the houses that end up on the tacky lights tour…if you’re going to put up lights outside, why not go all out?
Erika says
LAMP ME!
I love Moravian stars. I have two permanently fixed on my front porch :)
Julie Johnson says
I love the outside, white sporadic blinking lights in trees.
Lesli Richardson says
LAMP ME!
I love not only the look of our tree (with a mix of colored and white lights) but we have light-up chili peppers that I enjoy all year round. I prefer soft and indirect lighting over harsh overhead glare. Thanks for the giveaway!
Jenni says
LAMP ME!
Christmas tree, every time!
Lindsey says
LAMP ME!
I love Christmas Lights. Any way, any shape, any form. Thankfully I have a competitive husband, so he lets me go crazy on the house every year to “beat” the neighbors!
