A New Year’s bash is one of the easier parties to throw. Everyone’s already in the merry-making mood, so it’s a simple matter of setting the stage.
You can do that with decor, food, beverages and music, but it’s also nice to offer a party favor that guests can take home as a token of a special evening.
For a clever collection of party favors that can be customized, look to creative gift maven Judy Walker of Seattle, at the website TopsMalibu.com.
A sparkler in the shape of numbers and letters makes a fun way to toast that doesn’t involve drinks; simply touch your sparkler to the one next to you. If you’d like to get silly, buy some Poof Balls — packets of tubes and colorful paper balls like old-fashioned peashooters.
