Totally simple, and totally awesome.
Why House Party Rocks
Ok, as a long-time member of HouseParty.com, I admit – the parties aren’t always as good as they used to be. If I could offer the brands that sponsor parties a word of advice, it would be to choose fewer hosts, and send those hosts bigger packages – instead of trying to send very bare-bones packages to a huge amount of people. It makes the hosts more excited to get a generous package that they feel good about inviting friends over to share, it makes them more likely to build buzz for your brand, and it just gives a positive vibe to a TON of people who received a sweet package from you. The whole point is to get people talking about you, spreading the word about new products, and building some great buzz for your brand, so you want to make sure the packages you send make people excited enough to do that. And…. One brand who clearly TOTALLY understands this is Fisher-Price – Check out the package that they sent us this weekend:
Fisher-Price Toddler House Party
Ok – this isn’t the greatest pic ever. We unloaded the GIANT box of free toys in the spare bedroom that’s still kind of a mess after my brother and the kids moved out – and it was getting late, which meant not a great amount of light. But neither Abby or I could wait until morning to check out this big ol’ package…. And ohmyHECK, we were not disappointed! Here’s what we received:
Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace: We had to open this one early to check it out – and Abby absolutely adores it. There’s a little gadget to set the princesses on, and then you turn it back and forth to make them dance – that’s Abby’s favorite part. And it recognizes each different princess character figure, making each one sing a different song. Love it.
Fisher-Price Servin’ Surprises Kitchen & Table: I am SO in love with this! Not only is it a super fun kitchen-themed play table, but it also can lose the accessories, and convert to a basic table for coloring and projects. Very cool. We also got 4 accessory packages to keep the play-food fun going…
Fisher-Price Servin’ Surprises Deluxe Tea Set: This is going to be a BIG hit with Abby too… She LOVES anything with teapots and cups, and sings the Little Teapot song all of the time. Now she can have some really awesome tea parties with this whole big set.
We still have one more shipment on the way, with all of the other goodie bag gear – Fisher Price coloring books, DVD’s, coupons, and more. So that if the kids find a new favorite while playing with this new fall line-up of fun toys, moms can save some bucks if they want to head out and purchase them too! Awesome, right?

I don’t know about you, but I was completely floored when I (well, when my boy) opened that huge box! I had no idea we would receive so much!! I’m looking forward to our party (that is actually going to be a week late :( ) and I can’t wait to see yours as well!!
My friend is having one this weekend and after seeing and reading about the toys, I am so sorry that my five year old won’t there, since we have plans out of town. But the good thing it is she will be able to play with them next week with my friend’s daughter.
