Girlfriend Charity Party 2024

 




A lot of you know that have been following my blog that I have a girlfriend party each year.  It started about 20 years ago and it has grown.  Now my two grown daughters have sweet friends that join the group.  It is a night of fun, lots of good food, laughs and sharing of our friendships.

I thought I would share some of the favors and prizes I have made for the party in February.
I do it now in February when it is past the holidays and everyone is bored with the winter months.

The theme this year is Glamorous.
Everyone is going to dress up in their prettiest 
sparkliest earrings, shirts, shoes, slippers etc.

So to enhance the theme I found these glamour gold sparkle ornament high heels at Hobby Lobby.  They came two to a box.







I found this curly gold sparkle ribbon at TJ Maxx during Christmas.  Perfect to tie off the favors.

I also found these cute glamour lip glosses at TJ Maxx. They came 4 to a box for $3.99. Score!!!

They fit perfectly down in the high heel ornaments.




Then I found these gold purse boxes that have chocolate high heels in them with salted caramel centers.  Yum!








I tied the gold purses with chocolate salted caramel high heels with the gold sparkly heels and lip glosses.  Favors done.  The best part is each favor was less than $8.  Gotta love Hobby Lobby , TJ Maxx and HomeGoods.





I found these cute manicure kits at..... you guest it TJ Maxx.  They were $3.99 and $4.99 each.  Super cute and inexpensive for prizes.


I also found these glamour nail polishes in pretty colors for $5.99 at TJ Maxx.


I combined them together and tied them off for a nice prize.

Not bad for less than $10 dollars I have a nice prize.

This is another cute prize I found at HomeGoods.  It is an organizer with a accordion envelope and post its and memo pads.




Super cute for a prize



I tied it off with ribbon.  These were each $4.99.  Score again at Home Goods.  




I also found these cute cute wine glass markers.  OMG these are so adorable and fun.

"Sole Survivors". 

"Purse your lips".  These were found at HomeGoods for $2.99 for 6.  I love that they sit on top of your wine glass.  Makes them even more fun.


I found these cute spa robes for your wine bottles.  When Terry and I were in Michigan a couple of weekends ago there was a HomeGoods store and these were found there.


These are going to be centerpieces for the tables and also prizes.  Are they not the cutest little robes for gift giving your gal pals a bottle of wine.  Had to get them.  I have not seen these at any of my HomeGoods over here in Illinois yet,  but maybe soon.  I think they are coming out in the stores for Valentines Day.

You gotta love HomeGoods and TJ Maxx stores.  These are my two favorite places to shop.

This year I got all my girlfriend party needs and for great prices.

I hope if you have a girlfriend or two that needs an up coming gift and you will see if you can find some of what I found.

I cannot wait to get my girlfriends all together this year.  It is coming up fast.

I really do not like the winter months here in Illinois and cannot wait for Terry to retire so we can be snowbirds in the winter months and visit warmer destinations during the winter.

In the meantime I will have my girlfriend party to liven up these dreary winter days ahead.

Have a great week.
I have a renovation we are doing in the condo that I hope to share with you soon.
Hugs,
Kris
