The regular clips won't work through the mesh of the gutter guard. I tried adhesive clips but they didn't stay up in the rain we had yesterday. Any great ideas? (besides staples)

ah ha! shingle clips!!! :) they slide under the bottom edge of the shingle. then, you hook the light string into the other side of the clip. they work great! I don't even have gutters on most of my house and we've got them all over the place! and the best part, is no holes!!! no leaky roof!! lol
Good luck!!

Your heart is in the right place, but it is safer, cleaner, drier, better appreciated and warmer to frame the inside of your windows instead.
By framing your windows, you bring an outline of color and light to your openings (windows.doors) and add colorful light inside the home, as well. You can use less indoor lights since you have added the Christmas lights to the inside. Sure you pay for electricity to turn them on, but you will use less lamp or ceiling lights with these on inside.
Finally, when you place your lights inside, you show them to the neighbors AND more importantly, your family. Lights on your gutter only serve the pleasure of neighbors rushing by in a car or walking home from school. Can you afford to entertain them for free?
My suggestion is to hang them indoors and enjoy them all night, until bedtime. Then unplug them when you turn in for the night when nobody will see them. If you have extra lights, just store them...you don't need to overkill the holiday.

How about garbage bag ties?? They've got a wire in them & you should be able to feed them through the mesh pretty easily.

try putting up lighs on ur fence or a tree outside or bushes, not the house maybe.
but if you really want it on the roof cant you stick twist ties through the mesh and tie on the lights like that.
