***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!

I’ve got a full house this Christmas with the ‘rents and sis’nhub coming from out of state. A couple things I like to do for house guests are specific makeup cloths for the visiting ladies, and make sure I have all of the local visitor bureau info in a folder for peeps to peruse. I also had Thanksgiving here, and my sis-in-law brought iced coffees for the both of us to drink while I cooked and we talked. Best hostess gift ever!

Planning on hosting my first holiday party!
I bought some festive party crackers which I think will be fun placed on each person’s plate & a set of assorted jingle bells in assorted sizes for place cards (adding a name tag with ribbon.) Found both at Marshalls for a total of $15!
Sarah says
“Z ME!” We have hosted every holiday for 11 years, and for the first time ever I am not stressed, and actually had fun on Thanksgiving. I have finally realized the holidays aren’t about the perfect table, or the perfect meal, the holidays are about the people who join us.
So in the words of Dr. Seuss: “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” Cheers! ~s
Katie B. says
Z Me! We like to do a little of both, we’re having family over Christmas Eve and then attending several parties for work and with friends. I was just setting my holiday table scape today and thought a little bit of silver would be perfect! Those votives or hurricane would be great!
Megan says
Z ME!
I just found mercury glass and am in love. I would love to use these pieces in year round decorating.
Wine is always my suggestion when hosting or being hosting!
Tressa Smith says
Z ME! Those are pretty!
We entertain on Christmas Eve, and also at friends’ and families’ homes throughout the season.
Ashley Grey says
Z Me please! I love hosting holiday parties. They usually involve a fancy dinner and then we bust out the board games!
Cate says
Z ME
We’ll be attending Christmas Eve with my family this year and Christmas Day with my husband’s family, though I think we’re both getting ready to branch off and do our own thing for the holidays.
Mari-ann says
Z ME!!! Bring a bottle of wine, Offer to help with the dishes and don’t stay too late at the party..the hosts probably have things to do the next day too.
Celeste Zuckerman says
Z ME
Love going over to the fam’s for the holidays!
Erin Coleman says
Z ME!
We just purchased a new home, and won’t be done updating it in time (we have a few projects in mind ;) ) in time for the holidays, so we’ll be partying somewhere else… we will def. be hosting events in the future though!
Renee says
“Z ME” !!. I honestly prefer to BE entertained. Fondue at my parents on Christmas Eve, nothing beats it!
Lisa says
Z me!
The key to instant party success is anything wrapped in bacon! (shrimp, dates, waterchestnuts, figs, and on and on and on)
Tiffany says
Z ME!
Kellie says
Z ME!
I prefer to entertain at my house, but I’ll be away all month visiting my family. Maybe next year.
Laura says
Z Me! I would love to entertain at my house, but sadly my 700 sq ft townhouse (700 sq. feet, 2 levels!) doesn’t accommodate many guests…
Erika says
Z ME!
I like hosting at my house because I like to decorate it but our condo is little too small to host the holidays so we are going to my parents. I think the best guest is one who helps with the dishes :)
katie says
Z ME
We just got married a month ago, so our home isn’t quite up to hosting yet… luckily we have wonderful friends and family nearby who always have us over. I have been practicing my baking, and plan on bringing goodies to all the events!
Nicole says
Z ME…. We will be traveling back to my hometown Milwaukee!
Sarah says
Z ME!
I love hosting and I love the holidays! However, with my busy schedule this month, I won’t be hosting any get-togthers. My tip for successful hosting? Prepare what you can ahead of time so most of your time during the party is with your guests!
CherylP says
Z ME!!!!!
We’re spending Christmas with my best friend…she’s always been Aunt Linda to my kids and I can’t imagine a holiday without her.
My tip: if you’re bringing food to a holiday gathering, always spend the money and get a disposable container. That way, your hostess doesn’t feel obligated to find containers to store the food so she can wash your dish.
Candice says
Z Me!
The holiday season is my favorite time to entertain. I prefer serving heavy appetizers and snacks instead of a big time consuming and stressful sit down dinner.
Susan says
Z ME! Going home for the holidays in Alberta, Canada. Can’t wait!
Corey says
Z ME!
Heading to Texas for the holidays. :)
Kristin @ Domestic Ease says
ZEEEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Love these! ;)
suzanne k. says
Z ME!
it’s our family’s first Christmas together, so we will be spending it at home just me, my husband and my 10 month old son
Robyn says
Z ME!
I prefer to be entertained elsewhere! And my biggest rule for being a good guest is to leave the party at a decent hour–no keeping the hosts up long after everyone’s left!
Kate M. says
Z ME! Although we live in a condo, my fiance and I love entertaining during the holidays. It sounds simple, but we always ask each guest to bring something, whether it be a bottle of wine, a dessert, or whatever. Everyone wants to help, and this is a great and easy way for each guest to feel like they’re contributing something.
Michael says
Z Me! We are entertaining a few friends and going to our family’s houses for the holidays.
Brittany says
Z ME!!
I like to entertain, but I LOVE to be entertained. I always try to be a good guest and help out in the kitchen with dishes.
Jamie says
Z ME
We are still in an apartment, so large family gatherings are not easy! But I love to entertain, and I have been told that I am a great hostess. I just make sure my guests always have something to eat and drink, even if they are coming over to watch a movie!
Mollie says
Z ME!!
My favorite entertaining staples are choosing staple drink or two, sticking with a few reliable appetizers, having a great music mix and keeping things simple so you can enjoy the company.
michelle says
z me!
we’re going to be a lot of entertaining during the holidays
Emily says
Z ME!
I’d love to entertain for Christmas but will be returning home to Ohio. I will make lots of gingerbread to bring with me instead.
Ashley Jenks says
Z Me!!
I hope to have some friends over, but we won’t be doing any big entertaining. I can only seat 4 for dinner :o(
Angela H says
Z ME!
We love to have guests over! I like to leave a chocolate on everyone’s pillow (seriously!). It always breaks the ice and starts up a conversation not to mention puts a smile on our guest’s faces right away.
lisa phil says
“Z ME”
My husband and I will be low-key this holiday. I’d like to entertain but we live in a tiny apt! I like to put out trays of finger food.
Amy says
Z ME!
I am crazy about mercury glass right now.
We entertained at our house for Thanksgiving, but are traveling to visit family for Christmas.
nana o says
ZME. Will be having a great and fun fake “wintery” party for my two kids who miss snow all the way in tropical West Africa!
Zhaleh says
Z ME Unfortunately I neglected to plan ahead for my traditional gingerbread house party, but I will definitely be indulging in some holiday cheer elsewhere. I always help with dishes after a party…it is the task I dread the most, but my hosts are appreciative.
Carly says
Z ME! We will have been in our first home for about 6 months come Christmas, and I want to entertain, but don’t know if we will. It might be easier not to since we still have so many little projects going (much thanks to this little blog for ideas…). :)
Jason says
Z ME!
Brads says
Z ME!! I love to play hostess but when it comes to the holidays theres nothing better than going to our families homes for the holidays
Jessica says
Z ME
We always host Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with both our families…my best advice is always have spare chips and dip on hand incase you under estimate!
Lemon says
Z ME, please.
I hosted family and a neighbor for Thanksgiving. I’ll be a guest for Christmas. I always used to work the holidays so others could be with their families, but these days I have a regular 9-5 so I like to host if I can.
Sarah says
Z ME!
We love to entertain friends and family at our house. I love spending time with everyone!
Paula I. says
Z ME!
My husband and I live in the same city as his family so we get to go hang out with my family in another state for Christmas and I can’t wait (for a few days off work and a few days to be with those I love and miss!). I get really stressed out when people come to my house for holidays because I want the house to look perfect so these little pretties would make me feel a ton better about having folks over this year!
DemMom says
Z Me! We have an Open House on Christmas Day, which I love love love and we look forward to all year. All our friends who don’t travel or spend the day with big family gigs, come over. We have millions of cookies, gallons of wine and beer, the kids play with their presents. It’s very low key and relaxing. That’s my secret to entertaining: relax! Love your blog, and am a fellow Richmonder!
Miranda says
Z ME! I was just at the Gallery in question yesterday- and loved EVERYTHING! They have the most beautiful holiday stuff.
My Husband and I entertain all the time! I think the most important key to remember is to make sure everyone there will feel comfy! is there enough seating? Enough drinks and snacks- and to make sure there is something for everyone! Its always fun to have a theme to the party too. I like color themes- black if your Oprah, white is your Kanye…. heck why not purple. Just because its a hot color this year! What ever it is, have fun!
Katie M says
Z me!!
Every year we host a New Years party. Everyone gets dressed up and we all have a great time. There is often lots of snow which really helps to add to the festive mood.
