Mother’s Day is lovely. Flowers are lovely. Chocolate is extremely lovely.

But if we’re being honest, what most mums really want is a tiny bit less thinking.

Mothering comes with a mental to-do list that never seems to end. It’s the quiet admin that keeps family life ticking along. Remembering birthdays. Buying the cards. Getting the presents before the party tomorrow that someone forgot to mention until bedtime.

So if you’re wondering what would really make the mum in your life smile this Mother’s Day, try taking a few things off her invisible list.
Put the grandparents’ birthdays in your calendar and sort the cards.

🔸Book the school meals for the next half term.
🔸Organise the costume before the night before panic.
🔸Offer to plan your child’s next birthday party together.
🔸Volunteer to be the one who remembers the PE kit, the permission slips and the non uniform days.

It might not come wrapped in ribbon, but trust us, sharing the mental load is a gift that beats even a very good box of chocolates.

And if a birthday party happens to be on that list… we know a place that can help with that bit. 😉

March and April are always busy for parties so if you're planning on holding one, my advice is...get everything booked ASAP!
Halls and entertainers book out quickly, as do our kits. So if you keep thinking 'I need to sort stuff' then make it a priority to avoid disappointment.
To book any of our equipment, just head to the website, add what you need to the form and send.
I'll then check availability and then get back to you to confirm your booking and organise the deposit.

THE BEST PARTY HACK EVER
This is without doubt, the best most useful party hack I've ever used. Founder of Party Kit Network, Isobel put me on to this. Labelling all the cups so that the kids know which is theres. So simple, but so effective. It does require a bit of prior planning but it doesn't take too long (and enhanced if you take the opportunity to watch your favourite programme or listen to an audiobook) and means you're not having to wash up cups during the party because kids can only remember that theirs was blue but not where they've put it.
Simply, use masking tape (this doesn't leave a residue) and a pen. Take it with you in case you've missed anyone so you can make it up on the fly.

This year, we signed The Kids Party Pact with , a promise to throw parties that are less wasteful, more meaningful.
This party was hands down, the best yet. Here’s what we did (and why I’m never going back).

💰 It was a “Pocket Money Party.”
Convincing my daughter to skip presents wasn’t easy… until I explained she’d get to pool all the cash from friends and buy something she really wanted, something that would last, not just 30 bits of well-meant clutter. It also saved other parents the stress of shopping, wrapping, and guessing what she might like. Total win-win.

📱 Digital invites only.
I made them on Canva and sent them via WhatsApp. Zero paper, instant RSVPs, and I could easily message everyone the day before to remind them about road closures and parking.

🎭 Entertainment outsourced
We hired the brilliant at their Awesome Studio in Frome. They filled the room with toys, dens, storytelling, and games, ending with disco dance-off. I asked them not to use balloons, which they happily respected. The result? Non-stop fun without the plastic.

🚸 Drop-off only.
32 kids, no parents. I adore a good chat, but let’s be honest, it’s hard to host and socialise when the decibel level rivals Glastonbury. Fewer grown-ups meant less food waste, less stress, and much more space for dancing.

🎂 Party bags — reimagined.
I’ve sold sustainable party bag fillers before, but even “eco” stuff still adds up to more stuff. This year, we swapped bags for a slice of cake and a mini paper activity book — small, useful, recyclable.

🍽️ Frome Eco Party Kit for the win.
Reusable plates and cups meant our total waste amounted to a single small bag — mainly kebab sticks (burned later in the log burner) and food wrappers (straight into our recycling).

The best part? My daughter was so proud of her “Pocket Money Party.” Her friends were generous, she got to thoughtfully choose a few long-lasting treasures, and she’s played with them every day since.

We’ve had so many parents message to say they loved the idea and plan to do it too because once you see how easy and joyful a “no crap” party can be, it just makes sense.

I've been very quiet haven't I? Frome Eco Party Kit is still going strong, life has just got in the way of posting. Luckily, I've got some amazing customers who have been booking in as usual (Sept and Oct have been particularly busy).
For those who haven't yet come across us, we provide a one-box solution for kids parties (and adult ones) that has all the plates, cups, serving platters and bowls and jugs that you need for a party so that you don't have to have black bags full of single-use versions. Plus, its cheaper than disposable ones too!

For every kit booked, £1 is donated to a local school PTA, they save a minimum of 57 single use versions from going to landfill and supports a female-owned, local company....yey!

To book, head to my website www.fromeecoparty.com

Let’s face it, while gift-giving can be heart-warming and wholesome, kids' parties are often where it all unravels. As the grown-up of a small party guest, you're suddenly faced with the challenge of choosing a present for a child you’ve never met, in a panic-buy dash between work and dinner. Cue: overspending, second-guessing, and the inevitable question, “Do they even like dinosaurs?”

Not everyone can afford to buy a gift for every invite. And honestly, no child should miss out on jelly and bouncy castles because a grown-up’s bank balance says no.

Then there’s the environmental kicker, every gift, whether loved or left to gather dust, has a footprint: made, packaged, posted, and possibly forgotten.

I reckon it’s time we gave kids’ parties a much-needed glow-up. The pressure to gift has become a weird unspoken rule, and it’s time to break it, for our sanity, our wallets, and the planet.

This year, my daughter has asked for a party, her first for 4 years. I explained that we can but it will be a 'Pocket Money Party'. Instead of gifts, if people do still wish to give something they can add some money to a card or into a piggy bank we will have on the table. That way she can put the money toward an item she's had her eye on or an experience she would like to do, instead of receiving duplicates she already has or things she isn't really in to. We also will then steer her to buying any toys second-hand with the money.

What are your thoughts on this?
