Slipper Contest and Girlfriend Charity Party Prep

I thought I would share some of my girlfriend party preparations with you today.  Maybe it will inspire you by seeing my, gifts, prizes etc. to think of someone special in your life to gift.

This was our last girlfriend party before Covid.  We all wore cute Christmas Cocktail pj pants and each of our tribes made their own shirts to match the pants. 
My tribe of friends in the pic all wore hot pink letter shirts that say "Girls that Give" wink wink!  meaning giving to charities for all of you that went the other way with that saying lol!  Diana made these up for each of us.

This year we are going to be having a slipper contest.  We all know that you must wear comfy clothes and slippers at the girlfriend party.
I challenged all the girls to wear the cutest and comfy slippers.  The winner will receive a very nice prize for the cutest slippers.

This is the slippers I will be wearing to the party.  Are they not the cutest?!!  I ordered these on Etsy.  Here is her site.  I do not get compensated for these slippers just like to show the small businesses that I am purchasing from this year.

They come in all these cute colors.  She makes the cutest slippers.  I will try to remember to take pics of all the girls slippers at the party to share with all of you.

These were on Oprah's Favorite list for the best slippers.  You put them in the microwave for 60 seconds and then you have warm and the sweet scent of lavender your feet. 

I tied them off in a clear cello bag and ribbon. 
This will be awarded for the person with the cutest slippers at the party.

Now I will share with you the making of my party favors for each girl.  These would make a great gift for a teacher, neighbor or your own sweet girlfriends.
You start with these cute to go coffee cups I found at HomeGoods and then I got a $5 gift card from starbucks to add to the cups.

 I took the cute cups and added the Starbucks gift cards.

Then I took these cute gift tags also found at HomeGoods to tie off each bag.

Remember the She Shed Living calendars that my she shed was featured.  I am adding the desk size into each favor bag for my girlfriends.

I found these cute fast flats on Ebay from a store that was going out of business.  They sold me these cute fast flats for a $1 a pair.  Score!!!!

They come with a sweet little gold wristlet.  You can easily slip them in your purse or glove box of your car. 

This way you always have them to change out of heels or boots. 
They are great for weddings to kick off those high heels and dance the night away.

I tied off the starbucks cups and calendar and flats into cello bags.

Each girl will receive one of these sweet favor bags from me to take home.  Made these gift bags for each of the girls for less $10.

Besides the tags I also found these cute gift card gift boxes.  Another find at HomeGoods. 
I will be using these for personal gift cards I am giving this Christmas to girlfriends and family. 
As my 5 year old granddaughter Charlotte says when I pull into HomeGoods or TJ Maxx "Oh MiMi we are going to your happy place!!!"  I tell her yep that is right!!!!   

Gotta love HomeGoods and TJ Maxx.

I also am starting to put together prizes for games we play.  I will be sharing more of those and the games in the next post. 

This prize I have done and wanted to show you. 

 Again found at HomeGoods.  These are cup cozy's with a little fun twist.  They have hand sleeves to keep your hand warm while holding your hot drink in the cozy.

Genius I say to this cute cozy!  I made up three of these along with Starbucks gift cards.

This is where I am so far with preparations for the girlfriend party.  Stay tuned I will share some of the really unique gifts for the bigger prizes in my next post.

Just wanted you all to know I am alive and well.  Just have been very busy with family things and preps for my upcoming party.

I am also on the hunt for wallpaper to do the one kitchen wall and soffits in my kitchen.  I am having a hard time finding exactly what I want.  I swear wallpaper is as hard to find as the perfect rug!
I need something with texture and print for my farmhouse kitchen.
ON THE HUNT!!
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
