Super Bowl XLVI is Almost Here!
The Super Bowl is coming up, and you don’t need to go to Indianapolis to tailgate. We have everything you need to bring the tailgate party to YOU!
We are super excited about our new Tailgate Car Props. They are real cars that have been cut in half so that only the trunk exists. The opposite side is flat so you can set them up against a wall and serve chips & dip, popcorn, candy, or any other superbowl food. Make it even more festive by adding our Tailgate Party Painted Flat and Quarterback Challenge Flat.
Bleachers can bring the “sports arena” feel to any location. We have tons of Football Props that can add a nice touch for decor around the house like football helmets, goal posts, and footballs. Have your guests “admit one” through our ticket booths.
Use our various Football Flats as photo ops or as finishing touches to a room. Besides what’s pictured, we have different referees, football players, and oversized helmets!
Visit our Super Bowl and Football prop pages to see all of the props we have to offer!

We thought we would help you ring in the new year with some fun facts about New Year’s Eve!
- The first New Year’s Eve ball in 1907 weighed 700 pounds, was 5 feet in diameter, consisted of 100 25-watt light bulbs, and was made of wood and iron.

The Dutch believe it’s good luck if the first food you eat in the new year is a donut. It represents “coming full circle.”
-
Throughout the year, visitors to Times Square write their New Year’s wishes on pieces of official Times Square New Year’s Eve confetti. These pieces of confetti are added to the one ton of confetti that is showered on the crowd in Times Square during the ball drop.
-
The top three places in the United States to celebrate New Year’s Eve are New York City, Las Vegas and Disney World.
-
Foods that are bad luck to eat on New Year’s Eve are lobster because they move backwards, and chicken because they scratch in reverse. It is believed that eating these might cause a reverse in fortune.
-
About 75% of New Year’s Eve parties in the United States have 20 people or less in attendance.
-
There are around 49 million bubbles in your standard 750ml bottle of champagne.
-
The tradition of setting New Year’s resolutions dates back to the ancient Babylonians. Their most common resolution was to return used farm equipment. Today, the most common resolutions include losing weight, spending more time with family, quitting smoking, and getting out of debt.
-
“Auld Lang Syne” started as a poem written by Scottish Poet, Robert Burns, that was set to the tune of an old Scottish folk song. It later became the traditional song to commemorate the new year in Scotland and the British Isles. It became an American tradition as people from those parts of the world immigrated to the U.S. “Auld Lang Syne” is Scottish for “Old Long Ago.”
With that…
HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
