***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!

What fabulous prizes!! I prefer to be entertained at someone else’s house so that I can arrive fashionably late and leave when I wish.
I always bring a hostess gift which is most often a bottle of good wine.
Rebecca S. says
Z ME!!! I love to entertain! Every weekend this month we are having family or friends visit from out of town. Our plan is to do a mini Christmas every weekend since we won’t be able to see them over Christmas (we are going to Mexico with my Hubby’s family!)
In fact I love to entertain so much my friend and I recently started a website with some great, easy recipies, entertaining advice, and other great tools when it comes to cooking and entertaining. It is still in its baby stages, but my friend and I are having a blast with it! Come to think of it, it was you guys that kind of inspired it!
Christy says
Z ME!!
I love to have themes for our parties, which are usually on the silly side. Then my husband and I make up our own cocktail based on the theme!
Heather W says
Z ME!!!
I love being entertained but now that I have my own home, I’m learning to love to entertain here too. Something about it being your own home really makes it fun and special.
Amanda says
Z ME!
I love to entertain and would love to have a nice Christmas party but because I have several family members who have parties there are no weekends left for a party at my house!
Alison says
Z ME!!
I love to entertain but will not host any holiday parties at our house this year. As a guest at a few upcoming parties I plan to bring a bottle of wine.
LeilaMac says
Z ME! Awesome giveaway!
I love to entertain but we’ll be with my parents and in-laws for Christmas. Two tips: always bring a hostess gift, and strip the bed/gather towels when you leave!

My husband is due home from Iraq by Christmas Eve and we’ll be staying at home -just the four of us (including our dog, and bun in the oven)! He’s been deployed the past 2 Christmases, so I’ve never decorated the house! Any help is welcomed!
shanni says
Z Me oh please!
Z Gallerie is a seriously unhealthy obsession of mine….
I prefer to be hosted if it’s the in-laws so I can escape on my own timeline… but I’d love to host otherwise;)
Kari says
Z ME!!! We will be driving to Minnesota this year (from San Diego, YIKES!) for the holidays and will be guests, but we always try to help out as much as we can with washing dishes ect :-)
Lacy says
Z me!
We are entertaining for the first time this year! We need these gorgeous pieces to spice up the place!
Jackie says
Z ME!! I love to entertain! Holidays, birthdays, no reason at all… We have a sweet little cottage but it’s at its best when it’s completely full of people! We will be spending Christmas at my sister’s (who is the ultimate hostess!) and I always bring desserts. I enjoy preparing desserts more than anything else and have pretty cake stands and trifle dishes that I pull out for particular special desserts like Carrot Cake and Chocolate Trifle. YUMMY!!
Suzanne says
Z ME! I love to entertain at the holidays, although I wish our dining room was a bit larger to hold my big family!
Danielle says
Z Me!!
We’re skipping our annual post-holiday party this year, but still do plenty of year-round hosting. My tip is to be relaxed and your guests will feel the same way.
Lauren says
Z ME!! :) I LOVE Z Gallerie!!
I’ll probably have a few people over for the holidays, even though my apartment is kinda small. ‘Tis the season to pack all your friends into your tiny space!! :)
Alicia says
Z ME!! We entertain year-round!
Kelli says
Z ME
I love to entertain all the time! I always have a small gift or favor to give all of my guests…most times it is one of my fab appy’s – box of my frozen homemade buffalo chicken egg rolls! they are always a hit!!!
Liz Mann says
Z ME!
I love to entertain all year round.
whitney says
Z Me!! I am definatly an entertainer!! My husband and I are throwing our first Christmas party together this year and it is a tacky christmas sweater party!! Can’t wait!
Connie says
Z ME!
I love to entertain at my 1961 new to me home! I hosted Thanksgiving and I’m looking forward to hosting a few evenings in over the holidays.
Stefanie says
Z Me!
Actually, we finally have plans to entertain this year. We have a great room with a 23-foot ceiling, and for the last 6 years we’ve been in this new house, we’ve had a live Christmas tree, ranging anywhere from 15 to 20 feet tall, that we get from a friend’s property in Michigan’s beautiful “Up North”.
Hours of decorating, legions of needle scratches on my arms and face, and a sap-covered pair of shoes later, we’re the only ones that enjoy the stupid thing. I refuse to do this work anymore, so we all agreed that if the tree gets decorated, we will make our best effort to have a holiday gathering. I can’t wait!!!
Linda says
z me!
i don’t have concrete christmas plans yet; all i know is that i’m going home to my parents since i’ll be done with finals! :)
Stacey says
Z ME!
My boyfriend and I just bought our first home, and this will be our first Christmas in it! We are hoping to have a small holiday party before the holidays (if we can get everything unpacked and put together in time!) I’m not usually a good hostess (I get frazzled easily, haha) but i really want to put my best foot forward!
Kelly M says
Z ME!
Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I will have to be the only being entertained this year as my house is still under construction from top to bottom =( Lucky me! =)
Emily Wallace says
Z ME!
I love having guests! This holiday is going to be just our family though. Lots of sledding with our daughters :-) My favorite hostess tip is to fix a side dish in the crockpot and a salad in the freezer to free up oven space!
Hilary says
Z ME!
I love to entertain! We don’t have any set party dates yet, but a trick I love to have up my sleeve is to have cookie dough made up in the fridge or freezer so when company comes by on short notice we can have fresh cookies made for all of us to enjoy. With my toaster/convection oven, it’s so quick to do.
Lauren says
Z ME!!! wine and cheese party with my amigos!! yay!
Tashia D says
Z Me!!
We are hosting Christmas for the first time this year due to the fact that we have a new baby and are excited to have him spend his first Christmas at home! We can’t wait!
Adira says
Z ME!
I love hosting informal gatherings. Everyone seems happy when they can just kcik back and relax!
Kathy says
Z me!!
I love hosting, but this year we will be entertained by others due to our remodel. We currently have no kitchen and it won’t be done by Christmas so we get to enjoy 2 Christmas dinners out, one at each of our parents’ homes!
Abby says
Z Me!!! We hosted Thanksgiving this year so I we’ll be traveling to visit family for Christmas. We’re hoping to squeeze in a little causal get-together with friends though. We love to entertain.
Laura says
Z Me!
Now that I’ve moved into my first house (with 3 other girls), I definitely want to entertain. We’re excited to make our place cozy and Christmas-y for the holiday season, starting with a real tree this week! We’ve already sent out the invitations for our Christmas treats exchange party. One thing I’ll be considering as I host this year is how others have made me feel welcome in their homes in the past. I want people to feel comfortable, welcome, and relaxed!
ana melendez says
Z ME!
I am not going anywhere this holiday! I will be happy at home entertaining my kids.
Kelli says
Z ME Please!
I love to entertain – no matter what time of year it is! My favorite thing to do is send guests home with a little favor – usually one of my fab appy’s! The favorite request is a small box of frozen homemade buffalo chicken egg rolls!
Jayme S says
Z ME! I love to host and usually end up asking my close friends to chip in on bringing dishes to make my life less stressful and to make them feel like they are a part of the party/contributors. No. 1 Rule: always send people home with any leftovers around–the scale doesn’t like it when I have a house full of holiday food! but admittedly, it’s much more fun to “be hosted” and always try to bring a homemade gift.
Jen says
Z Me!
I prefer to be a guest and I love bringing a bottle of the hosts favorite wine and a fun wine stopper or a holiday centerpiece..
Emy says
Z Me!
I’m trying to get out of entertaining. My in-laws are so disrespectful. They show up late, complain that our choices in food are weird and don’t even offer to help clean up.
I used to love to entertain when it was appreciated though.
Colleen says
Z ME! I love to entertain, it allows me to cook all the really yummy food I can’t make for myself alone!
LibbyJames says

I think I was born to entertain. I am throwing a awesome christmas party this weekend with a photo booth. my theme colors are red, green, silver and sassy ;) I found great napkins that say “be naughty, save Santa the trip” and everything has been designed around that. CAN’T WAIT

Astrid S says

I’m hosting Christmas at my house for the first time and cooking for the whole family!
Heather J says
Z ME!!
Sadly, we will not be entertaining at our house this year. We are off to France to see my husbands side of the family!
Michelle says
Z ME!
I love to entertain, but it does take a lot of work. To cut down the amount of cooking and buying for parties, we host a “Wine-Off” every holiday season. We ask our guests to bring a cheap bottle of wine (<$15), we cover the labels with brown paper bags tied in ribbon, and then we all go around tasting and ranking them all on homemade scorecards. By the end of the night we crown a winner, but more importantly everyone learns at least 1 or 2 cheap wines that they enjoy drinking. What better way to taste wines than to share them with friends!
Crystal says
Z ME!!
We just bought a house last May and are excited to finally be the ones able to entertain this year! Now we just have to work on getting more decorations! ;)
jamie says
Z ME!!!
I plan on doing both–some entertaining at my house during December and a couple of parties as a guest with families and friends! As a hostess it is great when people actually RSVP so you aren’t worried about 1-no one showing or 2-not having enough food. As a guest I love to bring a little hostess gift and to make sure I clean up after myself/family/neighboring guests and at least OFFER to help with anything else!
shannon says
Z ME! I love Z Gallerie.
I love to entertain for the holidays. One of our family traditions is to celebrate Christmas with my immediate family on Christmas eve; I’ve hosted this for the last four years. I always make a smorgasboard of finger foods, and everyone seems to love it. I try to introduce a new recipe or two each year, hanging on to those that seem to be favorites.
Amy says
Z ME!
I love to celebrate the holidays anywhere. I am really looking forward to entertaining this year as it is our first Christmas in our new house.
Fran says
Z ME!
I prefer being hosted and going home to a clean house. I always bring something and help clean up afterward.
d says
Z ME! I love mercury glass!
I have only tried entertaining once, and it was for Thanksgiving dinner that was a total failure. Rolls didn’t rise, ran out of propane halfway through cooking the turkey … the whole works. It was a disaster. Mom and dad ended up taking everyone out to a restaurant (thankfully we were having this on the Sunday after thanksgiving, or nothing would have been open!). So my rule is, make sure you have EVERYTHING you need, including propane!
