The Best Reaction…

So last weekend we travelled to an area we hadn’t been to before and met the loveliest little family. But the best bit by far was being sent this video of that night.
6 x lovely little girls and their reaction to Unicorn Dreams. How adorable, this is what we do this for ♡

New Theme For Boys!!!

We have some exciting news, and it’s almost ready!!

We have been asked a few times for a boys theme and because those requests are continuing and there seems to be enough demand, we have decided to go ahead and create a boy’s theme too.

Of course girls and boys can use either theme but we realise that unicorns are most popular with girls so to create choice for all, we have decided on a sporty type theme to extend our range and have named it “Sporting Slumbers”

Choosing accessories has not been easy and it has taken us a lot of shopping around to find the perfect items.

We welcome any comments or suggestions to help us perfect the experience. Take a look and let us know what you think….

Lovely soft plush football cushions for our new theme, they’re absolutely huge too!

Football placemats and coasters, these are a fantastic find, they appear very realistic in real life.
How cool are these sheets though? When we seen them we had to get them! We just can’t wait to launch the boy’s theme.
We really do try to think of everything from both the child’s perspective and the parent’s. That’s why in place of dream catchers, our sports themed tents have miniature basket ball hoops attached and come complete with miniature basket balls too! This is a great novelty to keep them entertained, an absolute blessing in a party full of kids!! 😂
Football balloons, the perfect accessory. We’re so excited!!!
These scenesetters make the perfect accessory for football themed parties.
You can use them as a backdrop for photographs and they also double up as a wipe clean table cloth. Clever eh?
Breakfast boxes are available to match every theme, this includes our new and upcoming Sporting Slumbers!!
Breakfast boxes match the theme of the party and are a great finishing touch. Further info can be found in our FAQs section.

If you wish to add this service as an optional extra then please let us know at the time of booking.

We also offer goodie bags to each child who attends a party, these are provided at no extra cost and match the party theme.

We always try to include items which will keep them busy (and possibly quiet 😂) whilst ensuring gifts are age appropriate at the same time.

A typical goodie bag may contain items such as temporary tattoos, stickers, a jigsaw puzzle, crayons, a puzzle book and a miniature pinball game.
These are available in various colours or styles too so the children can swap and share between them to make it even more exciting!

We also have more masculine duvet covers in dark colours, a plain black version of the sleepmasks and grey breakfast tables in place of the white ones.

The fairy lights and lanterns are still included as standard but we have replaced the cream lanterns with black to create a lovely coordinated set.

We also have lovely football themed bunting to hang between each tent.

We honestly can’t wait to show you all of this set up. Keep an eye on our blog for pics of the completed set up coming soon!!

What do you think of our set up so far? Let us know in the comments below ⚽

UPDATE: IT’S ALL FINISHED AND READY TO BE HIRED.

Unicorn Babies

We’re so excited to announce that we’re now stocking baby sizes in our unicorn headbands range.

It took us a while to find the perfect one, but we have eventually found a style we love ♡

Elasticated and beautiful

There’s been a lot of people requesting baby sized headbands when buying some of our smaller sizes in the tutus.

They go lovely with our baby tutus and unicorn vests too.

These lovely little pieces are elasticated for a better fit and look absolutely gorgeous whether you’re putting them on baby or a teddy!

So now if you want to dress your teddy in a unicorn outfit then you can!

And the best thing is, with us you don’t have to queue for hours to make it affordable.

We stock a whole entire range of unicorn headbands and tutus and offer a saving if bought together as an outfit.

Keep an eye on our store for other new unicorn items being added regularly.

Living The Unicorn Dream

Ellie-Anne had the full works prepared for her party today.

We just loved setting up Ellie-Anne’s sleepover today…..

Afterall, what could possibly be better than visiting a household where they love unicorns as much as we do?

She had the perfect room for it – all decorated in unicorn style and full of pretty little unicorn accessories! Everything you could think of from a unicorn lamp and unicorn bedding, down to the tiniest details like her unicorn hankies!

The teepees went in there so well, they almost looked as if they were made to match and it all went perfectly together, like any little girl’s dream come true.

We hope you have a fabulous birthday party Ellie-Anne and plenty of unicorn dreams ♡

This has got to be one of our favourite displays so far, we just didn’t want to leave the party.

An epic mistake put right!

Who spotted our big mistake yesterday?

But in true TUSC style we have rectified this by honouring both winners! It’s a good job we had more than one Glenda Unicorn in stock 😄.

Yep, we misread the number on the generator video and announced the wrong winner (28) but the video was actually number 23. Oops!

Of course we couldn’t go back on our word so we’re sending out two Glendas to new homes today.

No 28 Stephanie Armstrong and no 23 Katie Grey will both be receiving their new pets this week ♡

We would love to see some snaps of them when they reach their forever homes ♡

So much choice!!!

We like to think that our teepee hire is the best in the North East and we’re constantly looking for ways to stand out from the crowd. One of the things we do to ensure this is give free goodie bags to every child who attends one of our parties.

At present we are doing unicorn themed parties entitled “Unicorn Dreams”.

There’s 3 different styles of goodie bag to go with the Unicorn Dreams theme. The contents of which have been carefully handpicked by ourselves.

We have tried to select the items included to be exciting for the children, whilst remaining age appropriate and of course matching the theme of the party. Which up to now is 100% unicorns.

We have also tried to include items to keep them entertained as we know how important this element can be!!

The first two options are free for all kids at the party.

They all contain items such as a unicorn glider and unicorn bubbles but in addition to this, the bag for smaller kids includes a unicorn bracelet, unicorn keyring, unicorn sticker sheet and a unicorn notepad.

The bag for older kids still contains unicorn bubbles and a unicorn glider but also includes a unicorn puzzle book, unicorn crayons, unicorn maze and unicorn pinball game.

Or, if you want to XL the bags, there is a small fee for this.

You’ll get everything mentioned above from both bags put together to make a very chunky gift bag, on top of this you also get a pack of unicorn tattoos and a miniature box of unicorn playing cards!!

That’s 6 additional items – meaning you get 12 unicorn themed items instead of the standard 6 pieces. ♡

Arranging the bags of your choice is easy, just send us a message.

If no preference if specified we will always choose what we believe to be the best option from the first two.

Happy Birthday Ruby

We just want to say a massive Happy Birthday to little Ruby who’s mam (Zoey) bought her one of our “Complete Magical Unicorn” outfits especially for today.

We think you look gorgeous Ruby and you make an excellent unicorn.

debate, discussion, Unicorn

Let’s discuss this…

Okay so there is no prize, it’s just for fun, but what would your answer be and why?

This is quite the dilemma!

We think it must be B because A would move when she walked.

Our friend Chris agrees but his logic is based on something a bit different “If she wore it like A then she’d poop on it!”

We think you could be right Chris 😂.

What does everyone else think? Let us know your answer along with your reasons in the comments below.

And if you have enjoyed this discussion, then feel free to share our post on your social media accounts so that your friends can join in the debate too.

Handmade with l♡ve

We like to go over and above for our customers and we’re always looking for ways to stand out from the crowd.

So we had this idea that something handmade by ourselves would be a lovely personal touch to the party services that we offer.

We wanted to do something that showed our time, effort and care had been spent on our customers, rather than just something which would end up bumping up the cost of the parties. Eventually we decided upon creating handmade cards for those who celebrate their birthdays with us.

After all, we feel it is a privellage for us to be chosen out of all of the other companies for such a special event. There are some amazing services on offer and it’s a really competitive market to be in.

So, here we’re going to show you a few that we made earlier this week. Although card making is a hobby for one of our family mambers, Leanne, she hasn’t made any in a very long time up until now. They’re also her very first attempt at making unicorn themed cards so we were quite eager to see how they’d turn out.

She’d bought the stamps for them quite innocently, but being a company mainly focused on children’s events we’re a bit unsure if the second one sounds too much like an innuendo for us to use.
It’s not something she had even realised herself until it was pointed out to by her partner, Gareth. Once it was mentioned though, it has changed the way we view that quote.

On the up side, that is one of the good points to having a family run business, we all have eachother to share ideas, suggestions (and constructive criticism) with. None of us could do this alone but together we seem to just make it work.

These cards pictured were all initially supposed to be going to customers of the Ultimate Sleepover Company, but after careful consideration, well maybe just 3 of them will be now 🙈

Let us know what you think in the comments below. We love to get feedback and hear your thoughts on our products and services x

Never too old

This week we have sold a mountain of unicorn headbands through our Facebook site.

A couple had been for kids, a few for the older teens, and some even for mothers.

So it got us thinking, who even said unicorn headbands are just for a certain age group anyway?

Like, they look absolutely stunning on just about anyone, even on pets and teddy bears!

We all still have that inner child left in us somewhere, right? And okay, admittedly we pinched these pics from Google images, but have a browse through them and let us know your opinion on it all.

Would you wear one? And how old is too old in your opinion? Or, how young is too young even?

We think they all look absolutely fantastic ♡

The Unicorn Headband Range – Something for all Budgets

We’ve been trialling various headbands lately and have decided to stick with a few of them so that we have something to suit every budget.

All of our headbands can be purchased as optional extras for children attending our Unicorn Dreams parties or as stand alone items if you don’t have a party booked with us.

Named “Instant Unicorn” because it reminds us of the infamous Snapchat pig filter, where everyone felt instantly gorgeous when they applied it, this is one of our smaller headbands with the most value for money.
A perfect addition to any unicorn costume and pairs well with a rainbow pastel tutu. Named “Magical Fantasy” as that’s exactly how we see it, this is our most popular item from the children’s headband range and is mid range on the price scale.
“Sequins and Roses” is another one of the headbands from our unicorn range. Named “Sequins and Roses” to represent the beauty and quality of the product, this is one of our higher end children’s headbands and more popular with customers who aren’t on a budget.

So, What do you think?

We hope you like the selection we have decided to stick with. Why not leave us a comment and let us know your thoughts? Good or bad, we want to hear them. That is mostly how we could improve our services afterall, or keep doing what works well!

We may even add to this range as our business grows.

Blue is the colour

We’ve had to slightly delay the new football theme for a short while, so all of our focus is on Unicorn Dreams at the moment.

We find this theme to be so beautiful and all of us love styling and setting up the parties, but I must admit, the 2 x Dream teepees are my absolute personal favourite from the set.

The blue glitter cushion goes so well with the cover. Once the white unicorn hot water bottle gets placed on there too it’s an amazing set up.

What do you guys think, which is your favourite from the set? We love hearing your views on what we offer. Any suggestions or requests are always welcomed.

A Reaction Video – Zoe

Little Zoe and her friends are obsessed with unicorns.

Zoe knew she had a surprise behind the door but had no idea what to expect.

She’d waited so patiently until things were ready and her reaction says it all really!!,

We are so pleased she had a great time with her friends celebrating her 8th birthday.

Such a lovely bunch of young ladies to meet, it was a real pleasure, and Zoe has already asked if we would come back for her 9th birthday.

We’d love nothing more Zoe ♡

Glitter and Sparkles

We love glitter cushions and glitter accessories. Infact we just love anything shiny or sparkley.

We try to keep the Unicorn Dreams theme as girly and pretty as possible. Like every little girl’s dream.

Our next theme is going to be the polar opposite but for now we are concentrating on building this one up as much as we can.

Sleepover Success!

We love the pics we’ve been sent from little Zoe’s 8th birthday party last night, we are so pleased she had a great time with her friends.

It was a challenge to fit all of the teepee tents in but where there is a will, there is a way and we got there in the end!

💡Remember if there isn’t the room for the tables then we can always fold them flat onto the bottom of the matresses at a push.

Such a lovely bunch of young ladies to meet, it was a real pleasure ♡

Let’s clear things up!

Let me begin by saying I’m not normally one to complain, but I must admit I’m feeling pretty disheartened today.

You know when they say the actions of others can spoil it for everybody? Well that is exactly what’s happening in this line of business right now. I think I speak for a few of us when I say this.

Now let me just point out that there are loads of companies doing the same thing and there is enough room for all of us. I genuinely do support others who do this too and I love to network and share ideas, outside of my immediate area of course.

However, I have noticed that aswell as some excellent and very inspirational businesses, there are also a few shady and poor quality ones too. And it’s because of those poor quality set ups why people think we are all the same.

We get comments about others being cheaper (cheaper isn’t always better you guys) or “Why hire these out when we could buy them for less” etc. So here I’m going to reiterate a point I’ve made before. It is true, just not true of those shady businesses who are money greedy and want to rip you off. Quality is only important to those who actually care about the services they provide.

So….

Just to clarify, our teepee tents are not the same as those you can buy in toy shops.
Neither are they as small as toyshop teepees. And of course they are not the quality of toy shop teepee tents either.
We have had our teepee tents specifically made for business use, they’re a lot taller and stronger than toy tents.
In a similar way to the home bouncy castles you can buy for children are not the same as those you hire for birthday parties.

Toy teepee tents are great for the home and we dont fault them at all, but they ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR COMMERCIAL USE. Nor would they have space to accommodate a bed and an older child.

No reputable company should hire those out to you, they’d literally be cheaper to buy.

You will come across businesses who are using these tiny little things but not mentioning lack of space inside, leaving you feeling dissapointed and slightly cheated once they arrive. Undoubtedly they will be far cheaper too.

And again, cheaper to buy your own! But please do not think this is what we are all doing.

Some of us pay hundreds per tent once the full set up is added. There is a reason for the price but this is also how you will get a great quality evening for the children.

We don’t all cut corners and our teepees have added safety features too. Theres alot more work goes into our set ups than meets the eye. If you want to know more about this, we are very approachable, please get intouch ♡

Happiness is….

We all remember being young and the excitement of sleeping over at a friend’s house. Some of the best memories we have with our friends are from sleepover parties.

That’s one of the reasons why we chose this as a business venture. Something new and exciting combined with the traditional slumber party experiences which are remembered forever.

We’re feeling a tad nostalgic just thinking back to those days. Hopefully there will be adults in the future who remember their childhood parties with us and smile as they reminisce ♡

“Hi, my name is Neville and I need a new home”

Neville was initially bought as a mascot for our Unicorn Dreams themed parties. However, we quickly realised that a white unicorn wouldn’t last too long at all of these parties so we’ve decided he would be happier in a loving home with a great little owner who could take care of him.

Breakfast Boxes

You can now add a themed breakfast box for each child at the party. This makes the morning after so much easier.

We know how stressful kids parties can be, so we plan to take out as much of the hassle as we possibly can.

The kid’s breakfast boxes are a convenient way to feed all those extra mouths without having to cook or clean a dish. The most you’ll have to do is add milk!!

The contents of boxes may vary but will typically include items such as disposable cups, themed bowls and spoons.

Food items may include a small box of cereal, a carton of fresh fruit juice and a fun snack for afters.

If the children have any particular dietary requirements, then please let us know at the time of booking and we will do our best to accommodate them.

To find out more about this, please visit our “Additional Services” section from the main menu.

Discounts

We often run various specials and discounts.

Keep an eye on this blog for any temporary offers but also if you check our “Specials” section in the main menu, this is where you will find permenant discounts such as 50% off your second night and those all important discounts for our heroes ♡

Recognising our heroes was a very important step for us to include.

Our heroes do so much for us, they give up Christmas time with loved ones, they sleep over at work when the weather is too bad to get in the following day, they give up on pay rises for years, they hold our hands when we are dying, clean up our mess and risk their own lives.

Our heroes are true heroes ♡
