Nothing beats a good celebration. The process of decorating and planning celebrations is stressful however, as hosts have a plethora of tasks to complete before the day of the event. They have to figure out a theme, run between stores to find the supplies they’re looking for, decorate, and clean up once it’s all over.

Introducing POP, an online service concept where users can customize and order party supply packs, getting rid of the hassle of searching for and transporting supplies. Some supplies can also be returned, cutting down potential household clutter. We combine convenience with creativity to turn every occasion into an effortless affair.
