party bags are a challenging subject, no matter the time of year or occasion. Although bag lovers are typically not very price-sensitive (by definition, you can’t really be in the market for a $2,000 accessory and be accurately described as “price-sensitive”), everyone likes to feel like they’re getting a good value, and special occasion bags are just that–for special occasions.
Most of us end up purchasing a party bag sooner or later, though, and best now is the ideal time of year to do it–not only are there plenty of available options that will be helpful for years to come, but any party bag you purchase at the moment will probably get taken out for at least a few spins before the first of the year, so it’ll feel less like something you purchased and right away put on a shelf in your closet. and then, each time you take it out in the future, you’ll be glad you’re prepared.
Naturally, we have some suggestions. (We always have suggestions.)
