A mini surprise ball is a small wound puzzle of a party favor: you find the end, unwind it, and six prizes drop out along the way. This iridescent bon bon is the version for the grown up table, finished in shimmer instead of print, which is precisely why it keeps working after December 25 and straight through the countdown. Set one at each place as new years eve party favors and you have quietly solved the two problems every New Year's Eve table has, which are giving people something to do before midnight and something to carry home after. It is a tidy hostess gift on its own, it slides into a stocking without needing a box, and it is a reliable icebreaker at a table of people who have only just been introduced. If your new years eve party supplies already run to sequins and confetti, this is the piece that matches without shouting. Contains small parts, so it is meant for ages 3 and up.
