Remember a few weeks ago when I suggested a pre-holiday prep party for Thanksgiving? A time to get your friends together, have a fun time and get some things checked off your list?

I love different holiday party ideas, and this is on that same page, except a gift wrapping party before the holidays!  Over the years I’ve found gift wrapping to actually be really fun. I love getting a little more creative, incorporating different hang ties (like these or these) and adding a touch of greenery or holly to each gift.

Why not have your friends over, bring out the appetizers, holiday music and Stella Artois and wrap some gifts together? Better yet, bring out the B.A.R.T., Bartending Automated Robotic Technology, and turn your robot vacuum into a bartender! This limited-edition attachment can velcro on any robot vacuum and is only $19.99 (while supplies last). B.A.R.T. cleans, serves snacks, beer bottles and chalices – truly the gift that keeps on giving.

I mean… if this doesn’t bring a hilarious element of fun to a holiday party, I don’t know what does. We have had a robot vacuum for several years now and I truly would never want to live without it. Having two pets, it’s a game changer. Another pro of the B.A.R.T. is that you can be like the Barnes crew and get your pre-party prep on a little early to clean up some of the house before your guests arrives.  And it can also serve me a beer? NOW we’re talking.

You might be thinking, “Kathleen honey, do you really think you can put 4-8 bottles and glasses of beer on a vacuum and it won’t spill?” The answer is yes, sister! The way this bad boy was designed it’s guaranteed not to spill in transit.  It’s magic!

Are you planning on hosting for the holidays this year? Or do you have a themed party tradition that you can’t imagine skipping (hello tacky sweater party!)? I’d love to hear what your plans are this year!

If you want to host your own gift wrapping party, I hope this party prep post will inspire your wrapping skills.  And then you can grab a cold Stella and toast to your beautifully wrapped gift.  So really, it’s a win-win.

And tell me if you’re also a robot vacuum lover and if you can see yourself using the B.A.R.T. I can’t get over how fun this thing is and I love that anyone can snag their own for under $20! I mean, that’s a good time.

Thanks so much for reading and sharing – XO –
