My Review: Working with this company is fun, but when given this topic I was a little disappointed. They told me to choose 1 item worth up to $35 from one of their 30, 40, or 50th birthday party supply websites. So looking at each selection there was no item over $15 average pricing. Having to choose 1 item worth way less than the dollar amount this company gave me, was really frustrating. I could have chosen 3 items or more worth a total of $35 and given them way more reviews than on just one item worth $5-$10. But since its their rules, I had to do just that, and only choose one item worth very little. But I chose one of the most fun items for a birthday party:
50th shaped pinata. Now, no one was turning 50, but then no one in our family was turning 40 or 30 either. So we chose the most fun shaped pinata to review. We filled it really full, which was challenging at first. The whole shape is hollow, so when you pour the candy in from the top, it is poured in at a sideways angle, so you have to tip and shake the pinata to fill the rest of each number. It holds a LOT of candy. I would pour in a whole bag and find it still very empty, so I bought some metallic tinsel and would put handfuls of that in with the candy to help make it harder and more fun and exciting for the kids who would be beating this thing.
The pinata was a huge success at our little party we held in its honor just to use it. We had about 10 kids, all the little kids got 5-10 direct hits with my 7 year old's metal base ball bat. Of course this is so well made that even after 5 kids hitting it directly nothing came out. So I used a pair of scissors and cut little openings, and made about 10 different weak spots on the pinata, then let the older kids each get 2 hits with the metal base ball bat. That did the trick for the initial set of candy busting out of the pinata. But I still had to rip open a hole and dump the candy out so no one got hurt running for the rest of the candy. The kids didn't care that I didn't get more products to review, they just had a ton of fun, and loved that I was able to invite their close friends over for a pinata beating night. It was a huge success!
Pros: well built, fun bright colors, great customer service in getting the product to ship quickly, loved it
Cons: well built so I had to make it weak, and still ended up ripping it to spill the candy
My Rating: Thumbs up and down: Thumbs up for the kids loving the pinata, and how fun and what a great product it is, thumbs down for being disappointed with this review and not getting the full price value they offered me.
My Review: The owners of this company are super nice and very polite. They have gone above and beyond in their customer service, and fast shipping. Their products are all unique, fun, pretty, and can be used in multiple ways. Their products are great for long hair, short hair, thin hair or thick hair, super soft cloth elastic can't harm your hair when using these products. The elastic comes in a large variety of colors and styles. Each band has a fun bling jewel perfect for catching the light, your friend's eyes and lots of attention. I was also able to test and try their 5-in-1 Hair Band; which can be worn as an anklet, hair band, head band, bracelet, or choker necklace. This was super slick in my thin straight hair and didn't stay in place at all. I am not a fan of chokers, but was surprised at how comfortable it was to wear. When they say choker, its not super tight, it is a lot looser than I would have thought which helps. Super cute! For wearing this 5-in-1 Hair Band as a bracelet or anklet you have to double it up, which looks like the newest trend of wrap jewelry. Super Fun! I was able to test and try out their 3-in-1 Hair Tie; which can be worn as a bracelet, anklet or hair tie. As a hair tie my thin straight hair actually stayed in place, which was really nice, because I didn't think it would because of how silky the elastic material is. 
My Review: When I first got this review, I was told it would just be the cool hat, but this company went above and beyond and gave me so much more to review! I commend their customer service, a company willing do to this kindness for a product reviewer blogger, is a company worth buying from, and telling the world about. They sent me the hat, shamrock glasses, shamrock necklace, and 2 glitter shamrock head band wiggles. My kids and I have already had a ton of fun wearing these costume accessories. My 7 year old loves the shamrock glasses. My 4 year old has laid claim to the hat and the necklace, he loves wearing it with his favorite super hero costume. We have a really fun St. Patrick's day celebration planned, so having these extra fun costume accessories totally made my day! Thanks so much Private Island Party, we very much appreciate your kindness.
