Although many were invited...few came. Not because of the great products sent by Ziplock, but because of a lousy stomach virus going around. :-( However, all was not lost! I split all the items up so that everyone got something wonderful and gave the bags of "goodies" to folks as I saw them during the last couple of weeks.

I've heard nothing but praise from everyone. A lot of people mentioned that they had no idea Ziplock made so many storage products.

Thanks for aloowing me to host this party...even though it turned out to a sort of strange party!

My party had to be canceled because my daughter (10 months) caught a cold the night before. Thankfully understanding friends stopped by at various times (instead of all converging on the house at once). They were so pleased with their Ziploc goody bags! I was honestly surprised at the number of random comments regarding storage ideas - 'Oh, I could use the big bag for my sons small toys!' or 'the flexible tote will be perfect for my trip to the beach' and even 'I LOVE these soups canisters! The screw on tops just make me feel like nothing's going to leak'. With the remaining products and coupons, I brought them to work on Monday and placed them in the breakroom and it was a free-for-all of epic proportions! I heard one lady later commenting (under her breath) that she wished she would have gotten one of the large bags. Great products Ziploc!!

My party was tonight (Monday) and we had so much fun! Who would have thought plastic bags and containers could elicit so many oohs and aahs? Everyone LOVED the new flexible tote and everyone loved their goodies packed in the oh-so-cool polka dot big bags! We're wondering if we can get those in stores? We played a game where we broke into groups and each group had a ziploc product and came up with multiple uses for it. Then I did some random drawings for some of the extra containers and bags that came in my party pack. We had lots of great food and laughs!

We had such a great time at the party. My guest loved getting all the ziplock products.

They really loved the big dry ziplock bags. Many of my guest have hunters in their families and they said these would be great for them.

I posted pictures of the party on my party page.

Thank you Ziplock and House Party.

We had such a great time. I made tacos and I was able to cut up the ingredients and store them in the Ziploc containers until it was time to eat. We played a game and loved coming up with ideas for the twist lock containers. The kids decorated the rectangle containers with sharpies and were very proud of their designs. My guests were very surprised that all the goodies were free. They were so excited to fill up everything. One friend even said her husband was eager to get organized! Thank you to Ziploc and houseparty.com !!!!!!!

Thanks House Party and Ziploc, this was my first party and we had a blast! My daughter took lots of pics and we had a TON of great ideas for the use of Ziploc products. I'll be sorting through the ideas and posting them to my Party site soon! Our theme was how could my sister (a mommy-to-be) use these products. Everyone went away with samples, although I had more guests than I had expected, they were gracious and everyone had something they really wanted....even me! Thanks for allow us to help my sister get organized before the baby arrived next month!

Thank you Ziploc and House Party for making this possible! This was the first houseparty event that I hosted and it was a huge success! My guests loved the products and everyone said they didn't have a clue as to how many products Ziploc had out there! The Big Bags were a huge hit! My snacks were all healthy '100 Calorie' snacks to go with the use of the snack bags and XS bowls. Everyone devoured them! We all had a fun time and discussed the endless possibilities of Ziploc products. On behalf of my entire party, thank you for helping us get organized!

We had such a fun time! All of my guests raved about the products - especially the polka dot big bags!! No one had ever seen them before. Since most of us are mothers to small children, those bags will come in very handy to use in our diaper bags. We all also liked the snack containers to tote around snacks for the kids. Thank you so much!!

Wow! We had such a good time at our party! We used the notepads and pens to make lists of what we wanted to organize in our homes. Then everyone had to think of something unique for different types of Ziploc products. Scrapbooking storage, Camping supplies, sewing notions, beads, leftovers, small toys, snacks,etc. Everyone is now eagerly awaiting the totes to show up on store shelves!!! Thanks for a fun evening full of great friends and great ideas!

We had a great time last night at our party. My guests really loved the polka dot bags and all the goodies that went inside them. Each guest went home with lots of great products for themselves and even some to share with a friend if they would like. Thanks to Ziplock for the wonderful party pack!

My guests just left and everyone had a wonderful time!

Thanks ZipLoc!

Thank you Ziploc. It was a great day! We all came up with all kinds of new ways to organize. The kids made their Valentine's Day cards and clean=up was a snap thanks to all our new storage solutions. My guests loved the party favors and the leftovers that went with them in the new containers. Thanks again.

My party was a blast and we all had fun coming up with ideas for organization tips. The food was great and everyone loved the prizes from ziploc so everyone left with a bunch of party favors. I also filled the ziploc bags with candy of all different kinds and containers filled with desserts from the left overs.

Thanks Ziplock and houseparty.com. This was my first houseparty and my first party of any kind since moving to NYC. My guests had a great time talking about the challenges and rewards of apt. living vs living in a house. We played the game and shared ideas both serious and lighthearted about what to put in all the Ziplock products.

Oh my goodness, We had a Super Fantastic Party. Thank you to House Party Inc., Ziploc, friends, and my family for helping me host this party.

We had a great time. Everyone came up with one special idea for every item they recieved. We organized a closed with extra items which I purchased for the party. It was a game to see who could come up with the best and most efficient way of organizing my closet. They were in teams of 3 and the winners recieved a packet of goodies for closet organizations. The goodie bag included big basgs and the zip top square bags. Had lots of fun!!!!

Here are some tidbits of the ideas everyone had for using the Ziploc bags and containers (amazingly, when we made lists, most of us had the same things on it, but there were a few unique ideas as well):
crafts-separate materials
scrapbooking-sort supplies
hand-me-downs (on everyones list)
swaps
diaper bag/purse
leftovers
keep children's dishes together
save Box Tops in for schools
declutter the freezer
bath toys
sort and store small toys
keep the car neat
