Party planning can be exciting and also a bit stressful. Amanda here from Maptote, and I recently came back from celebrating my engagement with my in-laws in Hong Kong. I certainly know what it feels like to brainstorm for fun party favors that are easy on the wallet, durable, and with a side of yum! For my engagement dinner in Hong Kong, I decided to travel from New York with a special and meaningful box of favors. I’m originally from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. It was a no brainer to include our Puerto Rico Grocery Totes as part of the favors. It was really important for me to celebrate Brooklyn gastronomy while also keeping my fiance’s love for chocolate in mind. We both decided to go for local artisanal dark chocolate bars from Raaka. These favors were a hit! You only need a Maptote, some yarn or ribbon of choice, and possibly like us, a delicious chocolate bar.
