They say, "it's the thought that counts" when it comes to the practice of exchanging gifts. This may be true but here at BashBLOK, it's the gift wrapping that counts for us...well, the wrapping plus the thought. Since we are in the business of promoting gracious hosting and party planning perfection we think the art of gift giving, wrapping and all, should be nothing less that enchanting. You spend good time shopping and searching for a gift. Why not let the recipient of said gift spend more than 5 seconds taking tissue paper out of a bag? Gift bags and tissue paper are perfectly acceptable but when you can, kick your presentation skills up a few notches. This may seem like a practice that can get expensive quickly but you are in luck. Our example is cost effective and just a clever way of re-purposing ordinary tissue and wrapping paper. And, we always recycle both!

You guessed it, this post is completely dedicated to the importance of a pleasant Powder Room experience. Whether you realize it or not, your Powder Room is the most visited space when home entertaining.  You can count on every guest spending at least three minutes in here with undivided attention and judging the quality of your toilet paper. Many a time I have found myself in an unpleasant powder room situation with either crazy counter clutter, an overflowing waste basket or one hand towel for 10 people to use over the course of 4 plus hours. Yuck! Please planners, do not be this person. Your Powder Room does not have to be equipped with a heated, self cleaning toilet or a motion sensing sink but at least stocked with a few basic needs for a smooth experience.


At BashBLOK, we love our mamas so, everyday is Mother's Day. If you are like us, you've been buying gifts for mom for a couple decades plus so finding the perfect gift is more of a challenge. However, don't fret. We've been searching for days to curate the perfect list of goodies to show mom just how much you care. 

It's Super Bowl time and that means one of our favorite food categories will be coming out in abundance, appetizers. And, more specifically, dips! Whether you are hosting or attending a celebration in honor of the Panthers taking on the Broncos, we have the perfect list of recipes to fill up your chip 'n dip. Let's make Super Bowl 50 a smash and go team...whoever your team may be.

With 2016 just days away we at BashBLOK can't help but be excited. It has been an extra thrilling year for us as we officially launched our event planning app, to better plan and organize your bash and our blog, to share our favorite ideas and products. We look forward to continuing to bring you the best in all things party planning. To kick off the new year, we've come up with a fool proof cocktail menu. Cheers to 2016 and may your next bash be a smash!

Oh how we love a good printable! One of our favorite blogs, 'two twenty one', has impressed team BashBLOK yet again with this so fabulous and so elegant New Year's Eve printable. Gilt with a little glittery glam, these are perfect for jazzing up a cocktail table, buffet or even party favors. No need to be disappointed with the picked over decorations at your local party supply store. These are cost effective and you can certainly get the job done with a good quality card stock and a personal printer.

It's not a party unless your are greeted by a very large stuffed giraffe! Jenny Pak and her team of talented designers and florists expertly collaborated to create a truly magnificent first birthday for her son, Josiah. We are so in love with this safari themed bash including gold painted toy animal accessorized with party hats, soft and sophisticated floral arrangements anchored by burlap table runners and the best part, safari hats for the guests. This first birthday bash was definitely a smash! Read more about this special day on the Hostess with the Mostess Blog. 

Team BashBLOK is thrilled to share this summer craft project with you from the Between Naps on the Porch blog. Often times, seasonal decorations can be a little spendy so we love finding budget friendly entertaining hacks. Our DIY team is already curating the supplies to recreate these absolutely stunning seashell chargers. We think this project is sure to impress your guests and add a bit of the beach to your summer tablescape decor.
