These are a few of my favorite things!
Last month, I hosted a Favorite Things Party with a few of my favorite people. It was a hit! I invited over four of my girlfriends for an afternoon of fun and good food. Prior to the party, I send out an evite to explain exactly what a Favorite Things Party was.
What is a Favorite Things Party?
A Favorite Things Party is like a mini-Oprah’s Favorite Things show. No, no one got a car but we shared some of our favorite things under $6. Everyone brought 5 of the same item and everyone left with 5 different things in their bags. We did this in placement of buying everyone a gift and going out to dinner for the holidays. Cost effective and so much more fun!
It was so much fun to see what everyone would bring. My favorite things? Ulta nail polish in various shades and nail files! I also dug into my BlogHer ’12 swag and handed out some other nail accessories.
Another favorite thing I found at BlogHer ’12 were these Energizer flameless candles! They smell so delicious and I don’t have to worry about them around the kids {a bonus in my book!}.
Not to be outdone with the great gifts, there was also great food!
And then my camera was stolen and the good times were captured!
Those pictures would not have been possible if it wasn’t for some great wine!
We will be definitely having another Favorite Things party next year {and possibly sooner!}. It was so much fun to just hang around with friends, eating some yummy food, and walking away with some great gifts!
A huge thank you to Energizer for sending some of their awesome flameless candles and to Mirassou Winery for supplying the wine for our party!
That looks like a terrific time! I wonder what I would give out at a Favorite Things party? Probably some nifty little kitchen accessories since I love to cook.
Absolutely love this!! I may have to try this with my MOMS Club friends next year!!
Oh that looks like a blast and something that would be easy to put together. I love the pics, of course with my group of friends we act like that without drinking lol.
This looks like fun! I love what people brought – I would probably give out sharpie markers – the big multi-color packs. I looooove Sharpies.
What a great idea, definitely going to remember this!
This is such a CRAZY GOOD IDEA!! I love it – think I’m going to host one next year 🙂
What a fun idea! Love the concept – and it looks like you all had tons of fun! 🙂
I planned to do a similar party during my birthday month but I had too many things on the calendar. Your party seemed like so much fun that I am absolutely scheduling it!!! Thanks and I will definitely have wine:)
I think that is such a great idea for a party. I may have to try that next year.
That looks like a blast! And Mirassou? Lucky gals!
Cute idea!
