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.

Our Christmas tree has pearl button string lights that we add each year. They add such a soft, warm glow. I would love to add the warmth and coziness of a real fire, if we had a fireplace!

Caty says
LAMP ME!
Even though I love colored Christmas lights for decorating, when my husband and I got married in 2010 and ended up with a whole mess of strings of white lights, that’s what we used. So now every year, I enjoy seeing the pretty white lights on the tree and in the windows and it reminds me of our wedding day. :)

Kelly says
Lamp Me!!
We keep things pretty simple with lights. We have a wood post, that my husband made several years ago, that we wrap lighted garland around and we hang a large wreath on the outside of our fireplace and spotlight it. Very simple but oh so elegent. We get so many compliments on it and we both love the simplicity of it.
Lindsay says
LAMP ME! I’m a sucker for those little candle lights in windows. So sentimental.
Brandi from Bloomington says
LAMP ME!
There is this little, white, porcelain tree that my grandmother made back in the 50s that I adore. It has little red beads that go into little holes and the kids fight over the beads if they don’t get an even number. It doesn’t let off a bunch of light but I love it because it reminds me of my grandmother.
