Party Resource: Imagination Lane NYC

partylikearockstar_1024x1024Every parent can attest to the stressful experience of running around to different stores to get everything they need for their child’s birthday party. Until now, it has always been understood that as one’s child’s birthday approaches, the party planning stress and frustration begins to hit. Putting all of her creative talents and skills together, Deanna Magenheim has combined her two creative businesses, Let’s Gogh Art NYC and Imagination Lane NYC, to create an adorable one-stop boutique haven that has all of your gift and party planning needs.

The recent launch of Imagination Lane NYC (imaginationlanenyc.com) is a blessing to all mommies and daddies who have felt the pressure of planning the perfect party for their children. Imagination Lane has integrated Let’s Gogh Art’s birthday party and class options, along with carefully selected retail products that are sure to be a hit for the little ones and those of us still little at heart.

The site offers different art class options for children as young as 18 months. Options include “Paint, Scribble, Wiggle and Giggle,” which is meant for the 18 months- 2.5 years age group, and features a combination of crafts, games and singing and dancing. Another option is “Passport to Creativity,” which is meant for the 3-5 year old age group, and provides children the opportunity to create different forms of art from all over the world while using a map to locate the countries from which the art projects originate.

Imagination Lane gets even more creative with the cute and fun birthday party theme options that it has to offer, some of which are: “Get Your Glam On, ”Life’s A Beach,” “Princess & Knight for a Day,” “Superheroes Save the Day,” etc. Each of these parties lasts 60 minutes and will be run by super fun and energetic party hosts, making the day less stressful and more fun for mom and dad too.

Magenheim, who is Chief Creativity Officer at Let’s Gogh Art NYC and the Owner and Founder of Imagination Lane NYC, explained that she wanted to create a boutique “that would suit the tastes of the most discerning of clients looking for kids items that are a touch more sophisticated and different—while also appealing to people’s sense of not wanting to spend a fortune.” Imagination Lane’s retail section could not have been described better. The shop offers a plethora of gift options, party favors, room décor, toys, games, crafts, and more. All of which are fun and sophisticated, and can conveniently be located in one place!
