A recent survey found that 40% of U.S. internet users bought items online several times per month -- and that statistic never rings truer than during December. But while you might have relied on online resources for holiday gift ideas, you may not be done shopping quite yet. Since 2020 is right around the corner, you might very well want to ring in the new year in style. And in order to throw an unforgettable New Year's Eve bash, you'll need to stock up on necessities. Here are some little gift ideas and party must-haves for bringing in the new year.

Lots of Lights

To make your home or event space look as festive as possible, you'll want to go all-out with your ambiance. Create a fun atmosphere and set the mood with loads of twinkle or fairy lights, votive candles, and LED party lights. These will help set the scene for the new year and instantly transform any room.

Sparkle and Confetti

You’ll want to bring in the new year with sparkle and shine. Opt for some tiny gifts like handheld confetti push poppers or some confetti-filled balloons for all your upcoming party needs. You might also want to get some star sparklers, which can be placed on top of any dessert to make the occasion seem even more special. There are also awesome sparklers that you can hold and bring outside to commemorate the start of a new year!

Party Hats or Headbands

What's a party without some celebratory headwear? Party hats are customary, of course, but there are also headbands with fun sayings. Regardless of the celebration, it’s always fun to accessorize with party favors!

Balloons, Garlands, and Banners

Another way to visually transform any space into Party Central is with balloons, garlands, and banners. Hang these garlands or banners on the fireplace mantel and over doorways, while placing balloons in tight corners and in the main foyer. There's no better way to celebrate than to make sure your home is set for a soiree.

Glasses and Bubbly

Of course, you'll need to toast to the new year! Although champagne is traditional, you don't have to drink alcohol to have a great start to 2020. Sparkling juice, homemade punch, or anything carbonated can work just as well. Provide some special glasses for your guests, too. You might even think about personalizing them or investing in some extras for them to take home with them as tiny gifts to remember your party.

Whether you're rushing to get ready for the new year or you're planning ahead for next year, these tiny gifts and decor ideas will help set the stage for any celebration. For more information, please contact us today.
