Throw a Gifting Party with Poppy Gifting

When raindrops on roses become Laetitia Rouget tulip candleholders and whiskers on kittens turn into pink, butterfly Ray-Ban sunglasses, these are a few of our favorite things. 

Whether you dream of running through the blooming fields of Austria and falling in love with a single father of seven, or simply relish that usual sense of summer nostalgia, we love the idea of celebrating the joys in life. From bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens to crisp apple strudels and schnitzel with noodles, share your favorite things with your friends at a charming gifting party! 

Invite your guests to a cheerful, warm, and sophisticated brunch party, encouraging each attendee to bring their must-have essentials. Everyone will share their top picks with the group, from favorite dinnerware or accessories to go-to recipes or skincare remedies. By the end of the party, each guest will leave with a new soon-to-be-beloved item, recommended and gifted by one of the other attendees.

Now that you have the concept, all you need is some inspiration. That’s where Partytrick and Poppy Gifting come in! Partytrick provides all the tools you need to plan the ultimate gifting party, from decor and recipe ideas to detailed planning timelines leading up to the big day. With Poppy Gifting, you'll find curated shoppable links to unique and personalized gift ideas perfect for every vibe, along with personalized gifting consultations and help from gift ideation to wrapping and delivery.

For the Party:

Add a bit of whimsy and flirtation to your space with over-the-top, frilly tableware, patterned plates, and vibrant flower arrangements in soft pastel hues, set in glossy, delicate ceramic and glass vases. Invite your guests to wear their favorite sophisticated sundresses, reminiscent of Maria’s twirling dress. Adorn your table with an array of light and elegant appetizers, such as burrata with fig preserves, whipped ricotta with hot honey, melon caprese skewers, and avocado deviled eggs. The final touch should be the presents themselves! Tastefully wrap your gifts in your favorite wrapping paper, seal the deal, and tie them up with a bow, just like brown paper packages tied up with string.

For the Gifts:

Poppy Gifting helps you source the perfect gift for any occasion. Below, we’ve curated a few of our favorite gifting guides from the Poppy team, ideal for summer and to give you inspiration for what to bring to your gifting party!

School’s Out, Summer’s In:

Deck out your pool with a yellow-striped pool floaty, or bring it to your nearest lake or still body of water to look chic all day. Pack all your summer necessities, from Rhode beauty lip gloss to Elta MD sunscreen to Oribe detangling spray, in a chic fanny pack from Rothy’s that’s as practical as it is cute! 

Summer Solstice Party Prep:

Embrace the summer bloom with beautiful bright colors and floral-themed decor. Set your summer table with rosy flower napkin rings and multicolor peony coupe glasses. Decorate yourself with a Midsommar-esque flower crown, making you feel like you’re sixteen going on seventeen!
