This wee fancy dress shop at the top of Bangor's High Street has been a lifesaver for me recently…read more I know what you're thinking; what did you need that was so pressing from a fancy dress shop? Well, you'll be pleased to know that I wasn't desperately seeking a top gun pilot suit I was actually looking for Event party accessories and these guys came up trumps. After searching high and low for plain gift boxes for my mother dearest suggested that I contact Party Treasures, so that's just what we did. Initially they didn't have any in stock but they asked me the date of my event and promised that they would order them in for me. They even took our contact details and called when they arrived in store. You couldn't ask for better customer service. The shop itself is jam packed with party, fancy dress costumes and props. Although as I found out if they don't have it in stock just ask and they will try their best to source it for you. So next time you want to make an impression at a fancy dress party make sure you pop in here first, forget the internet, go to the experts, they won't steer you wrong.

This is one of those little shops you stumble across every so often that sells supplies for…read moreparties. You know the kind of thing: balloons, banners, candles, kids toys, cards and fancy dress items. With my hen do coming up I thought I'd have a quick look in at their supply of pink learner plates and willy straws. I wasn't disappointed nor was I amazed. They have a small section filled with the usual stuff. I didn't buy anything as I am waiting on feedback about a theme for the event! God help me! The shop itself feels like it hasn't been open long, everything looks sparse and the atmosphere is slightly depressing - I think they need to decorate the inside with sample balloons and turn on the radio. Once I was in I couldn't wait to get out again. They are in a good catchment area as there are no other specific party goods shops in the area so they should do well if this is a new shop - it lacks a happy atmosphere though.

It doesn't take a genius to work out what this place sells. Definitely a case of doing exactly…read morewhat it says on the tin. Well the sign outside actually. Whatever kind of party you're having, you'll find your supplies here. Invitations, banners, balloons, candles, badges etc etc. They're probably a little more expensive than you would pay in the giants like Tesco, but sometimes it's a nicer experience to go to somewhere local that's smaller and more of a specialist. Especially if they were in business before the big supermarkets blotted out the sun. I have also used these guys to supply large numbers of helium balloons for a corporate launch event and the owner came in especially on a Sunday morning to check that everything was OK for the event the next morning. So, good customer service and the produce was great too - big bunches of balloons in corporate colours tied together to look like bunches of flowers. If they hadn't been in corporate colours, I would have taken them home.
