Click here to read the full article.

Is it just us, or have kids party supplies gotten beyond chic lately? In fact, 2020’s crop is so cute, we might just start using them for our grown-up events, too. So we rounded up some fun party products that you can reuse for just that: your own birthday party, spring soirée (if the season ever gets here), or even just a particularly fancy weekend meal. We searched high and low for the coolest and cutest new items: innovations such as instant balloons (no more blowing them up!), eco-friendly glitter (it’s biodegradable!), magical unicorns (from Martha Stewart!), sparkly party headbands, and more are included in this handy roundup for your perusal — and for all your party-planning needs.

So click on through and stock up on adorable supplies for your upcoming kids’ party; then, pack those cuties up and reuse them for your own fête. Because not all kids’ parties have to be filled with garish cartoons or generic-looking themes. These days, you can delight all ages with a sparkly-chic photo backdrop or a trendy piñata. Happy party planning!

Instant balloons

Admit it: Balloons can be a bummer. Helium is expensive, transporting balloons is cumbersome, and blowing them up yourself is tiring and can feel like it takes forever. Enter Bunch O Balloons’ newest product: The Party Balloons pump can inflate 40 balloons at once — they’re even pre-tied and come with strings attached. And the reusable balloons self-seal! The starter pack comes with 16 balloons and an electric pump (plus adapters and hose).

Eco-friendly glitter

Biodegradable glitter is plastic-free and so much better for kids’ parties and crafts than traditional glitter. This “bioglitter” is made from eucalyptus cellulose core, which means it’s softer and can biodegrade in as little as 30 days. It has FDA approval for use on skin, too! Now your kid’s party residue doesn’t have to live forever in your lawn (and your carpet, your car, your dog’s fur…).
