What in the world is a Paraphernalia Pack?

Howdy – it’s our newest blog post, where we will answer the question:

What in the world is a Paraphernalia Pack?

During the last 7 years of planning weddings, galas, and other events, we have developed a pretty great idea of what is most often forgotten. We always carry with us a huge kit that includes all kinds of necessities from thumb stacks to hammers to the ever-useful duct tape! About a year ago, we started to think that there are likely people out there throwing events that will find themselves missing the same things we have noticed! So, that was the birth of the Paraphernalia Pack.

The first pack we came out with was the General Pack which closely mirrors our emergency kit.  This Pack includes: AA Batteries, AAA Batteries, Candle Lighter, Cleaning Cloth, Duct Tape, Scotch Tape, Flash Lights, Hammer/Screwdriver, Hole Puncher, Markers, Nails, Paper Towel, Pen, Post it Note, Notecards, Scissor, Sewing Kit, Shout Wipes, Stapler/Staples. Super Glue, “Swiss Army Knife”, Tacks, Tin Foil, &Trash Bags

The next Pack that joined the party was the Wedding Pack which includes: A Pack of Thank You Cards, a Guest Book, 2 Champagne Flutes, a Cake Cutter, a Pack of Place Cards, a Pack of Escort Cards, a Pack of Kleenex, a Notepad, and a Pen.

Then there are a series of Packs that help celebrate specific holidays – these include the LGBTG Pride Pack, Birthday Pack, American Pack, Halloween Pack, Thanksgiving Pack, Hanukkah Pack, Christmas Pack, and New Year’s Pack.  You can find these all on our website www.onlyinmydreamsevents.com/products

Once the Pandemic began, we realized that our business model of planning large events was not going to be plausible. Our event specific packs are perfect for small gatherings at home, but we somehow wanted to do more for our community. This led to the creation of the Berkshire Pack  line of our products.

It starts with the Sample of our Community Pack  which includes around 15 different products from our community (including Maple Syrup, Tea, Chocolate, Cookies, to name just a few). This pack is currently available on our website and we will donate $10 per pack to the People’s Pantry in Great Barrington to help those who are food insecure.  This pack was also designed with social distancing in mind and includes a cloth mask and locally made Hand Sanitizer.

In the next weeks we will be expanding the Berkshire Pack line to include two more themed offerings.

First we will have a BBQing in our Community Pack that will include local BBQ Sauce, local apron, local bug repelling candle and many other things. Stay tuned for this launch soon.

The last planned addition to the Berkshire Pack line is the Rest and Restore Pack which will include a handmade mug from a local artist as well as a calming candle and tea to name just a bit of what it will feature. This will be perfect for those days when you just feel the need to rest your mind.

So, keep checking back on our website to see what new and exciting offerings we have! Some will be practical, some will be satisfying, but all will be fun and useful!

So that’s a little info about our Paraphernalia Pack line of products! We will continue to expand and improve our offerings! We love to be able to help those in our community while still being able to keep our business relevant. These packs make amazing gifts, both personally and corporate ones. We also offer Customizable Packs, so if you have something specific in mind, or need a large quantity, we can certainly help you with that too.
