***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!
We just had my husbands family over to our little ranch for his grandfather’s birthday. We barely made our goal of finishing our unfinished projects (like finally finishing installing the bamboo floor in the office)before they came over. We have only been in our house a year now and are SLOWLY acquiring furniture, so we actually had to ask people to bring an extra table and chairs!

We’re going to my hometown of Chicago for the holidays!
Christina says
Z ME please!!!
Don’t think we are entertaining anyone this year, as we just moved to a new state this summer. But I definitely plan on decorating!!
Jon'el says
Z ME! I don’t think we will be entertaining this year. More than likely, I will find some family member’s house to crash. Hopefully next year we will be able to have a Christmas party and actually used the fireplace. I have never been a hostess but hopefully I will learn to become a great hostess/entertainer in the future.
Britney A. says
Z ME!
I love the thought of entertaining, but being young and just recently out of college I haven’t had much of a chance for entertaining…yet that is! Looking forward to doing so this year and gaining tips from you!
Bethany says
Z ME!!
I am not going to be home over Christmas, but I will be at my parents’ home and will be helping to host the family gatherings that will happen there. Can’t wait!! I am so excited!!
Loren says
Z Me: we had 10 people over for Thanksgiving lunch. And we’ll be traveling to CO to be hosted for Christmas. So we like to do a little of both. As host, I like to have just the right music to play in the background to set the mood.
As guest, I like to bring a nice candle or two as a thank you and help out wtih any clean-up needed as a thank you, as well.
megan says
I do not entertain at my house but I like to be entertained at the homes of friends and family. I always bring a hostess gift, my faves are homemade desserts and wine.
Beth says
Z ME!!!

Mary says
Z ME
We hosted Thanksgiving at our house and are not planning any Christmas parties although we are attending a few.
Mary W. says
Z Me…although I enjoy entertaining in my home, I don’t enjoy the cleaning that is required to have people over. Therefore, I prefer to make things to take to my friend’s houses.
Mollie Douglas says
Z ME
We live in a VERY small condo, so our entertaining is very limited. We love to attend our families homes for the holidays!
Amanda says
Z ME!!!
Peg says
Z ME !!! I need help!
Michelle Pompei says
Z ME!
My in-laws are coming down to visit. I love hosting holiday get-togethers. I like to keep things casual and comfortable…but of course a lot to eat and drink! Since we are just starting out, we don’t have a whole lot of holiday decorations though.
Katie says
Z ME!
Our family tradition is to all get together at my grandfather’s house (which is 4 hours away), so no entertaining for me.
Stephanie H says
Z ME!
We are having my parents for our first Christmas as a married couple! Hooray!
MC says
Z ME! We’re having a party at home and going to a couple of parties, too! I would use the votive holders on cafe tables and the hurricane for flowers or bare branches with ornaments on them. The highballs would be great for small flower arrangements, lined up on the bar. As a guest, I like to bring a little something for the hosts as a thank you. Votive holders would be great for that, actually!
Christy says
Z ME!
We will be entertaining our new baby!!!! We will have her Wednesday and hopefully we will show her off all throughout the holiday season! My only tip is to fill our home with smiles as we share what we have with our friends!
Susan S says
Z-ME– I learned through trial and error that the secret to a successful gathering is to provide a generous spread of foods that are both tasty and easy to eat. Dinner parties really only work if your hosting another couple or very small circle of friends but when you’re having a shindig that leads to a lot of mixing and mingling, no-one really feels comfortable setting down to a formal meal with people they only just met.
Fresh baked rolls (even if they’re store bought), deli meat, cheezes, dips, fixin’s an assortment of salad dishes ensure that even the pickiest eaters will find something they like. Since putting it all out on platters takes little to no time, I can whip up a mouthwatering assortment of homemade deserts– which is the best part of the meal anyway right?
That and nothing says welcome quite like the smell of something delious baking in the oven.
Mal says
Z ME . . . we are traveling to see my parents for Christmas. We always try to bring a thank-you little gift to any host and we love to bring things unique to where we live. Right now we live in Seattle, so bars of Theo Chocolate and Fran’s Caramels are our top choices to give.
erin g says
Z me!!!
i have a large christmas party every year, and it is less than 2 weeks away. in fact, i’d better get away from the computer and finish addressing the invites!
EvY says
Z ME!
I am the host and my house is the victim. LOVE it.
carrie says
Z ME!
Having the fam over for Christmas this year.
Laura says
Z ME! We hope to entertain and serve up some home made tamales – yum!
Roxanne says
Z Me! For the first time, I’ll be out of town for Christmas! However, I fully intend to do some hosting for a birthday soon after I get back so my friends and family can enjoy the holiday decor and homemade treats, spiced chai is a current favorite :)
Britiney says
Z Me!!
Katie says
Z ME! We’re definitely having a little get together…I look for any opportunity to throw a party!
Amy W says
Z ME!
We hope to do lots of entertaining in your new home next year :) can’t wait!
Emma says
“Z Me”! I’ve recently hosted Thanksgiving and a baby shower, and my new favorite craft to create are handmade banners made from triangles of scrapbook paper/cardstock and coordinating ribbon! So fun, and you can change the colors/patterns to go along with the theme.
Elise says
Z ME!!
I love to entertain AND visit the homes of my family members – all year round!
Kellie Ruybalid says
Z ME!
We will be letting others do the entertaining this season. Trying to host anything in our small one bedroom leaves us feeling too claustrophobic.
Danielle says
Z ME!!!
We are doing the Polish tradition of hosting Christmas Eve.
Emily A. says
ZME! Every christmas eve my family and another join together for a traditional italian dinner (which is a blessing for my southern, non-itailian, family) and in the past we have traded off house to house. This year we’ve decided as an insentive to get the house looking its best (meaning finally finishing projects that have sat for months on end) we will be hosting the dinner at our home. We will see if it will result in any hair pulling or not!
Rachel says
Z me!
We’ll be hosting a small get-together at our place, in addition to going to many different relatives’ houses. When I’m entertaining, I always make sure to stock the kitchen with things others might like to have–not just what we like to eat. So we stock up on plain half-and-half, unflavored coffee (caf AND decaf), various sodas, etc. It seems like a small thing, but you would not believe what we’ve seen other hosts do. We were even forced to eat our turkey DRY one Thanksgiving because our host didn’t like gravy! Whaaat?
Lori says
Z ME
I love entertaining at my house because it’s a good reason to get those long awaited house projects done. I just re-painted my brick fireplace in order to get ready for a few Christmas get-togethers. Nothing says “welcome” more than a blazing fire you can gather around.
tara says
Z ME . . . we entertain the whole family in our very small home on Christmas Eve with a fondue and assorted snackies. We love to do this. We’ve always waited until the day prior to do a super clean of the house, but this year, we’re cleaning early. Does that sound bad? It isn’t that we’re messy or dirty, just that I want the house to be spotless!
annamarie says
z me…
we’ll be hosting at our house this christmas. i’m both nervous and excited!
Mariel says
Z ME….I’m not hosting, but someday when I do, I plan to have “guest slippers” for our guests to pad around the house in- it will keep their feet warm after I make them take off their shoes!
Angela says
“Z ME!”
I’m not planning on doing any entertaining this holiday. I would’ve liked to but we have traditions of going to other family members houses. If I was going to entertain I would like to create a warm & inviting atmosphere with beautiful christmas decorations and candles and maybe even little goody bags for the guests to take home!
Judith says
Z ME!
We are headed out of town for the holidays, and can not wait!
Tracy says
Z Me!! We are actually hosting a large Christmas party this year at our new home. My tips- make it a potluck event so that you don’t stress yourself out with meal prep and take your group caroling to make for some great memories with your guests as well as spreading cheer around your neighborhood!
darah says
Z ME
We’re entertaining – we did for Thanksgiving and we will for Christmas too. I’ll be 8 months pregnant on Christmas though so can we say potluck? I still just like to host though. I love it when our home is loud with excitement and laughter.
Sherri says
Z ME please!!!
After cooking for family for Turkey day, I’m ready to be entertained for Christmas this year! ;-)
Erin M. says
Z Me!
I absolutely LOVE to entertain! I don’t have my own space yet, but I make do with what I can in my little apartment. I think the key to a successful event is knowing your guests and making them feel at home. This holiday I will spend most of the time at friends/family homes. Don’t forget a host/hostess gift when you go!
Sara S says
Z ME!! I’m in love with this giveaway. NICE!
Chelsea says
Z ME! We still go home for the holidays and spend it with our parents!
Kim C. says
Z ME!
I’ll be preparing a romantic Christmas dinner for just me and my hubby. He returns from deployment a few days before Christmas (what a gift!) so we’re planning to spend the holiday together for the first time in a few years.
Emily says
Z ME!
I just moved into my first house, so thoughts for entertaining in my own home are buzzing around my head. It’s great to read through these comments!
