Do you ever do little random acts of kindness? I like to make it a habit for my kids to pay it forward. If I buy them a pack of pencils for school, I ask them to take two and share the rest with their classmates. I take baked goods to my job once a week for my co-workers to enjoy a little something. I love to share it forward and I love the element of surprise!
When I went grocery shopping the other day, I noticed that there was a 32-can pack of Coca-Cola. Right away, I knew I could do something cute with all these Coke cans. I could share a Coke with everyone (since there were so many!) By the way, I absolutely love the nicknames on the Coke cans. They are so fun!!
I asked Adrian to make a list of people that we could Share a Coke with. On the list were teachers at his school and his soccer coach. Then I added a couple of my friends and co-workers to the list. I sat at my computer and created some cute printable "I'm SODA-lighted" tags for the cans. I also made sure to put the cans in the fridge. There's nothing like an ice-cold Coke. YUM!!
I printed and cut out tags and tied them to the can with some bakers twine and a straw. Simple right? We took them with us to the soccer fields on Saturday and passed them out to the all the coaches after the games.
I also created tags for my friends. I took some and passed them out at work to my co-workers. They were pleasantly surprised!
I know Teacher Appreciation week just passed but I also made sure to include teachers in my tags. Teachers work so hard with our children and they deserve little surprises throughout the year.
I know I could have just passed out cold Coke cans but I wanted to add that special touch. The printables only took me a few minutes to create and I think it makes gifting more personal. All you need to do is download, print the tags out on cardstock and attach to your cans. It's so simple yet a great way to surprise someone with a treat!
The 32-can packs are available at Sam's Club. There will be a demo coming to all Sam's Club locations on May 17th between 11 am and 4pm. Coca-Cola will be sharing a Coke with you at the demo!! Full cans of Coke, Diet Coke and Coke Zero will be available but only in limited quantities so get to Sam's Club quickly to pick up your Coke!
