It’s official, the Fall Soccer Season is over. Phew, we made it! I’m excited to have my Saturdays back as well as my Wednesday and Thursday late afternoon/evenings back, too (at least until Spring time!) My son’s coach asked me if I could make up the End-of-the-Season Gifts for each of the players on the team. With limited funds and also knowing I hate all the little trinkets my kids get that lay around our house, I was on a mission to try to avoid that. Initially, I found some great 4″ soccer balls at Target and was so excited because they were CHEAP and looked great–but they only had 2 and I needed 12! Boo. Even with the numerous Target stores in our area, I was unable to find enough so plan B…Amazon! Not quite as cheap (nor as well made!) I found some similar 4″ soccer balls that would fit the bill.
With the little bit of money I had left over, I decided to get some Hershey’s Chocolate Bars and wrap them up in a stamped candy bar wrapper complete with a foam soccer ball for added dimension. Needless to say, these were a hit! One player even referenced the possibility of a golden ticket in the wrapper from Willy Wonka…not something I even thought of, but could be a great idea for future ones for sure!
