***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.

LAMP ME!
And I love white Christmas tree lights!
Jennifer Howell says
Lamp me! I love the lights that look like candles on a tree…my grandmother always put them on the tree so it reminds me of Christmas at her house.
erica says
LAMP ME!
I love my Christmas tree all lit up – so sparkly but so calm
Jen H says
LAMP ME!
I like white lights, my husband is a multi-color lights kind of guy. So we compromise, I get winter white lights outside, and the tree is colored lights.
Harben says
LAMP ME!
I love small white lights on the tree, and big vintage colorfull ones lining the house.
Jennifer Gessner says
LAMP ME! The soft glow of white lights on a fresh Christmas tree in our living room along with flickering holiday scented (soy!) candles in simple holiday candle holders is my idea of warm, wonderful, holiday lighting (new lamps can help that too!). :)
Lindsay says
LAMP ME! :) I love the crackle wood wick candles!
Kate G. says
LAMP ME!
I love a fire in the fireplace but since ours doesn’t work I’ll have to say a close second is our Christmas tree. Thanks for passing along the prize!
Sara says
Lamp Me! My favorite holiday light are the big ol’ colored old-school lights for outside the house.
Trina says
Lamp me! I love the white lights they put in the trees around the outdoor skating rink by my house!
Amelia Hardman says
LAMP ME! I love a Christmas tree that you can read by – as in, all the lights are off, and you can read by the light of the tree. :)
Katie @ Suburban Fervor says
LAMP ME!
My favorite lights are the lights in my Christmas tree that reflect off the garland and make the tree glow.
Sangeeta says
LAMP ME!
I love the festive glow, so be it, the house lights, candles, fireplace, or those enormous trees in the malls. It feels very nice, given the cold and gloomy weather outside.
Emma says
LAMP ME!
The flicker of candles against white snow.
Nicole says
LAMP ME!
I am in love with the glow of the Christmas tree and my mantle. There is nothing quite as heartwarming!
(and please please pick me! Our new house has a fan in every room and they all need to be replaced….)
Emily says
LAMP ME!! I love strings of multi-colored lights on my tree. It makes me as giddy for Christmas as I was as a kid!
Danielle says
LAMP ME !! I love the XMas tree lit up right next to a crackling fire in the fireplace…. Nothing is more soothing and relaxing than this ! I really wish out XMas tree could stay up all year round…. :)
Jen says
Lamp me! I love the light of a fireplace…but since I don’t have one, candles will do!
MichelleR says
LAMP ME!
I prefer the simple white lights. :)
Sydney says
LAMP ME!
We have three kids, and my favorite thing is having four menorahs going on the last night of Chanukkah (read: 36 candles). We put them in front of the windows and it looks so cheerful and lets the fire department know where to locate us!
Rachel says
LAMP ME!! My favorite holiday lights are the super cool “bubble lights” that you replace on a normal string of Christmas lights. Once they get a little warm the tube of liquid in the light bubbles up and looks super cool!
Monica says
Lamp me! I love small white christmas string lights, whether on a tree, garland or wreath, inside or outside, as well as electric candles in the windows for everyone to see outside.
Christine H says
LAMP ME! Fire in a fireplace…if only we had one.
Katie says
LAMP ME!
The new color LED christmas lights are my jam!

Krys says
LAMP ME!!! There is nothing as peaceful and beautiful as a candle flame…
Meghan says
LAMP ME!
I like the look of the white twinkle lights on the trees and bushes outside- you can be less perfect on your light coverage than ones that stay one all the time (which is a major Christmas pet peeve of mine).
Michelle Rosales says
LAMP ME!
I love the soft glow of Christmas tree lights in a barely lit room.
Nicole Betterley says
Lamp ME!My favorite christmas light is the glow of the christams tree when all the other lights are off

LAMP ME! We use all white lights. I love that the Christmas tree and mantel lights are all that I need to light up the family room this time of year!
Jill says
Lamp Me. There is nothing like the crackling fire on a chilly day.
Alanna says
Lamp me! I love coming home to white icicle lights on our house! It’s not too over the top but still festive.
Dayna says
LAMP ME! This year I am loving all the festive outdoor lights bc when we drive around my young daughter loves to watch them all out the window and always says “More lights, Mommy! More lights, Daddy!” Its so cute :)

LAMP ME!
I love colored lights on the Christmas tree and white lights outside.

Sarah says
LAMP ME!!
Only the white Christmas tree lights on the tree; all other lights in the room off.
Nicole says
Lamp me! I love to sit in the living room with all of the lights out except for those on the tree. There is something just so soothing about it!
Jenny says
LAMP ME!
My favorite lights are when people string lights all over trees to show the silhouette of the tree at night. I LOVE driving around finding the best lit yard this time of year!
Ana says
LAMP ME
I like the old-fashioned looking bulbs since they have softer light.
Jennifer McCloskey says
LAMP ME! I love when we go to a holiday light display and the trees are outlined in white lights (or even colored lights!). Just seeing the outlines of the trees decked out seems magical to me!
Jenny K says
Lamp me!
Christmas tree lights… no contest! :)
Rebecca says
Lamp Me! I would love to replace the 80 light in my entry!
Ursula says
LAMP ME! I love the old big and retro colorful Christmas lights…
Jessica Altman says
“LAMP ME!”
i LOVE white twinkley lights :-)
Stacy says
LAMP ME!
My favorite type of Christmas lights are the colorful strings of lights with the large bulbs, adorning a house to the fullest. I like to see only one style of lights on a house (not a mishmash of bulb types), and the big bulbs are so classic, simple, and festive.
