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.

The 1950’s bubble light (the candle- shaped light with the colored liquid that bubbles from the heat of the bulb) wins the prize – my mom loved them so much that she scoured specialty stores when I was little to find some for our tree, and I actually have the same 25-year old string of bubble lights for my tree.
Jan says

I love the simplicity of all what Christmas lights. I especially love them on my glowing tree. I catch myself sitting in that room with all the others lights off just to look at it.

The tree is by far my favorite – we have lots of twinkly lights, both colored and white and I love to turn off all the lights in the living room and sip egg nogg in its glow.

I grew up in a town that was all about the white lights and candles in every window… as a kid I craved more color and craziness (and I still think that’s super fun!) but now I loove the all white lights thing for pure nolstalgia.

LAMP ME!
I like simple white lights outlining a house or fence/gate. Classic in the best way!
