Greer's OC

We just discovered Party All the Time! a new boutique in Corona del Mar that’s best described as a combination of Anthropologie, Where’s The Party? and Roger’s Gardens.

Three-sister-in-laws opened the shop a few months ago, and locals are going crazy for its affordable mix of gifts and party supplies that's unlike anything in Corona del Mar. You can run in and find a gift in the $20 to $30 range in no time, and if you’re planning a party you’ll find glittery fun birthday décor, invitations, wrapping, cards, a candy buffet and more.

Choose from Easter decor (currently), seaside-themed gifts, princess-inspired items, baby gifts, Oprah’s favorite Lafca candles, Caspari paper products, beautiful-festive jewelry and scarves (priced $12-$15). 

Unique items include Govino go anywhere shatterproof and recyclable wine glasses, solar powered patio lanterns, and fun succulent balls, wreaths, turtles, even giant clam-filled containers. There’s even a section counter for helium balloons.

Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday.

2747 East Coast Highway in Corona del Mar. 949.675.2506.
