For all our younger fans out there, or those with children, Spring Break is fast approaching. And with that we here at The Party FAQ have a few suggestions on much needed items to help you make the most out of your fun:
First up are our Light Up Flip Flops, these things are awesome. Wear them at night and every time you step you create a magical light show. Or better yet if you’re an enterprising person buy a whole ton of them and sell them on the beach, and make a killing!
Next are our BRAND NEW Lighted glitter balls. These things are HOT! shake the ball and you’ll see the glitter spin around. Bounce the ball and you’ll get the glitter and BRIGHT LED’s illuminating not only the ball but off the glitter also. This feeble description doesn’t do it justice, they are extremely neat and addicting. So much so in fact that we’ll be creating a new youtube video on them.
Last but not least are our LED luminarias. Create a lighted path to your beach home or hotel with these great items. If you’re an arts and crafts family then you can decorate them as well!
Kiss me I’m Irish! At least for tonight I’ll be Irish, for tomorrow I might be out of sightish.
Oh St. Patrick’s day… Fun and merriment, a time when everyone claims to have descended from the green fields and moors of the fair island Ireland. And a perfect time for every one to host their own Patty’s day Party. Why go out and pay for overpriced beer, especially when they don’t even know how to make good corned beef and cabbage?!?
And if you do decide to have your own fun, do it right with decorations, banners and merriment. In fact in our next post we’ll even have a Do’s and Don’t’s of hosting your own St. Patrick’s Day Party.
In fact don’t forget to tell your friends and family about your party. The easiest way to do that is to make an obnoxiously large banner and hang it on your front lawn for all to see!
Out with the old and in with the New Year!! Well that applies to novelties as well. This year when you celebrate the ball dropping, do it in style with one of our festive 2009 New Years Glasses. We have tons to choose from, including our Silver Glitter Glasses, Gold Glitter Glasses, and even LIGHT UP GLASSES! They’re totally cool.
Looking for something else to really spice up your party and mark it as different compared to all the others? Well how bout light up balloons (we call them our Lumi-loons)
Today’s kids love CARS, and racing inspired parties! But whether they be a Porsche 911 turbo or Mom’s Volvo station wagon they still have to abide by safety laws! What better way to symbolize this then by putting an inflatable stop light in the middle of your next Daytona or NASCAR party!
Or if you want you can decorate your home in the ultimate of fan’s street signs, those of the cherished raceways and famous landmarks that define racing for what it is.
Lastly in this post if you love your car and love to make people smile when you drive by then this car decoration is the perfect fit for you.
Simply attach Rudolph’s nose and antlers to any car to make Santa’s sleigh look like a thing of the past. Now your Jetta or Ford Taurus can be delivering holiday gifts and cheer faster then you could sing “Silent Night”

Halloween is a fun time, as you can probably tell its a big time of the year for me (just look at all the posts related to it here) I love the fun nature of the holiday and the fact that everyone can act like a kid.
But… there are safe ways to play and not safe ways to play.
Putting a candle in a pumpkin and letting it burn through the night? NOT SAFE!
Walking around in a dark costume so that no one can see you? NOT SAFE
Luckily these are two dangers that can be easily avoided. For the pumpkin simply use one of our LED candles to illuminate it, they look like real candles and flicker like it too. And for the dark outfits, just bring a couple of glow sticks with you to make sure that you’re easily seen.
A few other safety notes:
only trick or treat in areas you are familiar with
never go off on your own
abide by your local rules regulating trick or treat hours
INSPECT ALL CANDY BEFORE EATING ANY
Have fun and don’t ruin the time for you or anyone else.
Halloween is coming sooner then anyone thought possible. And with that comes all the decorations that are sure to help celebrate the season. One of the coolest looking decorations is the luminaria, a type of illuminated paper bag that many people use to outline their front yard or walk way. The only problem with these have been that in the past people have used candles to illuminate them and they’ve caught on fire…
Well no more! Our luminaria packages all come with LED flicker candles, that way you get all the awesome look and feel of a real flame without any of the dangerous consequences.
What’s also a great treat is to have your children decorate the luminarias, it can even be a great cub scout / girl scout activity in that its simple, safe, and fun.

Ladies and gentlemen, no longer do you have to make tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to get Senators, and presidential hopefuls, McCain and Obama to appear at your next party or social gathering. I am happy to announce that you can have the rare pleasure of having both of them side by side in your home for the low low price of only $63.90 ($31.45 each).
How is this possible you ask? Well easily if you order from Windy City Novelties. While not picking partisan lines I can tell you that the 6′ tall Barak Obama and 5′8″ John McCain are both stand up men that you can’t help but want to prop up in front of all your friends.
Just imagine how you’ll be the talk of the town when you announce that not one, but both of the presidential candidates will be in your home or office indefinitely. Although for being in the public eye so much I’m surprised at how little they each have to say, literally nothing. And it looks like their smiles never leave their faces… Maybe they know something we don’t.
Not a political afficianado? Windy City Novelties has the perfect solution with tons of stand-ups ranging from Austin Powers™ to the Three Stooges™.
A small complaint: Halloween isn’t supposed to be about friendly ghosts or super heros. When I was younger it was a time to get the snot scared out of you. Haunted houses were the norm, and every time you rang a doorbell you didn’t know if the devil himself was going to come out and greet you.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I’M NOT GOING TO PUT OUR REALLY SCARY ITEMS ON THIS PAGE, THERE MIGHT BE SOME LITTLE ONES LOOKING AND I DON’T WANT TO BE BLAMED FOR NIGHTMARES (AT LEAST TILL OCTOBER 31).
Now that’s not to say that you can’t have cute cudly fun with the younger children out there, but at a minimum the outside of your house should look more like Nightmare on Elm Street instead of Barney’s slightly off, while still friendly, bad dream.

Who doesn’t love a flickering candle in a room? Whether it be on a dinner table for ambiance, or in a bedroom for romance there’s no denying the alluring affect a candle has. But there’s always the fear of a fire when leaving a candle unattended, or falling asleep while its lit.
Luminaria’s no longer have to be a decoration to fear and dread, LED candles make them as beautiful and safe as anything.
But that doesn’t have to be the case. Now you can have all the bennefits of a flickering candle without any of the hassle of cleaning wax, finding matches, or the worries that come with it.
Another great thing about LED candles is that they last virtually forever, all you need to do is periodically change the batteries.
If you run a restaurant that normally puts out tea lights then our new LED tea lights are a must for you, you may even qualify for a reduction in your liability insurance.
There are several different patterns for paper flat wear and place settings from pumpkins, to skulls, to a playful devil. Don’t forget the tablecloths, plastic silverware, napkins and cups to match!
Decorations are key to throwing a theme party. We’ve got all you need to set the scene and transform any room into Halloween town. A great way to change any boring room into a Halloween Haven is with our Scene Setters.
Pick from our array of table confetti, table skirts, hanging spiders, dangling lights in ghost, pumpkin, or spider shapes. There are even wall hangings to easily tape up for an instant room transformation. Then jazz it up with stick on fake foot prints, safe and realistic battery operated tea lights… best of all, these are all reusable!
