Party Box by Design

There’s not been much time for elfing around here recently as my little elves have been super busy getting ready for the festive season! We all know Christmas may look a little different this year but it’s such an exciting time for children.  We need to make it special for the little ones, whatever’s going on in the world. With that in mind, I’ve put together some bright, colourful, and fun Christmas party boxes for little kids, and big kids, to enjoy. Whether it’s for the big day itself, a pre-Christmas party at home or to brighten up a rainy afternoon in December, my boxes will get the party started!…

Here are my tops tips for celebrating Halloween at home this year. Structure your celebration It doesn’t matter if things don’t run exactly to…

The look of terror on Julia’s face says it all as she realises the party is going to involve a lot more time and effort than she had planned to put in and a lot of judgement from the other parents! But I’m here to reassure you that firstly, party planning these days can be done by ordering from a few…

You’ve chosen your party theme, the invites have been sent, the tableware and decor purchased, and you now turn your attention to what happens when everyone is at the party. Activities for parties taking place at home can be challenging, especially in these strange times we find ourselves living through. Wouldn’t it be great if you could order everything you needed to provide a fun activity and have it delivered to your door, just like you can with our tableware party box? Let us introduce you to a company that recently caught our eye, who is providing exactly that. Littlehandskeptbusy started as a blog with lots of fun, simple, educational,…
