***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 please! We are doing both this year!
Meg Kittrell says
Z ME! We are celebrating at my families, but someday I look forward to hosting!

I typically spend the holidays at my grandmother’s house. My Mama always taught me to bring a hostess gift if I were staying with someone or attending a big celebration. It can be something simple like candy or a gift basket. It’s just a way of letting them know you appreciate them.
MeggyD says
Z ME! I need some beautiful things to decorate my house and sparkle it up for entertaining!! I’ll be hosting a dinner party with close friends.
Ashley says
Z ME!!!
We are entertaining here. Tip would be just to prepare and don’t hesitate to accept help.
marisa says
Z ME!! I just hosted for Turkey day, so I will be enjoying everyone else’s hospitality this year!
jack says
Z ME. I will be going to both parents and the inlaws houses this year, yay….
Melissa M. says
Z Me!
I love having people over for drinks and appetizers- It is way more fun than sitting down for a full meal.
Stephanie says
Z ME!!
This is the first Christmas in our new home…and I
am excited to host Christmas this year for all of our
family!
Mary-Carolyn says
Z Me!
Generally, I’m happy to have people over, but if its my in-laws, I prefer to go to their house. Its easier to leave someone’s house than it is to kick someone out of yours!
Lauren says
z me!!!!
i love to host. but i also love to be hosted!!!!!!! does that count?

We are planning on having Christmas at our house this year. It will be my first time hosting it. We usually just go to my Mom & Dads since hubby’s family lives way down south. But this year, we are both graduating for our BSM on Dec 19th and everyone will be here.
beabee says

We’re the one couple in our extended family that live outside the state, so we get to be entertained when we go home for holidays. Since we couldn’t make it for Thanksgiving, one of my hubby’s co-workers had us over, and it meant a lot to spend the day with a family rather than just us two.
L.S. says
Z ME!
I love to BE hosted! :)
Kelly says
Z Me! We are hosting every side of the family this year — I could use some tips on dealing (making holidays cheery) with the in-laws :-/
LizzieBeth says
Z ME!
I plan on doing both. I will be a guest at two holiday parties this year. I almost always bring the hostess a gift- this year it will be bottles of wine from a local winery and bottle stops with their monogram on the top- only about $25 for the whole gift!
This is my first year out of my parents house, so I would love to host a New Year’s Day dinner. When I was younger we used to go to my grandmother’s every year and have ham, pineapple stuffing and ambrosia. We don’t do that anymore, but I am itching to bring back the tradition!

This year I’m hosting my family’s Christmas get-together the week before Christmas. The planning has already started and I can’t wait!
Laura says
Z ME!!
I love to host holiday gatherings. This year I have a new house with an open floor plan and I can’t wait to start entertaining. My secret is to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I try to keep my eye out for the person sitting alone and make sure to introduce them to someone new or help them fit into a conversation. Make sure the lighting is soft, the food is warm and the drinks are merry. It’s that easy!

Z-ME!
Sandy Hope says
Z Me!!
The beautiful hurricane and highball glasses would look great on my Christmas table. We love sparkley!
Sara Mason says

Bethanie says

We always do Christmas at home with one side of the family, then we go to an aunt’s house to celebrate with the other side before or after the actual day of Christmas. Either way, it’s a feast!
Julia says
Z ME!
I actually have to work on Christmas this year, so I won’t be hosting or hosted. :(
I’ll still have my sweet husband to snuggle with when I get home from work though.
Alisa D says
Z Me!
We are not hosting any gatherings this year. I’m kinda bummed about that. Last year we had several. But this year, we have a 4 month old, so we decided to let everyone else entertain us this time!
When I host – especially for the holidays – I like everyone to leave with something. Last year, I had jars of a dessert mix (s’mores in a jar). It was simple, and it got rave reviews!
Ann says
Z Me!!!
Christine says
Z Me!
I’m more of a party-goer than a party-giver.
Liz says
Z ME!
I make sure to have plenty of food and beverages on hand for guests. That seems to keep them entertained.
Lael says
Z Me!
This year, my husband and I are splitting our time between my parent’s house and his parent’s house…. which is going to add up to be alot of driving! I always like to bring a Christmas-y scented candle or a plateful of Christmas cookies to the host’s house. It’s a nice, yet inexpensive way to thank the hosts for their hospitality.
Jordyn says
Z ME!
I’ll be spending the holidays in Scotland with my husband’s family this year, but I love to entertain and we’ll probably be hosting them next year!
Mary Anne Carroll says
Z ME!
I am hosting my dad’s side of the family on Christmas Eve and then my mom’s family Christmas Day…Lord help me!
Tensy says
Z ME!
I love Z Gallerie, it is my favorite place to shop for home accessories. I saw those votives last week and loved them…sure would enjoy winning the set! Entertaining advise #1: keep the food simple (per Ina Garten), do as much ahead as you can, ask people to bring things and enjoy your company. Advice #2: place votive candles (scent free) throughout your table and in your living room, the sparkle creates a wonderful atmosphere.
Carolyn says
Z ME! We’ll be entertaining, and being entertained! Way too much going on during the holidays…
Sarah says
Z ME!
I like to have do a little bit of both, hosting some (as long as the group’s not too big for our little house) and taking advantage of others’ hospitality the rest of the time. When people are over my favorite thing is when they clean up. Oh, how I hate washing wine glasses.
Amanda says
Z Me!!!
I will not be hosting Christmas dinner this year. But next year will be my fiance’s and mine first Christmas together as husband and wife, so I definitely want to host it for our families then. In terms of being a good guest, I always try to help cook, clean, or anything else I can do to help out!
jennifer says
z me!
I love to entertain! I think making it easy makes the guests feel welcome and enables the host to have fun too!
Gina says
Z ME!
I LOVE have a big huge Holiday party every year – it’s such a great opportunity to see friends and family… A good tip is to make as much as possible ahead of time and also set up all the food displays ahead of time – then all you have to do is heat up the food and put it in place!
js says

We bought our house specifically because it was great for entertaining. My husband’s family is all local, and we generally end up with around 20 people at a time. With a big kitchen and lots of space to spread out, we love having everyone over this time of year!
Jennypenny says
I prefer to be entertained elsewhere. We do entertain, but I always feel like I’m not very creative. Oh well, I’ll get better with experience!
Leanne says
“Z ME!” We have my very immediate family over on Christmas evening. Its just the four of us, my mom and dad, and my sister and her hubby.
Beka says
Z ME! I love to entertain at our house! My best tip is to have an ending time. We love to have Christmas at our house, but plan a Christmas evening movie to end the festivities, so that everyone packs up and leaves with a smile.
Stefanie says
Z ME!!!
We will celebrate Christmas morning in our home and head to my Mom’s for a yummy Christmas dinner in the afternoon!
Callie says
Z ME !!
I love love hosting.
Be sure and appeal to the senses. Turn on a lamp, light a candle, and pick some tunes.
nikki elston says
Z ME!! This holiday I’m all about being hosted, not hosting!
grace says
Z Me!
No entertaining at our house… we’re going down to my in-laws for christmas. It’s tradition.
Jasmine says
Z ME!!
This is our first Christmas as homeowners so I’m not really sure what the season will bring but if I won these goodies from Z Gallerie I’d certainly have one more thing to celebrate! ;)
Cecelia says
Z ME!!
I LOVE mercury glass and see pieces of it that either look futuristic or as Old World as a knight’s chalice.
I’d like to spend Christmas dining with only my husband, in a room full candles, and all these items made of moonlight.
Melanie says
Z ME!
No hosting this year, and that’s fine by me. Will be a quiet holiday…yea!!
Ashley says
“Z-ME Please!”
It’s a hobby & passion of mine to host get together’s at my house. I love getting all the credit from the table setting to the decorative throw pillows. I plan to host my family and friends and my husbands side of the family at my home for Christmas. Also, it’s our first Christmas in our new home so I have really went above and beyond. I put up two Christmas tree’s and made mini tree’s from bottle brush and placed them in each room. Gold balls dangle from the chandeliers this year and a Santa hat made into a lampshade. I also handstitched my own apron, as the perfect hostess should adore a lovely apron while serving her many guests. What makes it all so special though is that both my new husband and I share in the joy of opening our house up for those we care about. We work as a team to make sure everyone is comfortable in our home and enjoys them self while they are here. Most of all we want them to feel as they are “home away from home”. Whether that means taking their shoes off and kicking back or gathering around the fireplace to really get in the Christmas spirit!
Em says
Z Me, please!
My boyfriend’s parents are driving cross country to be with us this year. It is the first time we’ll be spending Christmas with them. I am such the nervous girlfriend/hostess right now as I prepare for everything.
alisha says
Z ME!
We’ll be trekking across country on a 17 hour road trip :)
