Liven up Christmas! Popular party goods

Keyboard playerSAKI
I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Pie throwing

You should try it too! I tried the pie-throwing set!

Pie throwing

Pie-in-the-face pranks where you slam a pie right into someone’s face—you see them a lot on TV shows and YouTuber challenges.

No matter who’s doing it, it’s always funny when their face turns completely white from the pie.

Still, some people might feel uncomfortable about wasting food, even if it’s just cream.

That’s when a pie-throwing set comes in handy.

The contents vary by product, but they usually include a few paper plates and a foam spray.

Instead of using edible pies, you use foam made from cosmetic-grade ingredients, so you can enjoy pie-throwing without wasting food!

ice cream ball

Let’s roll it and make one! Ice cream bowl♪

ice cream ball

Ice cream eaten in the hot summer is delicious, but ice cream enjoyed in a warm room during the cold winter is great too, isn’t it? Let me introduce the Ice Cream Ball, a fun way to make “winter ice cream” while you play! Put a mixture of heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sugar into the ball.

On the opposite opening, fill it with plenty of ice and salt—that’s all the prep you need.

Then spend about 10 minutes tossing, kicking, or rolling the ball around as you like.

After about 10 minutes, you’ll find ice cream has formed inside the ball! Why not try it as one of the desserts for your Christmas party?

Card game “The ‘Haa’ Saying Game”

“The ‘Haa’ Game” explainer video

Card game “The ‘Haa’ Saying Game”

A game called “Haa-tte Iu Game,” where you guess the situation based only on someone’s voice and facial expressions.

You pick a single prompt word, then secretly assign each player a different situation in which they must say that word.

For example, if the prompt word is “haa,” each player performs “haa” using tone and expressions to match their assigned situation.

If you guess correctly, you earn points, and the performer also earns points equal to the number of correct guesses.

The player with the most points at the end wins! It’s a slightly unusual game that tests your acting skills—and it’s sure to liven up a Christmas party!

Speaker

A speaker that blasts loud just by placing your smartphone on it!?

Speaker

BGM is essential for livening up a party, right? If you’re going to use the music on your smartphone or a subscription service as background music, make sure to have a speaker ready! These days there are many types of Bluetooth speakers, and they’re easy to connect without any fussy setup.

And amazingly, even 100-yen shops sell Bluetooth speakers—not for 100 yen, but for under 1,000 yen.

They’re useful for everyday use too, so if you don’t have one, it might be worth buying!
