How to Throw A Great Party

I absolutely love throwing parties. I think it’s a great way to spend time with people you care about and get in touch with people you may have not seen in a while. However, I know that not many people share my sentiment about throwing parties. Most people are lazy and would prefer to just show up at a party, eat, drink, have fun, and leave without having to worry about any clean-up or responsibilities. If you are one of those people, I will tell you that I used to be very much like you. I used to be like you, but I have changed and become a much better person. And the good news is that it is not too late for you to change either! Throwing parties and hosting your own gatherings is much more fulfilling and rewarding than just going to someone else’s place and taking advantage of their hard work. To help people like you figure out how to throw a party in your own home, apartment, dorm room, or other personal space, I put together a list of tips and advice that will be helpful to even the most novice party throwers. 

The first tip I have for you is to stop being worried about people coming over. Like, your bathroom does not need to be beautifully finished, nor your living room and kitchen completely spotless. I promise that, unless you are living in a complete pig-sty, your living space does not look as messy as you think it does. Most people will not even notice, and if people have a problem with your home or apartment; too bad! The important thing to remember is that people enjoy being invited over to a party by someone they like and will not care whatsoever about how your living space looks.

Another tip for you is to have really good food. Now if you don’t want to make things complicated in this area either, you certainly do not have to. Simply ordering something from a restaurant to have brought in is fine; you don’t have to cook an extravagant dinner with all the fixings to make people happy. Go to the store, buy some chips and some candy boxes, then order a few pizzas and call it a day! Some people enjoy getting real fancy and complicated in the food department, but I don’t really operate this way either. So for real, you can just go for it and get whatever the heck you want. People like free food no matter what! My one suggestion is that you don’t cook or prepare food yourself if you aren’t somewhat competent in making it. Serving up home-made food that tastes bad is a sure way to make things really awkward at your party.

A final tip I have for you is to ask for help! When the party's over, see if a couple of your close friends or family want to stick around for a few minutes and help clean up a little bit. Most people would be more than happy to do this for you! Just make sure to recycle appropriate items like candy boxes, pizza boxes, glass bottles, aluminum cans, etc. I wish you luck on your future party adventures and hope that things go well for you!

A Great Gift Idea for Candy Lovers

Finding the right gift for your loved ones can be a challenge sometimes. I know from personal experience that some people are just really hard to find gifts for. The real challenge comes into play when you are trying to stick to a tight budget while also looking for something that your friend or family member will surely love. There is a tough balance between how much money am I willing to spend on this person versus how satisfied I want them to be with their gift. If you’re like me, then you are always on the lookout for new gift ideas - that being said, it can still be very hard to find a gift that will consistently satisfy a lot of different people in the same way. Luckily for you, I think I’ve found something that most people will love, if they at all like candy!

So for this gift idea, I stumbled across these subscription boxes. Obviously there are a whole lot of subscription based gifts that you can find. Flowers, fruit baskets, coffee; you name it, there’s probably a subscription box for it. However, the one in particular that I think works very well for a gift is a subscription to candy boxes. Candy is great because almost everyone at least enjoys it. Better yet, most people absolutely love candy! Even though I’m a grown adult, I still enjoy receiving candy as a present just as much as I did when I was kid. I think part of this satisfaction is the philosophy that the best presents are the ones that people want but would not normally buy for themselves. Something like candy falls into this category very well, and I think that is why it’s such a good and successful gift idea for most people. Now I will run you through a couple of different options when it comes to subscription boxes so you can find the one that really fits the person you are buying for.

My personal favorite candy subscription box is one called SnackCrate. SnackCrate is my favorite because they allow you to explore candy and treats from all over the world. Ever wonder what kids in Turkey like to eat as a sweet treat? Well now you can find out with SnackCrate! Sending monthly candy boxes from all over the world, SnackCrate is assuredly one the most unique subscription boxes in the world. That’s what makes it one of my personal favorites. My friend once sent me a box of candy from Korea, and it was a really unique and interesting experience to try all sorts of sweets from a different country.

The next subscription box I am going to be talking about comes from a company that we all know of - Amazon. Yes, that is correct. Amazon has a candy box subscription service and it is surprisingly very high quality! It is available to order or subscribe to on their website and is a great way to send someone you love a box of delicious treats, candy, and other snacks that they will truly enjoy. Amazon’s boxes are really good because they can be customized quite a bit and cater to many different tastes and preferences. I hope this article is helpful for you finding the right gift to get for your family member or friend that you are having a hard time finding something for!
