Keeping up with the Jones'...

...I love giving gifts.  It makes me happy and I search all year long for that one thing that is special and reminds me of the recipient.  So of course, when Christmas comes I am all aflutter as to where I am going to find this special something.  Usually of course, I find it when I'm not looking.  

Last Christmas I was perusing the interwebs, searching, when I came across a Groupon for Jones soda.  (do you  know Groupon? you should check them out) and Jones soda?  they are the ones with the wacky flavours like Turkey and Gravy, they also have great standards like Root Beer and Creme) but I digress.  I saw a Groupon for Jones soda and the deal was that you could design your own private label and order a few cases of your favourite flavour.  Talk about a light bulb moment! 

Not only could I create something special for my family, I could also commemorate the addition to our little group with a label of Maude!! Not only could you upload a picture for the label but you could write a description of the "brand."   Here's our sweet girl;

 and the description:   

Maude's Holiday Elixir

a sweet blend of sunshine and innocence

guaranteed

to cure all your ills

and

put a smile on your heart.



I had so much fun trying out different labels and putting the whole thing together, and mom and dad could not have been more surprised.  And although I chose a flavour that everyone would enjoy no one has yet opened the bottle! 

Always looking for a sweet surprise!  Be kind, choose life, you enough.


This is NOT a sponsored post for Groupon nor Jones Soda.  Neither of these companies know me from Adam and Eve, or Adam and Steve or Steve and Edie...no one.  BUT if they happen to come across this post and want to send some goodies my way I would be happy to write a review!
