We can’t wait for the Golden Globes on Sunday. They should be extra-fun this year with Ricky Gervais hosting! Plus, it’s always a good excuse to throw a party....

Make your GG party special by giving guests celebrity “swag bags” -- you don’t have to spend a lot on them, just pick up goodies from the dollar store like gold stars, candy and top hats. Another fun idea? Ask your guests to come dressed as their favorite nominee’s character. We’re thinking a little makeup is all we need for a fake black eye—and voila, we’re Micky (or Dicky, whichever brother you prefer) from The Fighter!
