Thirty-One Party

Last night one of my best girlfriends hosted a Thirty-One party at her house.

I had never been to one before but I am always up for wine, appetizers, shopping, and girl time so I decided to give it a Go!

It was really fun and their products are really practical for everyday use. With Christmas quickly approaching, I thought this would be a good way to get some of my Christmas shopping done for those special ladies in my life :)

They have a lot of organizational totes, purses/wallets, cosmetic bags, baskets, and other household items. The company was started by a stay-at-home mom who is now making some serious BANK!! They have some really cute prints in each item to chose from. Another cool thing about their products is that you can get ANY product they have monogrammed.

Here are a few examples:

Thermal Lunch/Picnic Totes (these were my one of my favorites...We all need a cute work lunch bag!)

Magazine baskets (or like the picture shows, anything else can go in them)

I have to admit, I was never much of a fan of these type of parties where you feel pressured to buy a certain amount, but I liked this one. Other than going to the gym every night and running a few errands after work, I don't really go out on weeknights. This was such a fun way to get a group of girls together out of the house to gossip, laugh, and have a good time!

I did get some Christmas shopping done but I can't share what I got because my family & friends read my blog... (did you really think I was going to spill the beans Natasha?! )

Speaking of gifts...... I NEED SOME GIFT ADVICE! 

My cousin Natasha and I are doing a gift exchange thru the mail since she lives in Denver, CO and won't be able to come home for the holidays.

We decided we would put some gifts together in a box/bag and mail them to eachother so that we can open them up on Christmas even if we aren't together! I already have some gifts that I am putting in hers but would love to hear of any cool trendy gifts you would recommend!! sooo please start sending SUGGESTIONS!! I know you all know of some great girly gifts! :) :)

and I almost forgot...it's FRIDAY!!!! The hubby and I are going out to dinner and to the Columbus Zoo tomorrow night with a bunch of couples and I am really looking forward to it! Every year the Zoo decorates all of their trees and buildings with Christmas lights! It is absolutely gorgeous! We are supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow too so that will make it even more pretty. I will be sure to post pictures after! 

Have a great weekend!!!
