Kate Spade New York x Target Collection Favorites: Party Supplies

As a fan of the fashion brand Kate Spade New York, I associate certain things with their products. One of them is how well made and stylish their handbags are. Another is there will be polka dots. And yet another their whimsical and sometimes funny designs.

When Target announced their collaboration with Kate Spade New York, I wondered how the collection would include what I associate with the brand: Their whimsical designs. Although I found many products in the collection that I see as Kate Spade whimsy-like designs, I liked the way the party supplies look the best.

For this post, picking my favorites were easy. Some of my most favorite party supplies are the Make a Wish candles, Hip Hip Hurray headbands, and the 2 count round boxes. Although these are many products featured in this post, I decided to include products I laugh at, but probably will not be buying. The most prominent one is the 4 piece mylar balloon headbands. They look cute and I think they are funny, but I don’t think I will ever use them!

Everything in this post (And all other posts in this series) will be available to purchase online on April 12, 2025 at 3 EST and in store on April 12th.

All the photos in this post are originally from the media pack available for free on Target’s website. I edited them for this post.

While doing my research, I realized very quickly giving alcohol, such as wine, is still the most popular gift to give at a dinner party. I do not drink alcohol, (I’m allergic to most kinds of alcohol, so I don’t even try to drink just in case) so I don’t feel comfortable buying wine for someone. Since I don’t drink, I have no idea if the wine I’m purchasing is high quality. Also, I am worried that if I give wine as a gift, it may mean I am a drinker and the host will serve it to me for dinner.

In order to drop a hint about my desire to not drink, yet give something very nice that will be useful, I created a list of gift ideas for a host or hostess. I don’t find a lot of information about non-alcoholic gifts for dinner party hosts, so I wanted to write a post about five of my gift ideas. They are general ideas that will help anyone who needs a general gift idea that will appeal to most people.
