A Christmas Giveaway from Everyday is a Holiday & Spode (GIVEAWAY CLOSED)



This is a very special time of year for many of us. Even if you're not completely obsessed with your collections like I am...I'm betting you've got a pretty big handful of things that you just need to bring out year after year to make the holidays that much more magical. Family heirlooms, favorite decorations, personal treasures, and even those quirky little things that date back to your childhood that maybe look a little worse for the wear but they're priceless to you. 
Being a collector, I'm simply enchanted by the memories (real or imagined) attached to these holiday things. I've even been known to calculate the passage of time by how many Christmas trees I've had between life events. I'll say "Aar, that was like three Christmas trees ago." Yeah...maybe Jenny Holiday is a very fitting name! 

So, when we were contacted to possibly host a giveaway of Spode, we didn't have to think for a moment. We grew up hearing the name, seeing it in gift shops, in catalogs, Macy's. For 75 years they've been bringing out a whole new collection of holiday goodies...Always classic and heirloom quality.  


Here at casa de Holiday we have the Christmas Tree Peppermint Cake plate and server. I thought it worked perfectly to serve up these super fun cupcakes. And just so I can get to use the matching server I'm planning on baking a gingerbread bundt cake for the second wave of partying. It's a set that will be a focal point year after year. I kinda like the idea that having this set will pretty much compel me to bake up the perfect treat every Christmas. 

I'm totally in love with the motif, simply titled Christmas Tree. 

It's one of Spode's most well known designs and was first introduced in 1938. So yeah...it's the 75th anniversary of the Christmas Tree design. Me and Aaron absolutely love the colors and decorations on the tree...there are little Japanese lanterns, pastel toned birds, and bits of pink and aqua tied in with the traditional Christmas colors. 


And we're thrilled to be hosting this giveaway!


One very lucky Everyday is a Holiday blog reader will win this classic, nostalgic, and adorable little set. If you enter, the Spode Christmas Tree Sugar Bowl & Creamer Set can be all yours! All you have to do to enter is like Spode/Portmeirion Group on Facebook and leave a comment below telling us what your favorite decoration to bring out each year is.

You can find The Portmeirion group on pinterest as well! They have some fabulously festive boards and they host not only Spode, but also Royal Worcester and Pimpernel tabletop brands. 

For an extra entry Pin this giveaway on pinterest and leave a separate comment letting us know you did!

Good Luck!! Merry Christmas guys!

    I liked the Portmeiron/Spode Group on FB. My favorite holiday decoration is our "First Christmas" ornament. We always save that one for last and put it on the tree together - sealing it with a kiss. Definitely my favorite part of trimming the tree.

    I guess the most favorite would have to be my son's "baby's first Christmas ornament" though I love my collections too!

    My absolute favorite Christmas decoration is an old mercury glass ornament that belonged to my parents. It's round in shape with a depression in the front. Inside the depression is a glass vial the holds an orange liquid. I was always fascinated by it as a child, watching the movement of the liquid reflected in the mercury glass. One year, Mom and Dad gave it to me and I was thrilled! It always makes me smile and remember those Christmas' past when I take it out of its special box and hang it on the tree each year. Hugs, Leena

    Just liked on Facebook - didn't know they had a page! Love my Spode Christmas Tree & use it every year throughout the holidays. Also our wedding china is Royal Worcester, part of their group. My favorite ornaments are those my now adult children made in elementary school. A little worn, perhaps, but always part of our Christmas tree!

    I love this stuff! I just went over to the Spode website and found the Christmas Tree items are WAY on sale, like half price; and then they give you a 20% discount extra! I just ordered a set of the dishes to complete mine. I love the candy cane stripes on some of the pieces too. Merry merry! Now, my favorite decoration is the creche set my parents bought back in the 1950's.

    We have some ornaments from the 50's that belonged to my grandmother. Every year they get a place of honor on our tree. A little Christmas mouse with a bell and a nativity ornament.

    I've been collecting Spode since I was 17, when I was given a pomander in the Christmas Tree pattern. I would love the creamer and sugar because it seems I also acquired a husband from England who drinks tea! P.S. I "liked" Spode on Facebook, too.

    I hope you had, and continue to enjoy, a Merry Christmas! My mother always enjoyed the Spode Christmas china and uses it still, though I love Portmeirion and it has been my every day dinnerware for 18 years.
