This year was a special day for my daughter—it was her 13th birthday AND her golden birthday! To celebrate this perfect golden milestone, we threw a fun and cozy golden-themed birthday party right in our basement.
We transformed our living space into a chill hangout and sleeping area with a touch of glam. We already had two twin mattresses from an old bunk bed and two air mattresses from our camping gear, so we laid them all out side by side. To keep the theme going, we picked up some simple gold blankets from Amazon that made the space feel warm and coordinated. For snacks, we got creative and used trays from storage bins as mini snack tables right on the beds—practical and cute!
Now, for the sweet part—my daughter really wanted to make cake-sicles. This was our first time trying them, and I was so impressed by how easy it was with the right tools. We found some amazing cake-sicle molds and used melty candy coatings to give them a smooth, shiny finish.
To top it all off, we scored these golden sparkly resin popsicle sticks at JoAnne’s during their going out of business sale. They were the perfect touch of sparkle and made the treats feel super special.
For the finishing touches, we added a golden sequin dress and hand bedazzled boots for the birthday girl to wear. The balloons, gold curtain backdrop, and “Happy Birthday” balloons came from Walmart, rounding out the golden vibe perfectly.
Overall, it was such a fun and memorable night for the birthday girl and her friends. It wasn’t about a big fancy party but more about making a cozy space full of golden touches that made her feel extra special on this milestone birthday. Her and her friends watched movies, did crafts and played games while hanging out in their cozy space.
If you’re thinking about throwing a golden-themed party or a sleepover with friends, this setup is definitely a winner! Comfortable, cute, and a little bit sparkly—it hits all the right notes.

- Cake-sicle molds: Amazon Cake-sicle Molds, we also got a simple white platter to hold the cake sickles – our resin popsicle sticks were a touch to big, but it would have worked perfect for the typical wooden variety.
- Bedazzle supplies: Varied sizes of gold rhinestones, and B7000 the best bead glue, with tiny needle sized applicators. We’ve bedazzled a LOT of things, and this glue is the best.
