***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’m still learning how to host parties. We are only hosting a small get together this year.
Noreen says
Z-ME! As a newlywed I cannot WAIT to wake up in my new house with my new husband this Christmas. Starting our own holiday traditions!
genelle says
Z Me! It’s our first year hosting Christmas and I can’t wait to cook for everyone!
Sue says
Z Me!
No plans, I’m having surgery so I’m taking a break from the holidays this year. Love scented candles to get me in the holiday spirit tho (I live in CA so there’s no snow and everything is brown or burnt right now!).
Brooke G says
Z ME! I would definately rather be entertained, but love to help out the host/hostess.
rachel says
Z ME! We’ll be staying with family and I always walk in the door with the biggest box of Godiva chocolates I can afford. Sometimes it’s petite… sometimes it’s the mondo, but it’s always appreciated.
Diana says
I love theses! Z Me! I love going to other people’s parties – and a Volcano candle is the perfect hostess gift!
Tracie P says
Z ME!
We moved into our new home on Thanksgiving- 12.5 hours away from our family. So this Christmas it will be just the two of us (well, plus the 2 dogs, the cat, 2 birds, and the fish!)
Emily says
Z Me! :) Not hosting because I hosted for Thanksgiving and that means I am done for the YEAR!!
Tracy Napper says
Z Me!
We’re hosting an open house one Sunday afternoon; it’s very casual, with coffee and lots of yummy desserts. It’s fun to visit with everyone but I’m usually so busy running around making sure everyone has drinks and snacks that I’m exhausted when it’s over!
Alison (a girl in her element) says
Z ME!
It’s my turn this year to entertain! And I’m super excited… and a little nervous :-)
Lisa K. says
Z ME! I’m not able to host too many parties at our tiny house but I love to be the guest that brings “the” dish. You know, the one that makes everyone return for more, served in a delightfully exciting way as well!
Kathy says
Z Me!
I’m the host this year!
Lauren P says
Z ME!
I do not plan on hosting anyone this Christmas! I just threw the hubby a 30th b-day bash, so no more parties at our house anytime too soon! :)
Lauren F. says
Z ME!
I plan on attending several parties this holiday. My tip is to prepare everything in advance if possible so you’re not slaving away in the kitchen when the guests arrive!
Laura H says
Z ME! :)
I’ll be entertaining this year – but instead of another Xmas party – I throw a dinner party for 12th Night; it’s a great way to catch up with friends while the Xmas decorations are still up – without all the scheduling hassle! The only issue I’ve run into with 12th Night dinner parties is the dreaded New Year’s diet. The diet can be postponed right? Your body doesn’t know the difference between the 1st and the 8th?
Mercedes says
Z ME!!
Heather Kaplan says
Z ME! I would love to host a holiday party this year, but will have to wait till next year…Just moved into a new house! :-)
jessica says
Z Me!
i love to entertain, to create a setting and event that people remember fondly, and as a guest… sending a handwritten note afterwards is the best thing ever, as a hostess i love it!
amanda says
Z Me! We’ll be moving into our new home ove the holidays.
Nicole B. says
Z ME!
No entertaining this holiday season, but the excitement is still there because it’s the first Christmas in my very first home! I will be entertaining after the New Year, and the staple for me is a really nice guest basket full of nice toiletries, towels and other amenities.
Lisa says
“Z ME!”
I host a secret santa party every year with my 12 best girlfriends.. we do a potluck and it works out great because no one has to stress too much! I also make yummy and festive champagne cocktails by mixing champagne with flavored liqours such are pear schnapps, cassis, or raspberry schnapps!
Wendy says

Ben/Kate says
“Z ME!”
We typically have all our friends over for an Ugly Holiday Sweater Party where the biggist concern is laying out lots of really delish food. But actually days of Christmas are spent shuffling between our parent’s houses, where cleaning up (washing dishes) seems to always be appreciated!

amyks says
Z me…i like to celebrate the holidays at home, but since we are in the process of finishing up a huge gut rehab, and moving in at the end of the month…the holidays are best suited for somewhere else this year!
Rebecca says
Z ME! I love entertaining at my house and can’t wait for our new (and much bigger) house to be finished in February so we can extend our guest list!
Amy Young says
Z Me!
We will be sneaking off to the mountains to stay in a cabin just me the hubby and are big ol mut! cant wait! Happy Holidays!
Meagan says
Z ME! This year we will be entertained at other folks homes while we get our recently purchased home in order. As a good guest, I always bring a tasty snack or beverage. Rum balls anyone??
danyelle says
Z ME!
I usually entertain. This year the house is taken over by painters! We will be back at home for the holidays but can’t promice it will be decorated! Hope to send you before and after pics.
Ashley K. says
Z ME!
We aren’t having people over this year, going to my parents and the in-laws…maybe next year we will do Christmas at our home.

Candi says
Z ME!! My fiance and I host a holiday dinner for our closest friends every year and this is our last year in our current apartment. (moving into a new HOUSE!) I would love to break these glasses out for some fun cocktails with them.
Rachel H says
Z ME!
I will be entertained at both my parents’ house and The Boyfriends. After almost 6 years, we have yet to figure out a good way to do holidays. It’s a bigger deal in my family than in his.
Washing dishes is ALWAYS a good thing to do. It’s easy and you can’t mess it up. I always offer to bring a dish too.
Kati says
Z ME! I totally intend on entertaining at my house this year. I have been into the holiday spirit like crazy! As a pet owner, if you plan on going anywhere with your pet, make sure the hosts know you are bringing your dog.
Miranda says
Z ME! We entertained for Thanksgiving but will be traveling to visit family for Christmas. I always like to bring a homebaked good along if invited to a party. Easy, yet personal.
Roanna says
Z me, please! :) Love the Z. Love it.
Kelly says
Z ME!
We’re the crazy people whose tree went up before Thanksgiving this year – but only because we’re having a party this weekend before Williamsburg’s Grand Illumination and knew we wouldn’t have much time this week to decorate. Mulled wine and cookies aplenty!
Jenn_B says
Z me!! I’ not hosting this year, waiting until next year when I have a house full of awesome ZGallerie stuff!!!
adrianne says
Z ME! (Long-time lurker, first-time commenter…)
Woo-hoo, this will be our first Christmas in our new JP condo! I love hosting parties (everything I know I learned from my mom – who just hosted a fab and fun dinner for 18 on Thanksgiving – she throws the best parties!) and before we even got to the party-throwing lessons, she taught that when you’re a guest, never show up with just your two arms hangin’ by your sides… Always bring a little something for the hardoworking hosts! Oh, not sure if someone already said this, but a good host tip is to send a guest or two around to serve the first round of hors d’oeuvres (dont forget a stack of cocktail napkins). Not only is it nice to say Yes when someone says, “Can I help?”, a yummy offering is a nice conversation starter for guests. Better yet, it keeps you free to work on the next hosting task!
Happy Holidays to All and keep up the great work, J & S.

I plan on hosting my book clubs annual Christmas Party; we play “Dirty Santa” and just have a great time. I don’t have to cook this time (yippy!!)but I always decorate and these will go great with my holiday decor!!
Lisa A says
Z ME!
Holiday decorating is a blast, but until we get our kitchen re-done no parties at our house! It is NOT pretty! We have been fortunate enough to have been invited to FOUR (!!!) parties, so our tips to the gracious guest are:
1) Always take a hostess gift. Don’t kill yourself figuring out what to get. A bottle of wine or nice food item is always welcome.
2) Always dress up a little! We live in Austin and I can’t tell ya how many times I have gone to parties where people are wearing short pants and flip-flops! Save this stuff for the BBQ! In my book it’s always better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. Looking nice will make you feel better and your host’s will appreciate it, believe me!
3) Always mingle. Do not depend on your host’s to entertain you! You will meet some great people!
-Follow these simple rules and you will have a great time and will always be invited back!
Lacey@Brickstory says
Z ME! Well, our house is still full of paint tarps and ladders so we’ll have to start the entertaining in 2010!
Emily R. says
Z ME!!
Sadly my house is not big enough to entertain in my own digs, so I’ll be the “entertainee” this year. The best way to be a courteous guest in my opinion is a food/beverage donation and helpful hands when it’s time to clean up (In my fam, the cook never cleans)!
Laura D says
Z Me!
I figure if you have plenty of good food and drinks, the rest sort of takes care of itself.
Kristin L says
Z ME! I preferred to be entertained, hehe. But roomie and I are doing a Christmas party this year!
Sarah Ireland says
Z ME!!!!
I LOVE the holiday pieces you picked out!
I love hosting parties but this year I will just be a guest! I love to have guests help with finishing touches in the kitchen – it makes them feel included and is a great time to chat :)
Christine says
Z ME!
We will be entertained at my mom’s house this year. Courteous guests do not arrive early or stay too late! :)
sarah says
Z ME! With two little girls I always love to strike a balance of creating our own traditions at home (Christmas Eve dinner) and spending time with our extended family (Christmas day at the grandparents).
Kristin says
Z Me!
I’m hoping to squeeze in the hosting of a little holiday shindig for some friends, but we’re still on the parental holiday rotation. However, my mom has basically put me in charge of Christmas Eve dinner, so I’m excited to put my domestic prowess to work. ;)
