We always host an end of summer party, and love to plan tons of games for the kids and adults alike to participate. Over the years we have found that the most basic, and most traditional games go over best. Things like the three legged race, passing an egg on a spoon, and sack races get the guests ecstatic.

However, just last year I overheard a friend’s son ask his mother what kind of party ends without gift baggies. Of course she was mortified and I laughed it off. I mean it is a party for all ages, and that is just not common practice. So, I shrugged the idea of it off. That is until this year’s party was approaching. I felt confident that gift baggies were not appropriate at our style of party, but I did take a liking to the idea of prizes for the winners of the games.

Still, I wanted the prizes to be quality, so I brainstormed what is something that everyone in my family likes. Nothing came to mind, until I was online because my youngest son likes Esprit fashion and he had been asking for one of their school backpacks. All at once it dawned on me that I wore stuff from Esprit, as did everyone else in my family. So, I started to peruse their sale items and found a bunch of items just perfect to be handed out as gifts.

The party is not until next weekend, but I feel confident that these new additions from Esprit will go over well. In fact, much better than any silly gift baggie.
