After another giveaway that hit its maximum number of entries, we closed submissions at 10,000 comments and let random.org pick a winner. The chosen entrant is Nicole is STL, who said she’s looking forward to relaxing with family and friends over the holidays. Congratulations to Nicole!
We brought back the $500 prize because you seemed to love it last time, and this edition was sponsored by Z Gallerie — a go-to source for metallics, white ceramics, and those little luxe touches that make holiday decorating feel extra festive. Whether you were planning to spruce up a tabletop, add sparkle to your tree, update holiday accents, or fill stockings with something special, a $500 shopping spree at Z Gallerie could cover a lot of seasonal charm.

- GIVEAWAY CLOSES (original schedule): Wednesday, November 16 at 8pm EST, or when entries reached 10,000 — whichever came first. This giveaway has now closed.

For anyone who entered, thank you for joining the fun — and for everyone who missed this round, don’t worry: we regularly run similar giveaways and enjoy featuring shops with great seasonal finds. If you like metallic accents, sculptural ceramics, mirrored trays, glass ornaments, or statement vases, Z Gallerie tends to carry items that layer well into many decorating styles: classic, modern, glam, or transitional. A $500 award can be used to mix a few bigger investment pieces with smaller finishing touches like candleholders, napkin rings, and table runners to create a cohesive holiday look.
Some ways you might have spent the prize include:
- Creating a centerpiece with mirrored or metallic elements and a pair of sculptural vases for visual impact;
- Building a themed tree—think all-silver, gold-and-white, or rich ruby accents—for a polished, high-end appearance;
- Stocking up on coordinated tabletop decor such as chargers, napkin rings, and festive dinnerware for holiday meals;
- Adding luxe accents to everyday spaces to keep a festive vibe throughout the season—ornamental sculptures, decorative trays, or seasonal pillows and throws.
We want to reiterate that we are not compensated for hosting these giveaways — they are our way of saying thanks to the community. Photos used in this post were provided by Z Gallerie. For more information on how we run giveaways, rules, and eligibility, check our Giveaway FAQ on the site.
