***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!

Jonez says
Z – me. I’m entertaining thoughts of entertaining. I want to have an eggnog party.
Kate S says
Z ME! We’ll be crashing both ‘rents places as we do every year in our P.J.’s – it makes both the parents and in-laws feel like we’re truly home. We bring lots of love and christmas spirit, but both moms do all the cookin’!
Amy D G says
Z ME!
The hubby and I are headed to FL for Christmas with our family, but not until right before Christmas. Meanwhile, we’ll probably have a few small get togethers, which are always made better by busting out the Wii!
Carrie says
Z ME!
Between work and family, we have 13 Christmas gatherings this December. Yep, 13…

My apartment is under renovation at the moment so I can’t wait to be entertained at friends’ homes this year!

We entertained last year so we are not entertaining this year. We will be home with family!
Emily says
Z Me!
I’m just informally hosting some houseguests over the Christmas weekend. Gotta plan ahead for the food, though!
Ashley says
Z me!
We’re in the process of moving this year, so the hosting will have to wait until 2010. On Thanksgiving, I noticed how much I love the smell of the holiday right when I walk into a dinner/party… and then was pleasantly surprised when the host sent all her guests home with the same candle we’d enjoyed all night!
DawnMarie says

Our week-ends are already full with every one else’s get togethers. I guess this year I will sit this one out as host and just enjoy. Plus I will maybe get some new ideas as to how others entertain and decorate.
Sarah Hope says
Z Me!
Considering I could only fit approximately 3.2 people in my apartment before we suck up all the oxygen, I will be the gracious guest and not the hostess with the mostess! My biggest tip for being a gracious guest is to be flexible. If the food isn’t the way you would like it, smile and say “Thank you” anyway. If someone wants to talk about an subject you aren’t comfortable discussing, smile and change the subject. The holidays are about being together, not about being the center of attention or about having everything YOUR way.
Susana says
ZMe! please and Feliz Navidad.
Erica says
Z ME!
I love to entertain, but grad school isn’t leaving me with much time to plan! So I’ll let other people entertain me this year!
Terry Hansen says
Z me!
I love mercury glass! My entertaining will consist of my three kids all being home at one time.
Tara says
Z ME!
I am so into all things shiny and glitzy during the holidays. I love to entertain at home, but we usually have to travel for the holidays, so I just decorate my house to the nines and enjoy it with my family of four. When I go to someone’s home for Christmas or Thanksgiving, I always make sure to bring something for the hostess, such as cookie decorating items, or an apron, or something related to food, because we all know how much eating goes on during the holidays…
Jocelyn says
Z me please!!
I won’t be entertaining at my house, but will be making alot of rounds with friends and fam!
NikKidd says
Z Me!
I won’t be hosting this year- managed to get out of that one – which is probably a good thing since our place will not really be ready for entertaining this year.
K Baker says
Z me!
Sadly we never really get to have Christmas at our home, always at the in-laws. My child will be 9 yrs old this year, and next year I insisted we have Christmas at home. I think it is important for your children to have memories of holidays at home, but instead you seem to always be walking a fairness tightrope.
Jackie says
Z ME!!!!!!!
Mecury glass is beautiful!
Montanna says
Z ME
We will be entertaining our little family at home over the actual holiday but heading back home to the snow for the New Year! Great Guest Tip: Bring muffins for the “morning after” for the host/hostess.
Megan says
ZMe!
Lisa T says
Z ME!
For Christmas, we will be entertained away from home this year. I’m looking forward to my mom’s cooking!
Laura F. says
Z Me!
We are entertaining and traveling, also. I love having people over; it gives me a great reason to get our house all ready!
Jen T says
Z Me! I like to entertain – we will be having post-holidays party in early January. Gives me a chance to practice new recipes on my unsuspecting, but generally willing, friends!
Amy says
We’re entertaining! For the first time…so I don’t have any great tips for hosting…yet. :)
Alicia says
“Z ME!”
D Cushman says
Z Me! We’re hosting a dessert party featuring made-to-order crepes (Nutella, anyone?).
Rebecca says
z me!
My family owns a Christmas Shop! We make entertaining decorations possible for everyone. And run ourselves ragged in the process, considering we all work fulltime jobs beside it, and most of us have birthdays in December as well as the holidays themselves! But we still have a traditional Italian Christmas Eve seafood feast. Mom always aims for the seven fishes, but we can’t get all of them in our location, and she usually tuckers out after 3 or 4 and a few drinks!
Sandye says
Z ME!
I love, adore, worship, etc., anything that looks remotely like mercury glass. Seriously. How can a person ever have enough?
anna says
Z ME!
My husband and I are very excited to be returning to the Midwest to spend Christmas with our families. I think one of the best (and hardest) things you do can as a guest is go by the flow of whomever’s home you are in. Trying to go by your own schedule only makes everyone frustrated.
Bethany G. says
Z-ME!
I have started making mini-stockings, just the right size for airplane booze bottles!
I plan on hanging them on the tree when guests come over and having them pick their party favor off of the tree!
Jennifer G. says
“Z ME!”
Erin says
Z me!
We will be heading out of town to visit family and friends.
Kerry says

Having the family over on xmas
mari says

Rachel says
Z ME!
I’m hoping to host this year, especially after all of the time I’ve spent decorating for the holidays. Considering we closed on our home 12/23 last year, the only thing in the house on Christmas was the tree and nativity set.
Krista Haws says
“Z ME!!!”
We are hoping to entertain at our house this season! We did Thanksgiving at our new house for the first time and would love to host Christmas too!
Nicole says
Z ME! I am both the entertainer and the entertainee this year for Christmas. Christmas eve I will play the hostess for my mom’s side of the family. Then, on Christmas day, I will be a guest at my grandpas house. I think the only thing you need to be a good entertainer and/or guest is a cheerful holiday spirit and a smile!
Tracy says
Z ME! :D We’ll be a hosting a party this year which will of course include our traditional white elephant gift exchange and some Christmas charades!
Di says
Z Me! I have everyone over on Christmas morning for brunch and my advice is to cook as much before hand as possible. And, be the first one up in the morning and make yourself a mimosa!
Natalia says
Z Me!
We love to have people over for a Holiday Happy Hour.
Kimberly says
Z me! Luckily we are not entertainging this year. it’s easy breezy for us since we’re visiting family out of state.
Courtney says
Z ME!
I won’t be entertaining this year, but wherever I go for the holidays, I always carry a few of my favorite easy party recipes because I usually end up helping make a dish, dessert or side when attending events in other people’s homes.
Trish T. says
Z ME!
I plan on entertaining a bit for the holidays (a casual get-together with friends). My entertaining tip is to always have a few items around for those unexpected guests: cheese, crackers, dried fruit, and nuts can be thrown together pretty effortlessly, but make you look like you planned for guests.
PJ says
Z ME!
I’ll be happily entertained by someone else this year, I think. Either way, I think the best host/guest should always keep the spirit of the season on their mind and in their heart. Everything you do from there will flow.
