This year at Bubble London our friends at Poco Nido were showing for the first time. We popped down to the Business Design Center in Angel to give them a helping hand!

Poco Nido the new baby brand...........

Poco Nido the new Baby brand has now officially launched.

Poco Nido  is a little brand for little people. Founded by Catherine (my best friend!) a footwear designer for almost 14 years and proud mum of 2 little ones. Their aim is to create quality clothing and footwear in limited runs so you get functional and exclusive pieces that won't break the bank - and of course happy, cool kids in the process!

They have also just launched a limited edition collection of medal t-shirts perfect for the Olympic season! Make sure you check them out!

P.s Next week we will be launching a TFPBC and Poco Nido combo competition, make sure you bob back for more info!

We are sorry we have been away.............

We haven't blogged for almost 2 months now! I know, terrible, and we are sorry. Reason being the other Job as a footwear designer took me on a long trip to the far east and then our phone line and internet stopped working for almost a month!!! (ggggrrrrrr!) Anyway we are back and raring to go! I thought I'd share with you some pics of Hong Kong and some yummy food from Vietnam and China.

The Friendly Party Bag Co's Is Loving Shape Collage!

As you know we recently had a photo shoot with Elite Magazine.

We then fell upon the app Shape Collage we we think is fab! It so easy to use and produces gorgeous photo collage's which can be used for all sorts of things!

See below our Shape Collage using the snaps for the Elite Magazine photo shoot. 

For a family party we created a heart shape one of family pics throughout the decades. It definitely added a personal touch and brought many more smiles to the party! Why not try one at your next party!

 

The Friendly Party Bag Co's, Party Food Ideas.

We are always being asked what ideas we have up our sleeves for children's party food. 

See below a little inspiration board, a mix of naughty and nice, we hope it helps! 

Just a note we advise parents not to put sweets out at their party. If you are giving out our party bags during the party for the kids to play with as, we fill our bags with individual hand weighed candy striped sweetie bags (hot pink for girls, col bolt blue for boys!) filled with just the right amount of Haribo sweeties which contain no artificial nastiness, just to limit the amount of bouncing!! Have fun at your party! x

The Friendly Party Bag Co's little trip to L.A.

Sorry we missed you last week, the other job as a footwear designer took me to the city of Los Angeles.

I love LA, the weather, the chilled friendly people and of course the shopping!

Unfortunately time was short (and I'm rubbish in taking pics!), therefore not much party info to report on, however I did capture a few random pics...............

 

Gorgeous cake stands down Abbot Kinney.

Love this shop display, this would be perfect in our studio for storing all of our party bag fillers!

The most amazing Deli in Santa Monica, and its named after my late Grandmother....
