When I came across Confetti System, I instantly felt like I needed to throw a party & fast! These adorable pinata’s are just to die for! Nicholas Andersen & Julie Ho are the talented duo behind this genius collaboration. They create beautiful festive objects that undeniably encourage the audience to interact with them. The idea of breaking into these gems, however, seems like the last thing on my mind…but, as with any suggested piñata, these better be filled with fabulous treats!

Take a look at some of my favorites.

Confetti System Diamond Piñata in Silver

They also do these really fantastic garlands. These would be perfect for any event, but I am thinking they are a must have for a New Year’s Eve bash this year. Definitely!
