This week the deal of the week is the 7 Color changing Votive Candle!!!
The DEAL OF THE WEEK will update every Thursday and will be a HOT and TIMELY PRODUCT that will be offered at ridiculous prices. Inventory will usually be substantial, but at these prices they will move fast. Our warehouse inventory gets updated hourly which means that though you might be able to put it in your cart, it may not be available when our warehouse system pulls the order. Moral to this is: LOOK (and buy) early.
This question comes up more then you might think: Why host a party? Why go through the trouble and expense just to have people over to eat your food, drink you refreshments, and dirty up your house?
The simple answer is that being social and having a group of friends will benefit you down the line when you’re looking for companionship, help on some issue, or even when you’re bored on a Saturday night and there’s no good movies on.
Getting past the deeper meaning you should host a party to keep the party stores in business… Just kidding, parties are great ways for people to let off steam and relax. It allows an opportunity to be with people they enjoy to celebrate an occasion.
For many of us, who have become to busy with work or family functions, throwing a party is one of the few times we have to see our friends. All to often we fall out of touch with people that were integrel to our High School, College, or 20’s lives. Those that saw us at our worst and cheered us at our best. This is serious though, too often people don’t realize what friendship means.
But the main reason to throw a party is simply that if you don’t do it who will?
In just over a week from today Barack Hussein Obama will be inaugurated as this country’s 44th President. Hopefully starting a revitalization of not only our economy but in the way politics are handeled. Whether that’s true or now we do know that there are going to be a ton of FANTASTIC Obama parties out there. Forget the John Doe clubs, America now has the Obama clubs. So whether you’re planning an inauguration party, fiesta, or even just a gathering with you mishpucha make sure you have what you need to make it a SUCCESS!
He is more then just another American elected to lead the people. He has become a rallying point for the country. A true leader for us to look towards to get us out of the rut we are in. Whether you believe in his “spend our way out of this recession” or not, you know that if the plate gets passed around, he’ll be the first to pitch in.
At dinner tables across the country people have started talking again not solely about what they can do for themselves but rather in the true sentiment of President Kennedy, what we can do for eachother.
Christmas, Chanukhah, and even Ramadan have quickly approached this year. You’re probably getting ready for Turkey and Ham, Latkas and Brisket, or some freekeh and falafel (seriously I’m hungry just writing these all down). But the real question is do you have all the paper goods you need?
Really think about it, do you want to spend the entire next day cleaning dishes and loading the washer? Wouldn’t you rather have festive plates, bowls, knifes and forks and then simply dispose of them?

Are you a Chanukhah fan? You like playing dreidel? Lighting the Menorah? Then how about our Hanukah plates.
By the way if you’ve ever wondered why Chanukhah is spelled so many different ways its because its a Hebrew word transliterated into English, and unfortunately there’s no standard for Hebrew-English translations.
Christmas more your thing? Enjoy Rocking Around the Christmas Tree? Listening to the story of Cindy Lou Who? Well then we’ve got the plates for you! How about:
A date which will go down in American history as a turning point for our country. Whether you are a Republican or Democrat we can all undoubtedly agree that this is an amazing event.
If you’re like me you weren’t invited to any Inaugural Balls, but maybe you plan on being home watching the event? Maybe you’ll want to have others over to watch history being made. Or maybe you simply like throwing parties. Whatever your inclination might be Windy City Novelties has some of the best items to help you throw a spectacular Inauguration Party.
George Washington was inaugurated as president on April 30, 1789!
Thomas Jefferson was the first president inaugurated in Washington DC
John Q. Adams used a book of US laws instead of the bible to swear upon.
Chief Justice John Marshall presided over 9 inaugurations
Woodrow Wilson, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan were sworn in 2x, once privately and then publicly
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only, and will never be matched due to new term limitations, President to be sworn in 4 times
Lyndon Johnson was the only President sworn in on a plane, hopefully never to be repeated
The book of Psalms contains the most quoted Bible passages at inaugurations.
You can even put these fun facts, or just about anything else you want on one of our banners. Check out this version of our customizable banner in patriotic colors.
If you’re planning a dinner party, or cocktails then you’re definitely going to want some of our Patriotic centerpieces
Patriotic Centerpieces help make any dinner party into an Obama party
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”

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.

I’ve been asked how our prices are so low in comparison to local party shops and other online retailers. While there are lots of answers to this question I’ll stick to the main points:
We buy in bulk, now when I say bulk I mean by the container loads, you know those big semi-trailers driving down the highway, there’s a good chance they’re coming to us.
We have a lower overhead then traditional party stores since they have to maintain a high rent in a retail market. They also have to worry about items being stolen from their stores.
Volume selling, if you notice most of our items are packaged by the dozen, 2 dozen, or gross, this allows us to reduce the price to the consumer while still inking out a profit. Many times our dozen price is the same that a party store would charge you for 3 or 4 of the item (seriously go check).
The next question is always: What about your quality? Do you sacrifice it to give us lower prices?
NO. We don’t, this is a family run business and we sell to families. If an item comes in that we don’t think we would have at one of our own birthday parties or celebrations then it doesn’t even make it into our warehouse simple as that.
That being said we do sometimes sell these substandard items in our CLOSEOUT section or the Some Do Some Don’t section, both of which clearly state what the reason is for the firesale on the items.
I’m a sloppy drinker, I can admit it. Wheter it be a water bottle or a nice cold Coors Light, I always seem to get more on the table and my shirt then in my mouth. I attribute this problem to the slippery nature when a bottle is placed on a table, and my inability to see what I’m drinking when relaxing outside at night.
What if there was something that would be anti-skid and illuminate the drink…. WAIT THERE IS and its called a Sticky Bottom. That’s right the Sticky Bottom was designed to not only act as a high friction coaster, ensuring that your bottle stays where you put it, but also to illuminate the entire drink using several high powered LED’s!!! The result is a cool looking drink that draws attention not only for the drinker but to the drink itself.
Don’t believe me at how cool these are? Watch this youtube video below that actively demonstrates it.

Glow Martini Glasses are a great way to dress up your Cocktail event while still keeping it fun and lively!
Simply Activate and then fill with your favorite concoction, my poison of choice is a Gibson made with Stoli or Kettle One (a very under appreciated vodka). Don’t get me wrong Grey Goose and the likes are fantastic, but not every occasion calls for that level when another almost as great, and a heck of a lot cheaper, will do the job!
Anyways back to the Glowing Martini Glasses, they Glow for 6-8 hours and come in a variety of colors, each with a black stem base. To learn how to activate a Glowing Martini Glass view our article here on Glow Cups
