Cooler Gifts!

Emma, The Cooler Girl herself and a beloved Sassy Sponsor, painted my sister a cooler for helping her out with her cooler website!

How cute did it turn out?! I am OBSESSED! While she credited me with helping her out pick the designs, I hardly did ANYTHING and left about 98% of the heavy lifting up to Emma! I think it turned out amazingly and I love how personalized to Grace it is: America, Auburn, her sorority, her school and a little bit of Maryland flair!

There are a few collegiate events where coolers are THE thing to have: Mountain Weekend, Beach Weekend, Birthdays, Big/Little Reveal, and (cue angels singing "ahhhhhh") Carolina Cup!

Cup is right around the corner and I cannot wait! People have started getting their dresses for Cup and I'm sure plenty of gals are planning how to paint their coolers this far in advance!

One of my favorite sides from my own cooler was the madras side which would be PERFECT for Carolina Cup!

Year of Birthdays

You're probably asking yourself, "Well, isn't every year the year of the birthdays?" Well yes, but this year I'm a junior which means the birthday that everyone gets the most excited about in college: turning 21! I often get questions about what to get for your friends for their 21st birthdays! Here are some of my suggestions:

Customized shot glasses: I got these for three guy friends last year and they all loved them! They all got 2 glasses: 1 personalized with their monograms and 1 personalized with something funny between us!

A season of their favorite show or a DVD of their favorite movie! This is ALWAYS a crowd pleaser!

Monogrammed Wine Glasses from The Cooler Girl (a fabulous friend of mine!)

Food gift cards! I know gift cards have a bit of an impersonal stigma associated with them, but give them a book of coupons and say you're taking them to the specific place. Need a reason to take this certain someone on a date? ...Sounds like a perfect plan to me!

The Bubbly! This gives you a fun reason to toast (or roast!) your friends at their birthday bash!

Local concert tickets! A bunch of my friends have birthdays the week before THIS GUY comes to town. Too bad I don't give away ANY birthday surprises! I do expect to see y'all all there though!

I saw this concoction on Pinterest a few days ago and it sparked my idea for this post! Too funny! Seems like something a Grandma might do!

What did you give your friends for their 21st birthday? Anything fun?
