***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.

Ashley Draper says
LAMP ME!!!
Gosh, I just love the glow of all the lights, because December is the one time during the year that everything is lit up perfectly. It makes me a little sad after New Years when all the decorations come down. I’m like Chevy Chase…the more lights the better!

‘LAMP ME’!!
K, my favorite is to go through the neighborhood looking at lights. But I think my favorite are the little lights I put on our house, on the banister up to our apartment! I love them, they are small but make such a great impact as they are icicles and regular colored lights wrapped around!
Meg says
LAMP ME! My Husband is from Germany, and he’s brought a German tradition to our home–real candles on the Christmas tree! I love lowering the lights in the rest of the house, and lighting all the little candles on the tree.

I have to say it’s a tie between a fire in the fireplace and evergreen scented candles, preferrable from bath and body works!

LAMP ME!!
I love turning off the “normal” lights and sitting in the living room with just the glow of the tree lights and the crackling fire in the fireplace …
Dawn says
LAMP ME!
My favorite holiday lights are bubble lights! They bring me back to my childhood, when we’d just stare at all the presents under my grandmother’s decked-out tinsel Christmas tree. It was always so mesmerizing watching the bubbles furiously race to the top in the colored liquid.

LAMP ME! I love the glow of the Christmas tree. I always use multi-colored lights for our tree since we use childhood ornaments and our two girls get a new ornament every year (like I did as a child) so I love for our tree to look bright and cheery :)
Sandra says
LAMP ME: I could really use a table lamp for my foyer.
