We are proud to announce our 5th annual Winter Giveaway!
It’s hard to believe this will mark the fifth year of Bottle Lamp’s prize giveaway. I guess the old saying ‘time flies when you’re having fun’ holds true. In the past we have given away gifts that were reflective of the tools and products that we have used ourselves and shared on this site. This year we’re going to do something a little different… We are currently care taking in Hawai’i and didn’t have time to collect prizes for our winners.

Sadly we will not be able to spend this Holiday season with our family and friends, it’s going to be just the two of us. It is certainly going to be a little strange without a huge turkey feast on Thanksgiving Day and our large family to share it with. Nick is also going to miss his Mom’s special sweet potato casserole.

Awesome giveaway guys! Turkey day is my favorite holiday, no gift giving pressure, just family and sports on tv.
Getting together with family is the best of times.
Getting together with family is the highlight of my year. With 6 grown children, 24 grandchildren and 11 greats, it’s very difficult to find time for all of us to be together, so Thanksgiving is it!!! I love, love, love it. These little ones grow so fast. It is so true that they are crawling one day & going to college the next. I don’t want to miss a minute of it.
I don’t know that we have a real Thanksgiving tradition. We get together with my husband’s family which is very nice. I always make brown bread, something my mom always made, so I have a bit of my family with me as well.
*sings like oliver* Food Glorious foood!
I like to make Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family. We always get together at my house and overindulge, laugh and have fun with the kids.
Being English and in England means I won’t be celebrating Thanksgiving, but have a fantastic day
I have always loved watching the Macys Thanksgiving day parade, eating together with family, and then doing some online shopping that evening!
we switch every other year eating the thanksgiving meal at my parents and my wife’s parents. It is a blessing to be able to share the holiday with everyone equally.
Thanks for the giveaway! I spend Thanksgiving Day at my parents and will as long as the good Lord lets me.
The Macy’s Thanks giving Day Parade is a tradition I think for a lot of families. Black Friday (online) and Cyber Monday have made things easier afterward for getting a good deal on things for friends and family. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is making homemade pumpkin pies with my daughter because I can pass the family tradition on to her.
This year we will be traveling to MI to enjoy Thanksgiving with Jeanette’s youngest Daughter’s family. Will miss my family here in SC but have to take turns since our family’s are so far apart.
Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade is a tradition in our house along with football! Thanks for the opportunity to win a gift card!
I know exactly what I would do with $25. Someone would be very happy at Christmas.
I just like being able to take it easy that day & enjoy the company of family!
Enjoy beautiful Hawaii! $25 would sure come in handy for more supplies and Christmas.

Being with friends and/or family is great.
Enjoying the holiday with family is my tradition.
We watch the Macys Thanksgiving day parade, watch football and go through the ads.
Getting together with family is the best.
Terrific giveaway! I love Thanksgiving but this will be the first one since my husband passed away in July so it will be a little sad for me. Have a great weekend!
For me, it is the time before the meal. The time when we all chat and share stuff about our lives. The house is filled with the smells and the voices are cheery.
Frying the turkey outside
We do a turkey in an infrared fryer. So delicious! I love it
Our friend’s wife of 54 years passed away in May so we’ll be spending Thanksgiving with him. So much has happened this year and we all have so much to be greatful for. Let us all try to remember to share whenever and wherever we can. Thanks to you and Silke for all you do to help us DIYers.
The adults put the kids to bed and we sit around drinking, catching up, eating left overs and playing games. All while a fire is crackling in the back. It’s nice to catch up with the cousins and have some relaxing time.
My favorite tradition is the drive from Central Pennsylvania to Ohio to see my wife’s family and on the way reminiscing on how thankful I am that I had so much time with my family members that have passed. Once we arrive and we have dinner I love sitting there and feeling The love that comes back to me knowing that others are thankful to have me spend dinner with them and how thankful I am to have dinner with them .
We get together with the family, and eat too much, drink too much, and watch football.
Awesome! Looking forward to winning!
Thank You For The Opportunity to Win This Giftcard!! :) Hope you guys have a very dandy Thanksgiving!!
And also my favorite tradition would be eating my grandma’s sweet potatoes, they are the best, especially nice and warm with marshmallows. :P It’s just nice to see the family together.

I love the “kid’s table” tradition. But whenever we get together with aunts and uncles, I end up there as well… LOL
Waiting for my first bottle cutter, a Luca I ordered. Do you have experience with this cutter?
Football watching is a tradition in my family. Which is too bad because I don’t like football. :(
oh well, while everyone is watching the game I can sneak an extra slice of pie or two. :)
We play a semi-friendly family game of football that we squeeze in between watching football
We usually have a potluck dinner with family and close friends and enjoy good food.

Not sure what we are doing for Thanksgiving this year. We normally get together with family and have a huge feast! Mom makes us say what we are grateful for around the table and everyone groans. :D
Even as 40-something adults, my younger brother and I still break the wishbone all these years later.
We will be traveling to Michigan to see our son and daughter-in-law can hardly wait. We will be making some of your bottle ideas instead of shopping on friday….it’s more fun!!

My mom always makes her green bean casserole- it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without it!

Every year someone new is in charge of making a fun family game for us to play during the holidays.

My family lives in different states/countries, sadly my boyfriend and I can’t afford to travel this year. We use Skype so we can ‘see’ everybody and stay connected.
We light a candle at our dinner table for those who have passed and cannot join us for Thanksgiving. My dad says grace and we all give thanks!!! We are a big family and we are thankful for our parents and each other!!

We like to play trivia and board games after dinner
I love taking home leftovers from the huge family feast and not having to cook the next day.
My mother always makes fun martinis after dinner.
I always cook up a huge traditional meal and afterwards we relax and watch Dallas Cowboys football and play cards!
Pumpkin pie, preferably with Cool Whip (although whipped cream or ice cream will do).
We always have too much food and too much fun at Thanksgiving dinner.
My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is going over to my grandma’s house for a delicious turkey dinner. Everyone shares what they are thankful with, we enjoy our dinner, and watch a movie.

The best part of our Thanksgiving Day is when my kids and grandkids appear at my door – then we spend the rest of the day enjoying the food, games and mostly catching up with each others’ lives – what a blessing for family!!!
My favorite tradition is dinner with the family followed by lots of football watching.
My personal favorite Thanksgiving tradition is to order a premade meal from a local restaurant so I do not have to be stressed about cooking for my family. I can handle doing extras to supplement the meal depending on how many people come but I hate having to think about the main components of the meal and stressing.
We’ll be having friendsgiving after our family Thanksgiving dinner.
My extended family all draw names on Thanksgiving to see who we will be buying for for Christmas. I’m excited for that.

I love watching Dutch with my family on Thanksgiving every year
I always eat Thanksgiving dinner with my extended friends/family but a lot of the time Hubby has to work that day or night. A local home is always very intricately decorated with lights for Christmas, so either after dinner at my family’s on Thanksgiving, or our first chance that weekend if he worked the holiday we drive by the house to see the lights. It helps transition us from Thanksgiving to Christmas and get me in the holiday mood.
love getting together with out of state family and cooking and saying Grace together as a family is always a great added touch to give thanks because we are all soooo blessed

I’m sorry about you not being able to spend the holiday with your family! I’m in the same boat. This will be my 2nd year without mine for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I moved from Ohio to Oregon last September to help out my husbands parents. It’s been very rough for me, as I am very close to my family, and they all live in Ohio. I hope you make it a great one, I’m going to try my hardest!
One of my favorite traditions is sharing what we all are thankful for at dinner.

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is spending the day at our daughter’s house with our children and grandkids and enjoying a family dinner.

It will definitely be odd.
