Buzz , Woody and all there friends are back in town so don’t foget to get all your party supplies in plenty of time if you are thinking of hosting a TOY STORY 3 party. If you are not a Toy Story fan or your children are a little younger then why not try a jungle party. If possible hold outdoors, perhaps combine it with a picnic
PARTY BAGS FOR HEN PARTIES
Party bags are not just for childrens birthday parties. If you are organising a hen party why not start the evening by presenting all the guests with a small ” party bag”. The contents of the party bags are totally up to you but some ideas that I have seen work, include, an ice breaker game, assorted hen party accessories such as , hotty whistles, l-plates and flashing head boppers. If you are the artistic type why not personalise the bags.
FATHERS DAY
This is a big weekend for dads. Most will probably be unaware that it is Father’s Day so why not surprise them with something nice. Try making cup cakes or cookies with a personalised message. The kids will love making them (and eating them too). It does not even need to take much time as you can get pre prepared cookie dough. All you have to do is pop it in the oven and decorate when cooked.
PARTY BAGS – UNUSUAL IDEAS
I was reading through the gardening section of a newspaper at the weekend and came across an article on growing small bean sproots in window boxes. it seems very easy and that got me thinking about how it could be used as a party bag present. Why not purchase some small pots , fill them with compost and pop in a seed. They would be perfect as going home presents. If you do decide to give it a go make sure you let us know how you got on.
PARTY BAGS AND PRESENTS – BE PREPARED
As all parents know the end of school term can be hectic. It is also a time when a lot of club activities such as rugby and soccer finish up for the Summer. For the past three or four weeks I have done nothing else at the weekend except ferry my kids from one activity or party to another.
With such a busy schedule it is advisable to be prepared. Buying a few “spare” party presents and gifts will help in the mad rush approaching the Summer holidays. It is also a popular time for hosting parties particularly if your child has a birthday during the holidays.
If that is the case you will need all the time saving help you can get so make sure you have a look at our range of pre filled party bags and gifts. having them delivered to your door means you have one less job to do and of course you can get the rest of your party supplies as well such as decorations, candles and balloons.
SOCCER PARTIES
The World Cup is just around the corner and with the end of term also near at hand there is no better time to organise a soccer party. You don’t even need a birthday as an excuse. Don’t forget that pre filled party bags are readily available to make life easy. There is a great selection of toys and gifts for the party bags, including stickers, whistles and pencils but best of all you will save time and monet with the ready made option.
HEN PARTY GAMES
The onset of Summer and the long evenings marks the start of a new hen party “season”. Pubs , clubs and airports are full of women in pink tutus and devil horns with the sole intention of having a good time. For info and advice on hen party games click through to our blog.
END OF SCHOOL AND PARTIES
I think my last post about BBQ’s had an effect on the weather. No sooner had I mentioned the word sunshine and the clouds started to form. So I won’t write any more about BBQ’s for a while.
With the end of school term in site there is always a rush to host a last minute party or in the case of teachers organise a school play for the older pupils. Whatever is on your agenda don’t forget to draw up a check list and get all your party supplies and party bags ready. For more advice and tips about organising a party click through to our blog.
PARTY BAGS – DRESSED TO KILL
Handing over a beautifully packaged gift or present is usually greeted with smiles all round. Yes the way you present a gift can make all the difference. The same goes for party bags. Make no mistake the guests and their parents will appreciate the effort. For tips and advice on assembling party pags that will impress click through to our blog.
CHILDRESN’S PARTIES – THE PERSONAL TOUCH
There is no better feeling than sending your child’s friends home with a smile on their face. One way of doing so is to personalise the party bags. If the numbers are not large it can be a really nice touch to augment a pre filled party bag with a personalised gift. It can be somethig as simple as a key ring with the child’s name.

BBQ PARTIES
What a weekend! The sunshine is incredible. I was planning on posting some thoughts on hosting a BBQ party over the next few weeks so I could not let the opportunity pass. BBQ’s are a perfect way of entertaining family and friends in a casual and enjoyable manner. However just because they are cauual does not mean that you can forget about some basic planning. Click through to the blog for more and enjoy the great weather.
PARTY ETIQUETTE – THE SPEECH
No matter what the occassion there are always a number of set components for any party, invitations, decorations , food and party bags must all be organised. Then of course there is the speech. This can be anything from a few words of welcome to a full blown wedding speech but like everything else to do with the party it is always best to prepare in advance. There is more info about speech making in our blog.
PARTY BAGS – BUDGETS
With the evenings getting longer and the Summer sun beginning to shine the options of hosting a party in your garden or at an outdoor venue become more attractive. It also gives you a few more options when it comes to the party bags. If you do decide to host the party at home then there is an automatic saving but you can also save more by been inventive with the party bags. For example holding a treasure hunt for the party bags takes the focus off the actual present allowing you to cut bagck a little. For more on summer BBQ’s and party bags please vist out blog
FIRST BIRTHDAYS- PARTY BAG OPTIONS
READY FILLED PARTY BAGS
PARTY BAGS – A UNIQUE GIFT
As a parent I don’t know how many parties I have brought my children to but it is a lot and everytime they leave with a standard sweet filled party bag. A year or so ago I decided to do something different and get my children involved in making the party bags, decorations and invitations. This is not a criticism of other parents but I had reached a stage where I wanted my childrens birthday parties to be a little different and something more unique. Yes it is a little more time consuming but children love getting involved in the party preparations and to see the guest’s reaction to the customised party bags made it worthwhile.
Making the party bags yourself is also a great way of slowing down and interacting with your children. Live is full of demands on our time so do not treat the assembly of party bags as a chore look on it as a chance to do something creative with your children.
PARTY BAGS – SOME CORPORATE IDEAS
Corporate entertainment budgets are been reduced significantly and businesses are become increasingly reluctant to spend money on gifts. That is why it is so important to make sure you get the most out of gifts if you do decide to distribute them. Corporate gift hampers and “party bags” with a selection of branded items have been very popular in the past.
If you own a company or are responsible for corporate gifts you will always want to present a professional image and there is no reason why you should have to compromise on that while at the same time reducing costs. One way to do so is to assemble corporate gifts inhouse.

CELLO PARTY BAGS AND WRAPPING FOR RETAILERS
With the economic slowdown there is a great deal in the newspapers about how retailers are suffering. We have definitely noticed the downturn but as retailers it is up to us to give better service and one of the steps we have taken is to improve the wrapping of items we sell. Cello party bags and bulk cello wrapping is a perfect way of giving customers a little extra.
CELLOPHANE PARTY BAGS AND GIFT WRAP
For busy parents and indeed everyone in general the ready availability of cellophane gift bags is a real benefit. Years ago when it came to wrapping gifts there where very limited options, all in various shades of brown wrapping paper. Now thankfully you can make any gift really stand out by using cellophane gift bags and wrapping.
When you are attending any party, even if it is just an informal gathering, the focus should be on the host or in certain cases the guest of honour. You want to make them feel special and important and one way of doing that is by not only giving a gift but by putting a little extra thought into it’s presentation.
Cellophane gift bags are just perfect for turning a standard gift wrapped box into something exciting that will certainly be remembered and appreciated by the recipient. How many times have you hosted a childs birthday party and at the end of it scratched your head wondering who brought what gift. You started the day with the intention of keeping all the gifts well organised, to be opened later, but somehow the kids always beat you to it. It then becomes nearly impossible to write thank you notes.
PARTY BAGS AND A SUMMER OF SPORT
This weekend is a big one for sports fans. The Masters Golf wil be coming to a finalae and the runners and riders for the Grand National are lining up as I type. Sports events are a great excuse to host a party and you can be sure that there is a party bag to suit the event. The world cup is only weeks away so why not start planning your party now.
