I Think You’re “Soda” Great Cola-themed Valentine’s Day Printable

If you need a fun classroom-themed Valentine for your child to give to their friends, this free printable is for you!

Are you a fan of the Soda Shoppe Valentine’s Day printables I shared earlier this week? I have one more soda-themed valentine for you. My son loved the idea of giving candy wax bottles to his buddies at school, but he was kind of hoping for a more cola inspired theme and wanted it to read “soda great” instead of “soda sweet.” You don’t want to send the wrong message in 2nd grade, apparently.

Soda great cola-inspired Valentine's Day printable

When you need to send some Valentine’s treats for your kid’s classroom party, how often do you turn to the usual boxed ones, and just add a small box of candy or a sweet lollipop? While this is fun and very acceptable for us busy moms, I have a fun printable for you that will help your child stand out in the crowd.

The best part is that you can use this with different kinds of “soda” candy, from candy bottle caps, wax bottles, or cola gummies and it’ll be great. Simply bag your candy, add the printable, and you are ready to go!

I love that this printable will work for any age. It’s great for a teacher gift, neighbor gift, or anyone else you want to share the day and love with. The best part is that it is FREE for my subscribers to download and use!

Princess Party Favors: Candy Necklace Cards

Planning Eve’s birthday party each year is always so much fun coming up with new themes. And this year we’re doing a Princess Birthday Party. Making adorable decorations and favor bags has been a blast. Get all the details on how to make these Princess party favor candy necklace cards for your next party!

Princess Party Ideas

There are so many princess birthday party ideas flooding the internet. After wading through endless princess stuff, I decided to use more of a traditional princess theme rather than a Disney princess party. I knew I wanted some custom party favors, but I didn’t really find anything out there I loved for purchase, so I decided I needed to create my own.

First up was the princess crown Candy Button favors. I love the nostalgic feel of the old-fashion candy combined with ultimate princess accessory.

Next up, candy necklace cards. These cute candy cards were the hit of the party. The girls just couldn’t love them more. Who wouldn’t love candy jewelry, right?
