Novelties Direct Blog

With the sudden onset of cold weather it is a reminder that Christmas is just around the corner and we love to know if you have finished or only just begun your Christmas Shopping and whether or not you put up loads of Decorations at home or at your workplace. I have just about about got myself almost organised but still have more presents to buy. Please share with us any last minute Christmas Shopping stories you may have 

We are now in and settled into our new office and warehouse and everything is taking shape. I love the feeling of being organised and seeing all of our Party Novelties in the right place where they should be and the Party Supplies labelled and in order. Please share with us if you are organised at work or at home or if you work in a mess but know where everything is!  

This week we are busy packing up our Offices and Warehouse with all of our Products as we are moving. This has led to lots of conversations about how at various times we have all moved house and how we organised ourselves and we love to know your experiences of moving either homes or offices and if you have any tips for us.

Today we are talking about how much fun Beyonce's new video Party is. She is seen wearing various bikinis and hot pants as she gets ready to host a fab Party for friends. We would love to know if you are a Beyonce fan and if you like her new Video.

Today I am talking about the start of the Christmas Countdown of how many Shopping Days there are left and how I always think I am organised but it never quite works out as planned. The biggest rush always seems to be to get the new Fad Toy thats out and Sixty per cent of Toys are bought between now and Christmas. Please let us know if you are organised and if you have started your Christmas Shopping yet.

Having had a great time last week going to the Theatre to see Priscilla Queen Of The Desert I have been talking about what a great show it is and how I would highly reccommend it. It contained excellent music and funny one-liners as well as Elaborate Costumes and Wigs and seeing how much the audience embrace the show wearing Feather Boas and singing along added to the fun and the atmosphere. I would love to know if you have been to the Theatre recently and which shows you would reccommend.

Today I have been thinking about how much I love this time of year and particularly Guy Fawkes (even though its cold) I still enjoy the atmosphere of dressing up warm and seeing Firework Displays and I especially used to enjoy taking my kids when they were younger  to see Fireworks either at a display or getting together with friends and having Fireworks in the garden. I would love to know if you are celebrating Guy Fawkes this year and whether you prefer Fireworks At Home or going to an Organised Display.

We have been talking today about the showing on Sunday Night of Kim Kardashians  Wedding and how excited my daughter is to see it. The show previews look great with stunning Decorations and Outfits. We would love to know if you will be watching and what you think of it.

Having seen a photograph in today's newspaper of Suri Cruise out with her mum Katie Holmes all dressed up in a Fancy Dress Costume I have been remembering how my children used to want to choose their own clohes and how they always wanted to Dress Up in their favourite Costumes. We have also been discussing in the office how young children are when they want to decide what to wear. Please join our discussion and let us know how young your children are or were when they starting choosing their clothes in the morning and if they insisted on wearing Fancy Dress on a day out.

Even though we are having beautiful October weather Halloween will soon be upon us. My kids are now starting to talk about what to do this year as well as what Fancy Dress Costumes to wear and Decorations to put up which is always an exciting time in my house. We would love to know if you are starting to think about Halloween and what you do and if you get as excited as your kids.
