Partease Review & Giveaway

Partease...always spell parties with ease!  Partease is a cute online favor shop that caters to a variety of events including weddings, bridal showers, anniversaries, baby showers, birthday parties, and even sweet 16  & quinceaneras!  Partease offers a variety of favors, accessories and gifts that are great for general and themed occasions.

Although there are many online favor shops out there, this one is unique for a couple of reasons.  First of all, Partease provides a unique personalized service called Favor Finder.  Favor Finder is a service that helps you to find ideas for your special event easily with the help of a Partease consultant.  To use the Favor Finder, all you need to do is go here, and fill out a simple form that asks you questions about your upcoming event.  Some questions include information about your budget, color schemes, type of occasion, formality, etc.  Once you fill in the Favor Finder form, someone from Partease will get back to you within 24 business hours with some personalized suggestions for your event. 


Secondly, Partease is very user friendly because of the number of different search options available.  Whether you are shopping in from the US, Canada, or Europe, you can change the currency accordingly.  You no longer have to figure out the exchange rate on your own or get a surprise on your bill when you realized you calculated the price incorrectly.  Additionally, on Partease you can search by the following: New Wedding Favors, Popular Party Favors, Favor Containers, Color, Theme, Occasion, Category, or Accessories/Gifts.  The way this website is set up is ideal since it is fairly simplist, logical, and considers the diversity of events. 

Review
The owner of Partease offered to send me one of their products to test out.  I received the Swish Cup and Saucer Favor Set (set of 4) for my review.  When I first saw these cups online, I thought they were adorable and unique.  I find that many online favor shops sell the same favors (for the most part) but I had never seen these unique cups before stumbling across Partease.

According to Partease, "These stylish cup and saucer sets feature fine white porcelain in a contemporary "Swish" design. Perfect addition to a modern table setting, or fill with treats for a one-of-a-kind favor your guests will love!"  When I received this set, I noticed how versatile they are.  These cups can easily be given as a gift to a coffee fanatic, kept in your own home for everyday use or when you have guests over, or used for party favors.  If given as a gift, the recipient will definitely love their unique shape and the fact that they sized perfectly for espressos!  If you'd prefer to use these cups and saucers as favors, all you need to do is fill the cups with the filling of your choice (e.g. candy, gourmet coffee beans, etc.) and you have a great favor that won't just collect dust after the event!

There are a few things I like about this set.  First of all, I love the design!  The cups and sauces are very unique and they will easily become a conversation piece at your home or at your event!  Secondly, I found them extremely easy and comfortable to hold.  Because of the design, the swish handle creates a perfect resting spot for your thumb.  Thirdly, I like that this product is made from porcelain.  The weight of the product is comfortable to hold and I don't feel like I am going to break it (when items are too light, I worry that they'll shatter if not placed with extreme care).

Overall, I think this set would be a fantastic addition to your own home or an espresso-loving friend's home.  This set would also be a great option for making your own unique favors.  There are only a couple of suggestions I have for Partease.  When purchasing products such as these, I like to know where they are made.  Adding a simple statement about the product's place of origin would be nice (in this cause, this set is made in Chine).  I also like to know whether or not they are dishwasher or microwaveable safe.

This set requires a minimum of 2 sets purchased.  Each set is fairly reasonably priced at $13.20 USD.  A fun modern design without the modern price tag!
