shower with love
Amazon Product Description
With this companion to Throwing the Perfect Shower, party-givers will find fun ways to make pre-wedding and baby festivities even more fabulous. Here are 128 pages crammed-full of unique themes, games, and activities, as well as full-colour photographs that show exactly how to set up the party. Give the bride-to-be a Cookbook Shower, where everyone provides a favorite recipe. Then, mount them in a pretty personalised volume that she'll treasure forever. Host an Initial Shower for an expectant mom, where everything has to start with a designated letter--perhaps "P" for pink. Then the guests can wear polka dots, plaid, and paisley; bring presents such as pyjamas; and eat pasta and (cream) puffs. Every one of these ideas will enchant the guest of honour.

hippity hop
These rabbits live in a wonderful lair behind a tiny hill-top. There are sisters and brothers, nephews, cousins and a whole family. Every morning they wake up the sun, before it rises, and in the evening they eat star-sprinkles with warm milk using a silver spoon.
Here at In Good Company we love these little bunnies from Maileg, and we have a whole warren – including very very big ones! And just wait and see what we have in store for Christmas, so come back and have a peek November 1st!

funhouse
When throwing a party one of the places I always like to decorate is the bathroom. Think about it, just about everyone of your guests will visit the room sometime during the event, so you want to be sure it is party proof. Besides having some lots of loo paper, nice towels and soap, what about some fun? These mirror clings are sure to surprise everyone and bring a smile to their face whether it be at a kid's party or even a wedding!

got milk?
If any one who knows me, I love milk, and when asked do you take milk – my reply “Yes, half the cow please!” Though I think my husband is getting a bit tired of my desperate emails at 7pm to pick up milk on the way home from work! So I think I need to use this little creamer more often that way I can see when the milk has run dry and I know to do my own milk run…
Half Pint is an artfully blown and molded glass creamer that captures the comforting familiarity of a mini milk carton. Simple, elegant, whimsical - it’s a gem de la crème.

wedding chic
Amazon.com Product Description
When you imagine your wedding, what do you see?
Maybe you dream of exchanging vows before an intimate gathering of family and friends at sunset, followed by a chic and elegant dinner under the stars in balmy weather. You can practically see yourself at the altar, taste the cuisine, smell the gardenias, and feel the music playing when you join your guests to party at the reception.
But before your wedding comes together with all the romance and glamour you’ve imagined, you’ll need to make decisions about the details. Is your color scheme bold and rich or soft and ethereal? Will you be married in your mother’s garden at the end of a serpentine path or on an exotic beach with the ocean crashing in the background? Do you desire an elegant sit-down dinner or a fabulous cocktail party with a great DJ who keeps the party going late into the night?
With so many choices, it can be hard to decide where to begin. Now there’s no reason to get overwhelmed, because wedding designer extraordinaire Colin Cowie is by your side every step of the way. In Colin Cowie Wedding Chic, he shows how to weave a thread of style throughout your celebration, from determining the overall feeling and mood to the smallest and most personal details of the event.
Following inspirational introductions from Colin about every part of your celebration, each detail is captured with magnificent photographs: bouquets; ceremony décor; centerpieces; reception décor; food and drink; cakes; invitations, favors, and gifts; appearance for the bride, groom, and attendants; ritual and ceremony; and music and after-party.
Brimming with the kind of style that has made Colin the number one wedding planner in the world for celebrities, heads of state, and even royals, Wedding Chic finally gathers all of the options in one dazzling, easy-to-reference place. With photographs of more than 1,001 gorgeous details, it is simply the most comprehensive, varied, and beautiful resource a bride-to-be could ever wish for—one that is certain to make the wedding a celebration to remember forever.

ball pass
For a new take on the party game staple “pass the parcel” you have to get one of these balls. The Whimisical Wonderball is constructed using 90 meters of tightly packed brightly coloured crepe paper streamers and inside you will find lots of tiny prizes. So, by passing round the Whimsical Wonderball party guests will take turns to remove a layer and reveal, one by one, tiny treasures wrapped inside. 14 gifts enclosed in each parcel. Once the ball is unravelled there are 90 metres of cheerful streamers... a simple and fun idea based upon the American Indian tradition.
