My Favorite Mardi Gras Throws


A recent admirer of The Mardi Gras Girl Blog asked me "Sondra, what are your favorite throws?

For you that are newbies (and that's OK, there's A LOT going on with Mardi Gras) throws are all the cool free stuff that the krewes on in the parades throw out to the adoring crowds.

Had to think on that question for a minute, but believe that beads are my ongoing favorite. But there's other stuff too that's fun like doubloons (customized coins), cups and more. 

While watching the live stream this year saw some reporters announce the Krewe of Zulu in addition to their signature coconuts and other usual throws were also giving out Michael Kors purses and wallets!

So you gotta go to Mardi Gras folks! You never know what's going to happen!


Beads, though, think I'll always love them. Easy to catch and enjoy wearing strands of them during the Carnival Season. Feel free to comment here and share your favorite Mardi Gras throws.
