Top 5 Gifts at Uncommon Goods for People Who Like to Throw Parties

 Chatting with a friend the other day about places we like to shop she mentioned Uncommon Goods, http://www.uncommongoods.com/  as one of the places she visits regularly when looking for the perfect gift.  To be honest I hadn't visited Uncommon Goods site in awhile and WOW! I can see why it's a go to site for gifts.   I really like that they work with artists and small manufacturers.  Several of my friends are artists so I know the value of supporting their trades.

Here's my Top 5 Gifts for people who like to throw parties.  Whether you're the one throwing the parties or you need a hostess gift for someone in your life, like me ;), who likes throwing parties, these gifts can't miss.

1. Macaron Kit 
The DIY kit section here  is every hobby enthusiasts dream.  From cheese making, to sushi making to brewing kits and more.  I'd never run out of party ideas shopping this section.  Every weekend, ok, every other weekend, don't want to burn my friends out, I could host a DIY party.  Since I love to bake I'd start with the macaron kit, My friend and I tried making macarons once before but we didn't have this great kit to make it easier.  I think I need to host another macaron making party.

2. Cheese Boards
Fall is here and that means cheese and wine parties.  What a great way to spend time catching up your girl-friends.  There are some beautiful cheese boards to be found.  Not only are these great for gifts for yourself but they are perfect for hostess gifts.  Cheese boards are one of those things that people who throw parties always have on their wish list but just never seem to buy.

 3. Lightbox
I love light boxes for parties and when the party is over you can use them as decor. They are SO hot right now.   Fun for teens, friends and hostess gifts.
More birthday gifts can be found here

 4.  Smartphone Instant Photolab
Tech gadgets are almost always associated with men, and while there's a great men's gift section, here  I say women love tech toys too.  How fun is this Smartphone Instant Photolab for parties. Set up a fun backdrop, snap some silly pics and boom! you can send your friends home with a party souvenir. I have a feeling your friends will want to snap more pics at your party just so they can use this fun tech toy.

5. Can't forget the kiddo's
While I don't have kids, many of my friends do and they can't always leave them at home to attend my parties.  Here's where the kids gift section comes in handy. Loads of fun gifts for all ages can be found here.  I love these animal temporary tattoos. They're so bright and colourful and if you have several kids over they can make up little stories with them and entertain themselves for hours so mom can enjoy time with the adults.

Ready to check out and nab a hostess gift?  A super cool thing about Uncommon Goods is at check out you can select a non-profit to receive a $1.00 donation.  Uncommon Goods has donated $1 million dollars since they started this program in 2001.  Pretty cool.

Gift Giving

It's Christmas in January for some  Little Fizzy's 

 Fizzy Party Facebook has reached 716 !!! And I want to thank some little fizzy's. Really I would love to thank you ALL but I haven't won the lottery and a business isn't sponsoring this. It's just little 'ol me. And sadly, I'm not made of money and I haven't found the magic money tree. 

Let's get all the unfun legal stuff out of the way first. This isn't a sweepstakes or a giveaway it's just me giving gifts. Here's why I'm not doing a contest, giveaway or sweepstakes: Blog Law. More Blog Laws. Too much of a headache and hassle sadly. 

The FUN part: I'm gifting 5 gifts. What are they? shhh, it's a surprise. But I can tell you it's party related. Of course :) 


The rules 
Since this is a gift there is no purchase necessary. 
You must be 18 years of age.
United States residents only. Sorry, shipping is expensive outside the U.S. 
Void where prohibited by law. (although I don't know of any laws for gift giving but as with the U.S. res. only this is a CYA)

The Gift giving starts on Monday, January 14, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. Pacific time.
So set a reminder, an alarm, something to remind you to come to this post on Monday, January 14, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. pacific time. 

Entry: The first 5 people to leave a comment telling me 1.what you like about Fizzy Party 2. what you'd like to see more of and 3. What you'd contribute if invited to guest blog will receive a gift. See why the alarm or reminder is so important. You want to be sure you're one of the first 5 people. 

I will contact the first 5 people on the evening of Monday, January 14, 2013. Those 5 people have until Friday, January 18, 2013 to respond or I go to comment 6, 7, 8 etc. 

Thank you for all of your support. Even if you're not one of the first 5, I would love to hear from you. 

Any comments before 7 p.m. on Monday, January 14th will be void. 


***Update. We have our 5 comments :) *** You can still leave comments. I read each and everyone of them. Your comment just won't be part of the gift giving.
