There is no person in the world who does not celebrate the end of the year. Whether by superstition, to mark a change of cycle or simply because we have reached another year, we all celebrate it. Each one in their own way. Although each country has its own traditions, such as kissing in the United States, ringing a bell in Japan, breaking plates at the door in Denmark, eating lentils in Italy or eating twelve grapes in Spain. But if there is a common denominator all over the world, it is that New Year’s Eve should be celebrated in style and, if possible, with a party kit in hand.
The word «cotillion» is a French word that originally meant petticoat or skirt. Later it was used as a name for a type of dance, similar to the waltz, with which certain parties were closed around 1700 in France. It seems that at these festivities when it was time to dance the cotillion, it was customary to hand out some small gifts, such as confetti, streamers, whistles and other gadgets, in order to give more joy and animation to the evening. This dance was a kind of party finale. And that is how «cotillion» came to be used as a name for the gifts rather than for the dance itself.
Who hasn’t finished the year and automatically blew a party horn with all their might? A New Year’s Eve without a necklace around the neck, a mask on the face and a hat on the head does not feel like a New Year’s Eve. The cotillion is already a Christmas tradition and there are some elements that you can’t miss in order to live to the fullest the gatherings with friends and family.
The New Year’s Eve party kits are also a classic at García de Pou. We are honoured to have been the first to introduce them to the Spanish market almost sixty years ago and today we continue to sell them all over the world. Wherever you dine and whichever disco you go to, the party kits are sure to be present. Ours include different funny and amusing items that will allow you to say goodbye to the year with a smile and have a great time.
In individual format we have several models depending on the items included: from the basic party kit «Eco Saint Tropez» and «Eco Royale» to the most complete party kit «Riviera» with luxury items. You can also purchase the New Year’s Eve party kits for 6, 10, 20 or 50 people. Or, if you prefer, you can buy all the party items and fill the bag yourself with the articles you like the most.
You have many to choose from, as many as your imagination allows, although there are some that you can’t miss: clowns, trumpets, hats, coloured necklaces, balloons, tiaras, masks, confetti and streamers. Don’t hesitate to order your New Year’s Eve party kits in our online shop, if you haven’t already done so, and say goodbye to this 2021 as you deserve.
