Sticky Bottoms ™

LED, light-up, party decorations, themed banner 1 Comment

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.

How to apply and turn on a Sticky Bottom

Tri colored sticky bottom

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.

Just type them up and slide them through any normal printer.

Personalized Banners, say it the way you want!

advertisment, banner, custom, themed banner, themed party No Comments


Whenever a birthday comes around I find that there are two types of banners:

  1. Plain old “Happy Birthday” and,
  2. The overused classic “Over the Hill”

But what if you wanted to say “Hey Brian it’s just a number like Uncle Mike always said”, or “Jen at least you’re always going to be 5 years older then me!” Or some other crazy personalized message. That’s where our Personalized Banners make all the difference.

At your local party store or grocery center you’re pretty much limited to the first two, with no way to say what you want unless you buy poster board and are REALLY artistic.

But now at Windy City Novelties you can choose from hundreds of pre-themed banners where you can put the exact message you want to convey. Among the most popular are themed banners for: Disco , Birthdays , and Patriotic

“Support our Troops”, “Elect Steven Colbert“, or even “Welcome home Jim, we’ve missed you!” And the best thing is that they’re printed on high quality vinyl, so they can be used once and kept as a keep sake or used hundreds of times over.

We even now make Personalized Door Banners so your guests can be greeted with the message as they enter the party.
