ORDER TODAY
Florida Hurricane -  $9.99


You, too, can experience a hurricane! (in a glass). Four drink mixes with recipe for alcohol and nonalcoholic drink, along with 5 palm tree stirrers all packaged in a colorful hurricane glass. For the real experience of the Florida Hurricane, do the following:
Get a gas can and thumb a ride to where you heard a rumor there might be gas. Hint - take cash, the ATM isn't working.

Fill your generator with gas so you can plug in your blender. (You may have to unplug the TV while you run the blender.)

Blend all ingredients (except the ice, it melted 2 days ago) until smooth.

Slather on the mosquito repellent and go sit outside (not in the shade - your roof blew off and your trees are in your neighbor's living room.)

Share with thirsty neighbors - it's a good way to apologize for the trees!

While the above gift may be fun and perhaps relate a little humor, the destruction of Hurricane Charley and Frances that hit the state of Florida has been devastating. Many people have lost their businesses, homes, and some even their lives. Being located in Florida, we would like to thank the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, and the many states who have sent relief workers to help us. It will take years for some to overcome the destruction of these hurricanes. 15% of the proceeds from the sale of this gift will be donated to the Hurricane Relief Fund.

For you Muggle moms and dads without an ounce of wizarding wit, planning a Harry Potter party doesn't necessarily require a cauldron of special effects. Just step into the world of magic and make-believe! You conjure up the wizards and we will help you make your own Hogwarts Hall like magic.

You can play Harry Potter's favorite game, Quidditch, with a few variations of course, by providing the kids with a ball, some broomsticks, and a large area to play in. Divide the group into two teams, set up two goals on either side of the yard, and have the kids try to brush the ball over their own goal line.

Give them a lesson in Transformation Class by making Magic Milk!
Pour some whole milk in a pie pan and allow milk to warm to room temperature. Place a few drops of different colored food coloring into the pan of milk. Next, place a few drops of liquid soap into the pan of milk. The soap will break down the fat in the milk and cause the food coloring to swirl into some tye-dyelike designs.

Don't forget dining, Howarts style, all it takes is a little imagination!
Cockroach Clusters

2 ounces of chocolate chips
1 cups raisins
2 cups thin pretzel sticks, broken into 1-inch pieces

Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes; stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second increments until chocolate is almost melted. Remove from microwave.

This family's 100-year-plus recipe originates in Dumplin Valley, Tennessee. The Dumplin Valley Sauce recipe had been lost for 40 years. It was eventually found in a cigar box stashed away in a closet. Back then they were without the benefit of refrigeration and preserved meats needed a little "doctorin' up". This sauce soon became very popular, and so far we haven't met anyone who didn't like it. Try a bottle and you'll see what we mean.

Dumplin Valley - It's Not Just for Grilling!

Seafood Dip
1 Cup Dumplin Valley Sauce
2 tsp Horseradish
1 tsp Lemon Juice

Mix all ingredients and serve as a shrimp, cocktail, or other seafood dip.

Dumplin Valley BBQ Sauces

Father's Day is just around the corner. Help Dad feel like a Grand Champion with this award-winning sauce!

This sauce is the winner of many awards including the 2003 KCBS Florida State Champion.

Dumplin Valley sauce strikes a tangy groove between its mostly ketchup and slightly mustard base, along with an unmistakable splash of vinegar. Dumplin Valley Sauce is available in Mild and Spicy.

Nacho Dip
1 Cup Dumplin Valley Sauce
2 Lb. Velveeta Cheese, Cubed

Microwave on high until melted, stirring often.

January 1 - Happy New Year!

January 8 - Elvis Presley's Birthday!

January 15 - 1967 - The first Super Bowl was played. The Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chief's - 35-10.

January 18 - 1778 - Captain James Cook thought he was the first to discover a group of Pacific Islands. They are now known as the Hawaiian Islands.

January 24 - 1848 - James W. Marshall accidentally discovered gold while building a sawmill near Coloma, Ca., and the gold rush was under way!

 

 

Reasons to Celebrate in February !

Give your Valentine the royal treatment this Valentine's Day with our "Queen of it All" gift!

Let the playoffs begin! Whether you're watching from the stadium or from the couch, serve up some sandwiches or chips and dips on one of our BIG and sturdy football trays!

``xEpZuVuuVlplwtccyLB``x1073075780``x_Main``x``x``x``x``x``x70441028638870``x New Year's Eve - Las Vegas Style!``xwebmaster``x

When we typically think of dressing up for New Year's, we think a long slinky sequined dress and tuxes for the gentlemen. This New Year invite all of your guests to come dressed as their favorite "Las Vegas or casino" character! From cocktail servers, pit boss, showgirl, to the gladiators at Caesar's Palace, or the Blue Man Group!

Mix and match your New Year Decor with New Year and Casino Decor. Never underestimate the power of decorating with balloons, they can transform any size room into an amazing festive look in minutes at a very low cost. For a "big bang" this New Year celebration (if you don't mind the mess), add confetti to deflated balloons using a funnel. Blow up the balloons and tie a piece of curling ribbon to the end of each one. Using tape, or straight pins, hang balloons down from the ceiling so they hang at different lengths. A few minutes before midnight, hand out the pins and when the clock strikes 12, let your guests pop the balloons and let the confetti fly!! For a not-so-messy addition, try our balloon drop!

Derby Hat Centerpiece
Place a small hole in the middle of a plastic derby hat. Helium inflate 2 black and 2 red latex balloons with a mylar dice balloon and tie curling ribbon to each balloon. Place the ribbon through the hole of the hat and tie ribbon to a balloon weight. Arrange the hat on a square of green felt and place paper money, dice, poker chips, and cards around the hat on the table.

The Bidding Begins
 Instruct each of your guests to bring a wrapped "white elephant" gift; these are essentially useless or just plain silly. Upon their arrival, give your gamblers a large supply of chips and play money. They can earn more or less gambling for the night. At a designated quitting time, auction off the "white elephant" gifts that your gamblers can bid on with their winnings.

Activities
Our Roulette Wheel includes a 16" plastic wheel, felt layout that reverses to Blackjack, 120 chips, two balls, rake, and two decks of cards.

Card games of all sorts like Poker and Twenty One.

If you choose a family night, try some fun games like Crazy Eights, Checkers, Backgammon, UNO, or Bingo!

Of course, vests, derbies, and arm bands for all of the dealers!

Food
We recommend that you serve lots of "finger food," arranged on tables scattered throughout the room. Guests can eat or snack between games, and the festivities of the evening won't be disrupted.
You can choose multiple party dips from our Megan's Pantry Gourmet Food line!

Party Favors
Hats, noisemakers, and streamers for everyone!

To make a dozen of Madeline’s Devilish eggs, you will need six hard boiled eggs.

Peel eggs, slice in half, and scoop out the yolk. Mix the yolk with 1 tsp. prepared mustard and 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise. Mix ingredients together with a fork until smooth. Scoop mixture into each egg-white halves and top with paprika.

Refrigerate until meal time and serve cold.

There may be a young Matisse coming to your party and here’s a great way to find out. Purchase a large piece of white butcher paper from your local arts and crafts store.

At the top of the banner, write "Happy Birthday (your child’s name)." Mount the paper on a wall within easy reach of your guests. You can also lay the paper on the floor if you’re worried some of the artists may mistake your wall for their canvas.

Provide a variety of crayons, waterproof markers, stickers, etc. and let them create their own masterpieces. Have them finish by writing their name and age beside their drawing.

You can even encourage them to write a special message to the birthday child. After the party, fold it up and save it, or if you’d prefer, take a close-up picture and tuck it inside your photo album later.

Seat your guests in a circle. The birthday child thinks of a message that she thinks Madeline would want to tell her schoolmate, and then whispers it to the person on her left.

Expect the unexpected when you learn the original vs. the final mixed-up message. Try again with another player starting the message and continue until your guests are ready for a new activity.

Mardi Gras Party
With plenty of decor to choose from, we make decorating a snap. Consider greeting your guests in style with a large Jointed Jester Cutout on your door.

Strategically placed Comedy/Tragedy Faces Cutouts and Cascading Centerpiece add a great traditional touch as well.

Setting your table is a simple affair, too. Just drape it with a Purple Table Cover and top with Emerald Green, Purple, and Gold Plastic Tableware. Mardi Gras Coins make great "confetti" to scatter around the table, and long strands of Mardi Gras Beads provide the perfect finishing touch.

The best and perhaps most fun part of Mardi Gras has to be the costumes.

What you need:Green poster boardRed or pink poster boardWhite paperGlueScissorsFelt-tip pen To set up the game, draw a big frog on green poster board. It's easier than you think: just make a big oval head with eyes at the top and an hourglass-shaped body with pointy webbed feet at the bottom. Cut out the frog shape. Then cut out 2 large, white paper eyeballs and glue them in place. Draw on pupils, a mouth, and nostrils. From red or pink poster board, cut out a pair of lips for each princess and apply a small ball of poster tack (sold at most office supply stores) to the back. During the game, have each child shut her eyes tight, then point her in the right direction to try to pin her smooch on Mr. Frog. Continue taking turns until everyone succeeds. ``xEpFVEEZZEuJDxtWrfI``x1036247105``xDragon_Tales``x``x1``x``x``x``x77601028638702``x0 Princess and the Pea``xfamilyfun``xStart this game by telling the story "The Princess and the Pea."

(Move the ball after each turn while the current contestant is out of the room.)

Each woman guest was invited to grasp a handful of sand and let it sift through her fingers to find a precious gem left in her palm that was hers to take home.

To set up a similar game for your child's royal guests, get a shoe box filled with clean sand or white cornmeal and a few plastic rhinestones (sold in most craft stores) to bury in it.

Have the princesses take turns until each one has 2 gems.

You can make pendants by hot-gluing a paper clip between each pair of gems (adults only) and stringing silvery elastic cord through one of the clip's looped ends.

Blowing bubbles is an art in SpongeBob’s subterranean realm deep down in the Pacific Ocean, so give your guests a chance to have some fun with bubbles at your party.

Give a small container of bubble solution and a wand to each guest and let them have fun.

Award a prize for the largest bubble, most bubbles, most effort, etc. so that every guest gets recognition!

Let the birthday child begin the game as Squidward (SpongeBob’s cranky octopus neighbor). He or she stands in the middle of the ocean, while all other guests (Fish) line up at one end of the room.

The birthday child starts the game by crying out, “I am the Octopus, king of all motion. Let’s see if you can cross my ocean.” All the Fish then try to run across the ocean as Squidward tries to tag them. If tagged, Fish become Seaweed. Keeping one foot planted, Seaweed try to reach out and tag the Fish running by, turning those players into Seaweed too. If some Fish reach the other side, the Octopus and Seaweed say the chant and the crossing contest begins again. The game continues until all the Fish become Seaweed. The last Fish gets to be the new Octopus.

1/2 cup pink icing
Yellow mini jawbreakers
White and purple gumdrops
Pink Good & Plenty candies

Step 2:
Frost the castle and cones with the white icing, then sprinkle the cones with edible glitter and set them on the castle.
Step 3:

Step 5:
Finally, add the sprinkles around the top of the castle and top the cone turrets with flags cut from the colored paper and taped to the toothpicks. ``xEpFVEEZAAlTeuPXraL``x1035117998``xDisney_Princesses``xThey'll be climbing the castle walls to get to this royal cake.
``x``x1``x``x``x77601028638702``x0 Glittery Slipper Invitation``xfamilyfun``xFor a template, cut a cardboard high-heel shape (about 3 1/2 inches high and 6 inches long with a wide ankle opening).

For each invitation, fold a 7-inch square of white paper in half so that the crease is at the bottom. Set the template atop it so that the shoe bottom is lined up on the crease and trace around it. Cut out the tracing and use a glue stick to join all of the edges except for the ankle opening. Apply glue to the surface of each shoe and sprinkle on glitter.

With scrap paper, lightly blot the glitter to secure it. From pink card stock, cut out an L-shaped crew sock (about 4 1/2 inches wide by 5 inches tall) to fit inside the shoe. Trace around it to create a sock for each invitation.

For a finishing touch, glue lace to the top of each sock, and they're ready to deliver.

Simply purchase your child's favorite flavor of cake mix. Follow package instructions to prepare and bake in two round cake pans.

When cool, leave one layer whole and cut the second layer into five equal sections (like cutting a pie). These pieces will become Patrick's starfish legs. Place the first layer in the center of a large piece of cardboard covered with foil. Trim the curved edges of the starfish legs, so that they fit snugly against the round edge of the body piece. Arrange the legs neatly around the body of the starfish and attach with icing.

Frost with red or pink icing. Draw on Patrick's eyes, nose, etc. Decorate with colored sprinkles while the icing is still moist to give Patrick a spiny texture.

For fun, spread blue frosting on the tray to make it look like Patrick is in the water.

Not only is it a healthy snack, but it also makes a great centerpiece for your party table.

First, slice the bottom from of a whole pineapple, (about 1/4”) making a smooth horizontal cut so it is stable standing up by itself. Then, cut your child’s favorite fruits into bite-size chunks, making some thin and some thick. Use the pieces of fruit to make a door, windows, chimney, etc. Use toothpicks to attach them to the house. Place the pineapple in the center of the platter and arrange all the fruit pieces around the outside.

If you're feeling more ambitious, use the pieces of fruit and additional toothpicks to make some the lovable characters in Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob's underwater city. Try creating his simple starfish buddy Patrick, his sour next-door-neighbor Squidward (an octopus), or his thrill-seeking surfer-girl squirrel pal, Sandy Cheeks.

Instead of a goose chasing a duck, a shark chases a fish.

Gather all your little fishies and seat them in a circle. To start, designate a "Fish" to walk around the circle, tapping each guest on the head and calling each a fish. After several guests have been tapped, the "Fish" chooses one guest and yells out "Shark" when tapping him or her on the head. The Shark chases the Fish and tries to tag her as she races around the circle and back to the Shark’s spot. Repeat the game until each guest has had a chance to be the Shark.
