UK Postal Strikes

Posted by: partytoo on: October 21, 2009

There is a lot in the news about the UK postal strikes, but there is nothing to worry about with any PartyToo.com or SantasElves.co.uk orders – we are sending everything using ParcelForce 48 hour delivery at no extra cost.

This year we are also offering free ParcelForce 48 hour delivery on all orders over £50 over the Christmas period.

Please visit our website and look at all of our new pre-filled Christmas stockings.  This year we have added more to all our ranges, so there is more choice and certainly something for everyone and every budget!

Free Princess and Pirate Party Printables

Posted by: partytoo on: June 22, 2009

Planning a party is always daunting, especially as themed party stationery can cost so much.  However, you can find a lot of free printables on the Internet to help you.  HP has a huge range of printables on their website which can be used with any printer.  

Princess Party Printables

If you are having a Princess party you can print out your handbag shaped invitations, game suggestions and party plan, party banners, cupcake flags, tiaras to cut out and decorate, a princess shoe to use as a table decoration, stars to go on top of wands, gem shaped stickers and even little cones that you can fill with sweets – how about our candy necklaces and bracelets, lovehearts and candy lipsticks!

All of the designs are in a pdf format and you can save them to your PC and use over and over again.

Pirate Party Printables

Of course there is something for the boys too with pirate printables!  There are special invites to print out, complete with envelopes, a yo ho ho banner, pirate hats, pirate eye patches in a range of colours, a pirate treasure chest you can use as a party bag (and fill with our chocolate gold coins), a fantastic galleon table decoration and a party planner with games and food suggestions too.

There are also circus, dinosaur, Hollywood and other party printables to choose from. 

85p Party Bags

85p Party Bag

85p Party Bag

We have always prided ourselves on the quality of our party bags.  Whatever the price, you get quality cellophane bags in whatever colour you would like, with a personalised greeting on the sticker.  We check every toy that goes into the bag so you won’t get any breakages and we don’t fill our bags with lots of sweets or a sad little balloon that won’t blow up!

Everyone is tightening their belts, so to recognise this we have introduced our 85p range of party bags, which we are currently growing.

At the moment there are two bags, one which contains ‘quiet toys’ including a board game, a pack of crayons and a puzzle book.  The other contains loud toys, including a glider, a mini monkey in a barrel game, a parachutist and a strip of stickers.  You still get to choose the colour of the bags and the wording on the sticker – and of course you get a free gift for the birthday child too.

Keep checking the site for more 85p party bags!

Summer Fairs and Fundraisers

Posted by: partytoo on: June 5, 2009

Did you know that we offer a 10% discount on all orders for schools, playgroups, after school groups, teams and fundraisers?

Summer fairs are a great way to raise funds for charities and schools and we have found that our filler toys are the best sellers, including polystyrene gliders, moody faces, sticky splatters and bouncing putty.  So why not look at our website and see if we can help you raise some money this summer!

Stick Em Up

Posted by: partytoo on: May 15, 2009

In the 1980’s in every playground stickers were swapped and often carefully placed in sticker albums or pencil cases.  You could often go to stationery shops and buy a square off the roll for 5p. 

Laser Sticker Album and Stickers

Laser Sticker Album and Stickers

The most sought after were the hologram laser stickers that shone a rainbow of colours, so imagine the excitement when we were able to source huge sheets (25×15cm) of hologram stickers and a 15×10 cm sticker album too. They come in a range of different themes, including ballet dancing teddy bears, under the sea,  space ships and stars and butterflies – at £1 this is a bargain and a great sticker starter kit.
Cat and Dog Sticker Strip

Cat and Dog Sticker Strip

We also have strips of shiny stickers featuring cats, dogs and farm animals for 20p. 
These make a great party bag gift, and why not follow on the theme with our kitten and puppy notepads.  Or our farm pencil.
We also have more stickers, including hologram sticker strips featuring 40 tiny stickers in either a transport, girlie, cute animals or festive themes at 40p.  Or there are 15p squares of stickers that come in a range of sea life designs
We also have some tiny nail stickers that are not only glittery, but glow in the dark too.  There are 50 stickers in all featuring little flowers and abstract designs which come in a variety of sizes to suit the nails.  Stick them onto a clean nail and if you want to keep them on for longer, then just apply a layer of clear nail varnish on them.  At 20p they are a great gift for a girly pampering party!

Hello There!

Posted by: partytoo on: May 8, 2009

Party Too is a small family business who specialise in filled party bags, Christmas stockings, pocket money toys and retro sweets.   This blog will contain details of all our new toys as well as party, craft and christmas ideas for all the family.

Due to high demand we have recently increased our stock of retro sweets and we have had so much fun deciding what to stock.  We hope that we now have something for all the family.  There are old fashioned British made boiled sweets (humbugs, sherbet lemons, acid drops), chews (fruit salad, black jacks, refreshers), lollies (traditional fruit, traffic light, drumstick, double lolly), jelly sweets (jelly bears, spiders, snakes, giant and sour cola bottles), gobstoppers (including giant sizes), bubblegum, space dust (Fizz Whizz), flying saucers  and everything else in between. 

There is certainly something for everyone and you can choose a selection rather than huge bags at a time.  We have also made up some sweet bags starting at 85p going up to a traditional mini suitcase jammed full of £10 worth of sweets.

Hello world!
