PARTYING WITH SURPRISE BALLS

Have you tried a surprise ball yet? They're so fun -- stickers, miniature animals and other little treasures wrapped in crepe paper to resemble a ball. They're made in the form of everything from fruit to flowers. We fell in love with Robert Mahar's bright beauties at Crafting Community in Palm Springs. They're perfect for holidays, keep the kids entertained at a party and can even be DIY'ed, if you're so inclined. Here are some of our favorites.

Pomegranate by Anandamayi Arnold exclusively at Tail of the Yak in Berkeley.

You may remember these Meri Meri Easter bunnies from our party.

This guy would have been a perfect addition to our Swan Guide.

SURPRISE BUNNIES

Do you know about surprise bunnies?! They're kinda like mini Christmas crackers and are one of the greatest things to happen to an Easter party. These Meri Meri surprise bunnies keep the kids entertained as they unwrap layers of tissue to reveal jokes, temporary tattoos and a little baby chick inside. So cute and fun!

These little party animals loved them!
