***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Just as Holly guessed during last week’s winner post, our latest giveaway is indeed from our friends at Z Gallerie. They’re back after their much loved freebie last May to put a little sparkle in your holiday season. While the big Zee-G has tons of glittery items for your house, your tree and even your dining table, we somehow managed to comb through all the eye candy and pick out a collection of our absolute favorite holiday items. So here’s what this week’s winner will be snagging:
The Z Gallerie holiday prize pack includes: two ribbed Antique Mercury Votive Cups, a silver Antique Mercury Hurricane and a set of four Puccini Hiball glasses. We love them because not only do they provide a touch of holiday glam to a dining or console table, you can even get away with breaking them out during the other 11 months of the year. And if they look familiar it’s because Z Gallerie kindly sent a set our way (and we whipped them out for this Thanksgiving decor post a few weeks back).
So how do you get your hands on this sparkly set of holiday cheer? Here’s the 4-1-1:
- PRIZE: Two ribbed Antique Mercury Votive Cups, a silver Antique Mercury Hurricane and a set of four Puccini Hiball glasses from Z Gallerie
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “Z ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us if you plan to entertain people at your home this holiday season OR if you prefer to be entertained at someone else’s house. And either way, do you have any tips for being a great host and/or courteous guest?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 2nd at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: United States only
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Z ME!!!!! Every year for the last 7 or 8 years I have a Christmas party where all the friends in my graduating class get together and catch up! I always decorate and have yummy food! This year I have 3 hurricane glasses that I filled with silver & white Christmas ornaments and snowflakes! They coordinate very well with the silver chargers on the table. I also do different sized clear goblets. Some are filled with snack foods such as nuts, candy, mints, etc. The others are filled with ornaments or clear ice cube like objects left over from Ryan and I’s wedding! I love the Holidays!
christine says
Z ME!! Please! This christmas I am hosting our annual ugly christmas party at our house, this is the last time i will be hosting here since we just bought a new home, and next yr it will be there! My trick for some good fun is singing karoke and some good cocktails constantly flowing!

I love playing hostess, but I have yet to acquire enough dinner wear, etc. to host very many people! :)
mary says
Z Me! :)
I won’t be entertaining this Christmas, but if I were, I’d make sure to have fresh flowers, festive and tasty treats…and good music. And of course decorations!
Anne says
Z ME!!!
We are going to be the guests this holiday. Although, I am thinking about hosting a little get-together with some high school friends sometime around Christmas.
I think as long as you provide good food and drinks along with a bit of holiday atmosphere, the party will be a hit. Unless of course the people you invite are party poopers! Hehe.

My husband and I will be visiting family and hosting a small gathering at our house. I’m a little nervous just because it’s a holiday but its just family so it shouldn’t be too bad.
Mary says
Z ME!! This giveaway is great! I’ve been following your blog recently and love all your great decor ideas- thanks! We are currently searching for our first home- so this year we aren’t doing any entertaining (small rental space), but I plan to be cough*Martha Stewart*cough next year!!
Sara D says
Z ME!!!!!! I will be helping my mom entertain this Christmas at her home. We love setting out fresh holly, evergreen, and bayberry for the smell and natural feel it gives. Looks great on a mantle, around candles or as a center piece! Definitely always cooking tons of food – it’s all about eating at my house!
Audrey says
Z Me!
I am typically thrilled to host and entertain during the holidays (or year, for that matter) but because I’m involved in the joy and stress of planning my wedding, I am more than happy to attend others’ celebrations as a courteous guest this year. I’m always a fan of bringing wine to a party – the hostess gift that never goes out of style!
Laura says
Z ME! I will be entertaining my husband’s family for the first time this year- so these would be perfect!!!!
JenniG says
Z ME!
I love entertaining, but this year I will be traveling to see friends and family, so I will be the one getting pampered! :)
Katie says
Z ME!
I’m hosting Christmas day this year. I learned my favorite tip hosting my first Thanksgiving last year – the night before, go to happy hour THEN prep the dishes. Yes, I’m dangerously dicing vegetables but man did it make prepping fun.
Jessica L says
Z Me!
We plan on hosting a christmas meal at our house – we are making all of the food and meeting any dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian) and having lots of cookies/sweets!
Mary W says
Z ME!! We love to relax and be entertained!
jennifer says
Z ME!
i love hosting parties, but I probably won’t this year, as I plan on going on vacation instead :) I overheard my parents discussing the idea that we should all get together and rent a big beach house and hide out there during Christmas, and that sounds like a good plan to me!
last christmas I invited a bunch of friends over and we all made cookies together, it was a lot of fun and something a little different than the norm :)

Sarah says
Z ME!!
AAHH!! I LOVE THE Z GALLERY SO MUCH!!!
Juli D. says
Z ME!! We are hosting the in-laws this year. The nice thing about entertaining at home is that the husband and I can have as many cocktails as we please. ;-)
Emma - Wohoo! says
Z ME!!!!
I look forward to NOT entertaining this Christmas; too much work, too many conferences, too many papers to finish. Being spoiled by the in-laws will be simply glorious!
Michele says
Z ME! I would rather be the entertainer – and I just want everyone to come and have fun – I like to send my guests off with an ornament or something small like this to remember the occassion by.
Sarah R. says
Z ME!! I love to BE entertained. I embrace my laziness!
Allison says
Z ME!!!
I love to entertain and the key for me is being organized, making lists and just have a great time!
Sarah says
Z ME!
I’m throwing my first Christmas party this weekend, and I’m so excited to have people over!
Robin says
Z me!!!!
I love to host! It’s always so fun to prepare and meticulously plan the evening. I just love everything about it!
D says
Z ME!
I love the holiday sparkle! I’ll be hosting Christmas this year…for the first time :)
Stacy says
Z ME!
We hosted Thanksgiving so Christmas is all on my parents! One trick we use to make the holiday cooking a bit easier is starting a week ahead of time and make it all at your leisure. Then the day of you just have to throw things in the oven and enjoy your company!
Anne W says
Z Me! I like to entertain and be entertained, though the former can be a bit stressful…
Johnna says
Z ME!!!!!
The holidays are always tough – trying to cram in quality time with all parts of the family…..we just hosted Turkey Day and it went off without a hitch.
Hopefully our home will be privy to some Christmas time guests too…but we’ll see. Turkey Day seems to be ours though!
Happy Holiday’s to you and Congrats on your wonderful news!!!!!
Rebecca says
Z ME!
Last ChristmasI rode my bike in the 70 degree weather and ate a lobster and drank a bottle of expensive wine on my back deck.
I plan on repeating something similar this Christmas!
Jesse says
Z Me!
Sadly my husband and I will be moving to a different state over the holidays, for the 2nd time in the last 6th months, so no festive decor or fancy dinners. But that glassware would look great in my living room any time of the year!
Jessaca says
Z ME!
I can’t wait to entertain, but this year, we will still be going over to the in laws. We’re in the process of building a house, so this time next year, you better believe I’ll be breaking out all the decorations (and snapping some up on post holiday sales) so I can be the one hosting. There will be pies, wine and cheese, and a cozy fire. A fire? Glad you asked: I’m going to have a mantel! It’s my dream come true. We had to pay more to add a fireplace to our house, but it’ll be so worth it when it comes to decorating. It really pulls a room together and creates a focual point other than a drab TV. That said, you should do a post on mantel decorating. Even though I’m excited, I’m seriously lost on how to do it. Hugs!
Ashley Michelson says
Z ME, please!! :D I plan on doing both: entertaining at home and being entertained at various homes. To be a good guest, I feel that it is great to offer help to your host/hostess as you can and maybe offer to bring something to make your host’s job easier!
Sarah G says

Kaethe says
Z Me
In order to be a gracious host, I let the spouse do the cooking, so as not to poison the guests. As a guest I offer to help in very specific ways: would you like me to carry the dishes back to the kitchen? That way the host can issue either a casual dismissal “no, sit, enjoy” or a specific counter-offer “no, but could you help me move the aside?”
Maggie says
ZME!! I definately prefer being entertained elsewhere for Christmas… too much pressure!! My mom’s trick, however, is preparing some of the food beforehand; it usually makes the day less stressful!
Amy @ Design-Aholic says
Z Me!
I want to have the holiday gatherings at OUR house, but both sets of parents aren’t ready to give it up yet! Boo!
Kristy says
Z ME! For Thanksgiving I entertained, but for Christmas I will be entertained! We’re traveling 20 hours back to Maine to be with family… they better make it worth my trip ;)
Jacquelin Hicks says
Z ME! I love being the guest at my grandmother’s house on Christmas eve… homemade tamales!
kyla says
Z ME!!! These would look WONDERFUL on my christmas table as I host my family in my house for the first time ever!!
Meghan says
Z ME!!! I am SUPER excited to be hosting christmas this year at our new house(actually VERY old house, circa 1932, but new to us) with my new husband! After years of traveling to see family for the holidays we are finally staying put in our own home and playing host for our friends.
Harmony McCullough says
Z ME!
I definitely will be hosting a holiday party this year–the most important thing is to have plenty of delicious food!
mandy rose says
Z ME!! My husband’s parents host us and his siblings every year after we all attend Mass together. It’s a wonderful evening:)
Stephanie says
Z ME!
I defiantly prefer to host, but it’s a hard task to pull of in my small apartment. This holiday, I want to host a party for friends and I’m so excited about it! :)
cshteynberg says
Z ME!
We’ll be having lots of dinner parties at our house and helping out at my parents’ when we go home for Xmas. My key–load up on extra wine (for parties, for last minute hostess gifts) at Trader Joe’s and make sure to have the makings for lots of last minute apps around.
Nicole says
Z Me! We are going to my brothers house this year. We don’t really live in a place big enough to have people over, so you could say we are entertained!
Adrien says
I host Christmas Eve every year and I have two host-y tips:
1. Cheese. Fancy, fancy cheese.
2. Please make sure there’s a lock on your bathroom door because nothing puts the fear of embarrassment in me more than being walked in on by someone I don’t know.
Ashley T says
Z ME!
I’ll be heading home for the holidays as usual. It never gets old waking up Christmas morning and opening gifts (even those we still get from Santa!).
Patti says
Z ME!
For the first time in a long time I’ll be a guest this Christmas instead of hosting. But when I’m hosting, I try to keep it simple and do as much as I can ahead of time. This way I can make my guests feel welcome and at home. Your guests will only be as comfortable as you are.
Emily L says
Z Me!
I like baking extra batches of favorite Christmas cookies and bringing decorated plates to friends.
Emily says
Z ME! I like being both a guest and a hostess! My way of being a good guest is to bring the hosts a good bottle of wine and if they don’t drink a nice candle is always nice. I always ask if help is needed in the kitchen when I arrive and I always stay and help clean up. I also love being a hostess. It gives me an excuse to use all my best linens, candles,and cute accessories from Z gallerie! Love Them!
