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.

Molly says
LAMP ME!
I am adamant about colored lights on the Christmas tree. I love white for other things, but on the tree, they have to be colored.
Jamie says
Lamp me!
I love the white lights on our Christmas tree!
Andrea says
LAMP ME!
I love the over the top Christmas lights on every surface of the house. We are New England transplants to Southern California and need as much reminder as possible that it’s Christmas time!

LAMP ME!
I love the light of the electric candles we put in our windows. Coming home to them in the evening makes the house look warm, cozy, and very welcoming!

We are (mostly) a white icicle light sort of family, but my favorite Christmas decoration is a ceramic tree my Grandma made with garish and bright bulbs.

LAMP ME! This year, I’m a little more partial to the larger vintage colored lights swagged up on all of the porches in my neighborhood.

My favorite christmas light is definitely CANDLES. I love them all year long but especially during this magical time of year.

LAMP ME!
For me, nothing can top the white sparkle of the lights on our Christmas tree. Especially love how they light up our collection of ornaments–many hand made by the kids and nearly all with a great story behind it.

LAMP ME! I was all ready to tell about my favorite lights being the multicolored ones for the tree, but then you mentioned the fireplace…ahh! I do LOVE a nice, cozy fire going while there is snow outside and home-y smells in the house, cuddling with my sweeties. Now I’m gonna have to go light the fireplace up! :)
This would be AMAZING to win, I have been on my husband to replace the horrible hotel-ish lamps in our mancave for twp years now. I think I could get him to do it if they were FREE!
Allyn says
LAMP ME!
I love it all. One day I will be a Griswold.

Lamp ME! I do love the lights on the wreath on my mantle… just so soothing and Christmassy (of course I love the tacky old-fashioned christmas lights I string up on my back porch too – it looks like a restaurant!

LAMP ME! I love the white lights on the tree when all of the other lights in the house are off.

LAMP ME!
I love the glow of my tree in the living room. Cuddling up with the pups on the sofa and reading a book or my favorite show, there is nothing better during the holidays! Besides presents ;)
