Goldfish Smiles Across the Miles

What do you send to fabulous family FULL of kiddos with summer birthdays?

Customized Goldfish gift boxes - that's what! 

Knowing the Goldfish party cups were such a hit with my son's class as his bday treat, I was excited to create these birthday boxes on GoldfishMyWay.com to send to our far-away friends.

The site takes you through a short and sweet five step process to choose your occasion, write a message, upload a photo, pick your colors (yes - you get to choose the colors!), and then choose size and quantity.

The hardest part of the whole process for me was choosing which photo! Luckily, you can choose two full color photos - one for the front and the back to go along with your personal message - so that makes the decision a wee bit easier.

I decided on the large gift box and then a set of 12 party favor boxes so that each kiddo would have two each. (You probably just did the math - yep, six amazing kiddos and an equally amazing mama!)

My dear friend had no idea that a giant Goldfish box would be arriving on their doorstep so both she and the kids were really surprised when they opened it up to see their smiling faces on the packaging!

And, of course, it made me smile to be tagged in her facebook status later that day -

Got the COOLEST Goldfish Birthday box from some friends today. The kids are loving their personalized boxes. Too stinking cute! Thanks Kelli Perkins!

Such a fun gift to give! Thanks Goldfish My Way - brillant idea!

Goldfish Cup Stacking, Anyone?

 A major perk to working with Pepperidge Farm Goldfish is getting to try out cool new products like these awesome NEW party cups from GoldfishMyWay.com.

It was no surprise that as soon as we opened the giant Goldfish-speckled box, my boy started stacking....

 Well, first we stuffed the vanilla cupcake graham packages into these colorful cups (his birthday treat request for his buddies at school), and then he started stacking...

He even had a little game of Goldfish Jenga going on - funny kid.

 I think he must have played with those cups for at least a half an hour before we packed them up to take to school the next day. It was fun to watch him pass them out at lunch time and see those first grade faces light up - "Wow!... Cool!... I've never seen these before!" The party cups were a great alternative from the regular birthday cupcakes that come in almost every week.

And if you think these party cups are cool, you have to check out the personalized gift boxes you can order too! I actually sent am planning to order a set of those to send to a friend and her kiddos for their summer birthdays. The website is so easy to navigate, I am sure the hardest part will be deciding on which photo to use!
