***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…

I love a Griswald style house, as long as it is not my own :) For me, a nice white light house with greenery!
Lauren says
LAMP ME!
We just set up our very first Christmas tree and opted for warm white LED lights with built in twinkle. Definitely less seizure inducing than full on flashing lights, and so very pretty in the dark.

LAMP ME!
I love multi colored lights on my tree twinkling in the light off of my icicles. Tho thats tied with my love of all the candles we light on Christmas Eve (not on the tree) and then listen to the Christmas story. :)

LAMP ME!
Jess L says
LAMP ME! I love colorful lights – monotone and white lights have always felt boring. To me, the holidays should be playful, festive and fun.
eg says
Lamp me, please!
Zoe says
Lamp me!
I love a candle driven chime I grew up with. It was so cheerful looking (and sounding)as it whirled on the fire place mantel.
Jennifer says
LAMP ME! I love the classic, chunky large outdoor color lights. My dad used to put them on our indoor tree. It made my mom so mad! :)

LAMP ME! I like the over the top decorated outdoor christmas lights!

LAMP ME!
I love ALL the lights! The more lights, the better. I would really like to be seen from space. Haha!
Emily w says
LAMP ME!!!! My favorite holiday light is definitely simple white lights all over the tree and mixed in with some garland around our living room. No overhead light, just white lights and some snuggling!
Heather says
Lamp me!
I love having white lights on our tree and turning off every other light downstairs, such a Christmassy feel for me.
Kristin says
LAMP ME! My favorite holiday lights are all the gorgeous & tacky lights in and around Richmond. Probably the tacky lights more than the beautiful traditional ones… :)
Lauren says
LAMP ME!!!!!
I love a single line of lights lining a home. Candles in the windows and the soft glow of a Christmas tree seen through the front door or window.

My favorite is the fireplace for sure!
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yes, we always email the winner but sometimes it goes to spam so checking back to see who won after it’s announced can help with that!
