When I first started my second job as Recreation Manager, my team and I tried to do everything by ourselves. We would scour the riyalin shops for party decors and give aways. We'd make our own banderitas and I've even introduced our native Pabitin game to the compound kids! Often we would drain our energy preparing, that by the end of the event, we were all dead tired.
If you have children, you can probably relate and understand how hard it is to organize a kid's party all by yourself! Especially in Riyadh where there's no Divisoria-esque shops where you can get everything in bulk.
Don't let the facade fool you! They have the newest stocks! |
It was then that I realized that we needed the help of professionals. I found The Good Ship Lollipop by searching online. No, I am not talking about Shirley Temple's Goodship Lollipop. They are not related to a song or a cocktail! The Goodship Lollipop is a specialty shop for every party needs. Located near Centria, right beside Chanel (corner Olaya and Tahlia street), the quaint little shop is an event coordinator's wonderland.
Matching paper cups, plates, banners and party hats! |
High quality balloons in a variety of colors! |
Giveaways and prizes! |
Masks and party hats! |
They also offer party products and services like bouncy castles, rides, mascots, clowns, magicians, hotdog stands, cotton candy machines, AV setups, chairs and tables!
That bouncy castle is 6m x 7m rented at 1500 SR for the whole day |
For our parties, we usually rent the bouncy castle. It's really a big hit with my young residents. They can literally jump around for 4 hours non-stop! The clown provides the games and entertains the kid's with magic tricks and balloon animals! Their parents can finally relax, go over some vendor's merchandise or chat with their friends.
All though some of the products are priced a little higher than what you'd normally find in the riyalin shops, the convenience of finding it in good condition and the time you save is well worth it. So the next time you want to go all out on preparing for a kiddie party, or the "kid-at-heart party", you know who to call! Ghostbusters! Goodship Lollipop!

4 had something to say:
the high quality balloons arent of that high class since we prchased 50 of them and by next day there were only 3 left.the ones we got from jazeera survived though
they transferred to a new location right after localizer on the same street.
do you have a cotton candy machine to rent ?
@Anonymous^: Kindly inquire through Good Ship Lollipop's phone number. If you want a small cotton candy machine, you can buy them in HyperPanda or Tavola.
