Sweet Dreams

Love the party-in-a-box concept? Naples-born KidsDreamFactory takes it to the next level with its range of pop-up sleepovers, outdoor movie nights, spa parties, glamping kits and other immersive experiences for little ones. You can choose from 20 themes—including Star Wars, Sports and Under the Sea—or develop your own, and the team will take care of everything. For a backyard slumber party, for example, they may show up to your home with handmade teepees, plush mattresses, cushions, picnic tables, rugs and decor. German transplant Sabine Schroeder, a former physician assistant, launched the company in 2018 inspired by her daughter. Schroeder had already been planning children’s parties for years and wanted to elevate the experience, while taking all the stress away from parents. The idea, she says, is to create gatherings that are “memorable for the children, while also being incredibly Instagramable for the parents.”
