Ireland Top 5 themed parties for boys 2012


When parents are planning a party for their young boy’s birthday it is always worth knowing what is popular. TV shows and movies continue to be the biggest factor when it comes to popularity. Old favourites continue to be popular while ‘new kids on the block’ come through each year and then fade away.
TheBigParty.ie is Ireland’s number one online retailer of themed party decorations and tableware so are particularly well placed to assess what is hot and what is not! Themed parties outsell generic product by a wide margin.
Based on sales the top 5 for 2012 are as follows:
1.       Toy Story
3.       Thomas the Tank Engine
4.       Mickey Mouse
5.       Cars

 
Also popular throughout the year were Fireman Sam & Camouflage. In addition the Soccer Themes are a big favourite with Manchester United coming out on top in that category.
Meanwhile themes such as Ben 10 and Spiderman faded in popularity and probably need a new show or movie to get the young children interested in them again.
Across all the themes customers are increasingly looking for value and the party pack range which offers all you need for a party with up to 16 guests for €29.95 proved very popular in 2012. Whatever theme is the big winner in 2013 it is clear that young boy’s will continue to want their favourite to be a feature of their party.
