***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! My husband is Jewish and my family is Catholic. We finally bought a menorah. It’s made me feel closer to him to light it together this year.
Ashley says
Every year Santa adds a strand of LED lights to the fireplace. When the kids come downstairs, not only are there presents in/around the fireplace, but the whole room is glowing. Their excited faces make those special Santa lights my absolute favorite of the season!
Jennifer V. says
Lamp me…I LOVE the look of fresh, white Christmas lights, but lately I’ve been pretty intrigued by the colored lights as well! I might have to add some in for 2013, including some great round yellow bulbs! Anything in yellow decor makes me happy.

LAMP ME!
My favorite holiday lights are, of course, the lights on the Christmas tree when the house is quiet. There’s something extra special about that white glow!
Rachel says
LAMP ME! I love the bright glow of fire that peeks out of the old-fashioned wood stove at my parents’ house. I only get to enjoy it for a few days each year when I visit at Christmas time, and it takes me back to some of my best childhood memories of snowy winters.
Salena Santos says
LAMP ME!
I love white lights. For some reason they look classic and clean.
Debbie says
LAMP ME!!
Although we don’t have a fireplace in this house I love the glow from a nice, warm crackling fire on a cold winter night!
Jessica C. says
LAMP ME!
I’d love to have a crackling fireplace this time of year, but sadly, the fireplace in our 160-year-old house was at some point filled in and plastered over. :( One day when we win the lottery, we’ll bust that baby open and restore it!
Cara @ Chic Meets Healthy says
LAMP ME!! I love ALL lights at Christmas! The fireplace crackling, the white lights strung on the tree and especially the big vintage light bulbs on a holly tree outside.
I don’t know if Christmas would feel like Christmas without lights!
Amber says
Lamp me! Without a doubt, my favorite holiday lights are tree lights. Something about the tradition and the way they sparkle just makes me smile.

Lamp me!
I’m a candle girl!
