***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!

Great giveaway…I just bought a Christmas present for my little sis at Z Gallerie the other day. No hosting for us this year, just moved and trying to get things in order and decorated for the holidays.

We have an annual Christmas party…actually we have three. We found that one party is too big for the hosts to enjoy. So we have one Friday party (usually my husband’s work friends), a Saturday big party with most of our friends, and then a Sunday brunch for neighbors. After all, once the house is clean and you make a ton of food, might as well do more than one party, right? Given the economy this year, we’re only having two parties. As long as we can entertain our friends, I’m happy!
Sara says
Z ME!
We *love* to entertain, but we also love to visit our friends and family. So I guess we ride the fence on this one! :)
Elizabeth says
Z Me!
We usually are the guests–be on time, excited, and mingle with everyone.
Lori says
Please give theZe to ME! (or you know, Z ME!)
I am having between 12 and 16 people over for Christmas dinner the weekend before we go home for Christmas. I am currently trying to figure out how to acquire card tables and chairs on the cheap, as I don’t have a dining room table that seats that many people!
Oh, and I need chafing dishes. Anyone have great sources?
Stephanie says
Z Me! I love entertaining but this year I’ll be the one being entertained at my Aunt and Uncle’s house.
Beth says
Z me, please.
I’ll be a guest this year, and I believe that for big events like Christmas, the best guests bring a bottle of wine, flowers, and a gift of food (chocolate or artisan cheese or…)–and start complimenting the smell of the food, the taste of the food, the presentation of the food as soon as possible.
Stephanie says
Z Me! I love being the hostess! We’re hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. In my mind, the most important thing as the hostess it to be prepared in advance so that you can focus on the guests when they arrive and make sure everyone feels comfortable. For our Christmas party, we’ll set up a bar with a few signature cocktail recipes so that guests can mix their own.
Kimberly says
Z ME!
I do believe I will be the lucky entertain-ee this holiday season. Good guest tips: be calm, low maintenance, go with the flow. Offer to help where appropriate and say thank you!
Stephanie B says
Z ME!
We won’t be hosting anything big at our place this year. As much as I love being able to plan it all out, it is nice to let someone else take care of the actual hosting.
Jen says
Z ME!
Katherine says
Z ME!!
I’m hoping to host a Christmas cocktail party this year. It would also serve as a sort of housewarming party as we moved into our first place two months ago!!
Esther says
Z Me!
I love entertaining! However, I am getting married a week before Christmas so that is probably out of the question this year! Next for sure though!
Hannah says
Z ME! Hopefully next year at this time, we’ll have our first house to entertain in!
Ben W says
Z Me!
I prefer to be entertained by others! All the fun with none of the work!
Christa M says
Z ME!! Headed up to North JerZ to spend time with both my boyfriend’s and my families. Maybe even catch a lil NYC at Christmas time action!
Advice for guests – If bringing along an app/entree/dessert, be sure that it’s all ready to go and doesn’t need to be prepared or refridgerated after you arrive. There just may be no room in the oven/Mic/Freezer/Fridge and you may be slowing down the Host’s flow. Otherwise, just ask the host(ess) a day or so before if they think it will be alright.
More advice for guests – The host(ess) has a lot going on. Bringing flowers for the Host(ess) is a very nice gesture, but make sure they are already pre-arranged in a vase that you are willing to gift to them.
Advice for Host(ess) – If you’re not quite ready to mingle and your guests are starting to arrive, take a minute to introduce people and maybe even bring up something that you know they have in common or an interesting fact so that they can talk about it while you are still prepping.
Sara Lang says

I prefer to host, and have a few parties already scheduled! My biggest tip is to make sure guests feel welcomed– this includes taking their coats, getting them a drink, and making sure your bathroom is warm and welcoming. That way, people come back!
Artsy Fartsy says
Z Me! We’re hosting several get-togethers this year – I would love some more sparkle and shine for our casa!
layersofmeaning says
“Z ME!”
Both! We will have people over & also head over to our friends & family during the holiday season
Megan says
Z ME!!!
I love going to my parents’ house for the holidays. It is so much fun to spend time with my younger siblings!!!
Sabrina P. says
Z ME! I’m hosting at home this year AND going as a guest for another party. I think its always nice to bring a small treat for the hostess, like a bottle of wine, some special candies on a pretty platter or maybe some great homemade bread.
Michelle says
“Z ME!”
I will do both! These would be great.
Allison says
Z Me!
I will definitely be entertaining this year, as it’s my first year not traveling back home for the holidays.
Leslie says
Z ME
This year my husband and I are hosting his family for Christmas dinner. This will be the first time. I need some new decor since I have not decorated in several years.
Bailey Baker says
Z ME!!
Christmas hosting …
Z Me! says
The best way to be a good hostess (or host), is to have as much done ahead of time as possible. Don’t be fussy with your food – you are supposed to attend and enjoy your party – that’s why you’re having one! Always give yourself a half hour ahead of the party to rest, fix your face, have a drink. Then have fun!
Lindsey says
Z Me!!
We are hosting a Christmas parade post-party and an early Christmas dinner/bday celebration for my brother this year. It is the first time we have hosted any Christmas parties, so I am super excited!
L.Duncan says
Z ME! We are doing a family get together. Kind of like a pot luck!
Jessica M. says
Z ME!
We are out of town from both sets of parents. We’ll be celebrating at my in-laws house for Christmas, but we are having my parents over to celebrate (a late Christmas) on New Year’s Day!
VS says
Z me
Love this
Kate says
Z Me!
I am heading to my in-laws and I always make my homemade mac and cheese as a side dish. It makes both kids and adults happy!
Anna says
Z me!
I would love to host, but our tight quarters don’t get much love over the holidays. (Bummer!) If I coiuld host, I’d love to have beautiful table arrangement complete with placecards, candles, and more!
Cecily T says
Z ME!
We are saving our entertaining this year for January or February. In fact, that’s my tip: Everyone is so busy during the holidays that it’s hard to get people together. By late January/early February people are rested up from the holiday whirlwind and looking for some low-key fun. We’ll probably host something in our newly-finished basement (assuming that the bar gets finished by then)!
Shannon says
Z Me!
We’ll be hosting Christmas Eve dinner for the first time so I’m having a slight freak out. Slight. Okay, huge.
Erica says
Z Me!
While I’m sure that one day my husband and I will be passed the entertaining buck, at this point in our lives, we still schlep over to our parents’ houses for the holidays. A gracious guest always brings something, though, regardless of whether or not something is asked for — so, I make sure to do plenty of holiday baking for sharing with our families.
Whitney says
Z ME!
Kelly K says
Z Me!
We are having our annual New Year’s Rockin’ Eve party this year at our house! It’s always a blast! Plus, we offer a ton of sleeping space, so people don’t have to worry about driving home on New Year’s Eve.
Sam G says
Z ME! We’ll be entertaining at our house. We’ll have family for Christmas Eve, then out of town guests from the 26th – 29th. Can’t wait to show off our holiday decorations and these would be the perfect addition.
Emily says
Z ME!
We hosted Thanksgiving, but we’re going to the in-laws for Christmas (lots of younger siblings to see on the big day!). Our best hosting attribute is a piano – we are musicians and love having people sing or play the piano!
Charlotte says
Z ME! I plan on having friends over for low-key entertaining throughout the month as a break from the holiday rush.
Laura Stern says
Z ME!
We are going to my family’s house in Florida to take a break from the cold weather in Missouri.
Rachel P says
Z ME!
I love to entertain. I love all the decorating and baking, it is my favorite thing ever.
These decorations would look perfect anywhere in my home. Our Christmas decorations are Silver, White and Champagne…so these would be perfect!
Melissa G says
Z Me!
My husband are spending Christmas with his side of the family. His aunt is fantastic at hosting holiday parties. She is so creative and fun. The best thing a host can do is be fun and not worry about too many details. Guests would rather spend time with the host than never see them because they’re stuck in the dining room.
Anna says
Z me! I prefer to be entertained by others out of sheer laziness. :)
Amanda says
Z Me! This is our first Christmas that we have to “split” between both of our parents house – so Christmas Eve at one house, and Christmas Day at the other. We bought our first house this year, so we hope to entertain next year … but don’t want to take the “job” away from either mother. :) As far as making things easier, we make sure that we bring plenty of homebrewed beer and always ask what treats/snacks/sides we can bring to make the day even merrier.
Amy says
Z Me!
We love to entertain but most of our Christmas get-togethers are planned at other family member’s houses this year. When we do host, we like to have games available for guests to play!
jessica says
Z Me!
pretty please :)
sarah M says
Z Me! I love hosting… I love researching our guests interest and incorporating them into our theme. So much fun!
Jessie (Vegan-minded) says
Z ME! I love to entertain, but I don’t plan to do so at my home this holiday season. Good food and drink is the most important thing!
Rachel says
Z ME!!! I plan on having our family over sometime this season since it is our 1st Christmas in our new home :-) Btw, LOVE the Christmas decor in your house!
