I've Got A CRUSH On You!

Every February back in high school the junior class sold Crush cans. You could send them to teachers, friends or your crush. For $1 you sent a can and for $2 you could send a can and block that you sent it. After much anticipation, all the Crush cans were placed in mailboxes on Valentine's day and as a recipient you could then pay to find out who sent all yours cans (unless of course your crush blocked it). This was SO much fun (as well a small confidence boost) and incredibly popular that I have since always wanted to hand out Crush cans to my friends. Well, this year I finally got around to making two little printables to tie on the cans and I was so pleased with how everything turned out that I wanted to share with with you all.
"I've got a CRUSH on you!" was the first printable I made. I went with the pink and orange theme since the cans are orange and Valentine's day is all about the pink in my book. I bought a 12 pack for Crush for $2.50 at my local Target so this is a very affordable Valentine option for classmates or friends.
I think the second printable would be fun to secretly leave in neighbors mailboxes or at coworkers desks.
"You've been CRUSHed" might just be the new doorbell ditch in my hood :)


Since a bunch of people seem to be having issues with downloading past printables I have included the jpg images above for convenience. You should be able to click the image and then save it from the slide show. Here is a set of tags all ready to go and all sized to work with punches as well:

Enjoy and who knows, this might just help you find out that someone new has a CRUSH on you :)

Oh my goodness! This is the cutest!!! I wish I could do this for my new friends here in Edinburgh (I'm studying abroad...), but I'm pretty sure they don't sell Crush here!

Melissa said...

OMG...I LOVE this idea! I think I might just have to do it for my co-workers!

Anna H said...

such a fun idea!

I think this is just too fun. At my high school, you could buy single long-stemmed roses to have delivered to people -- but the Crush idea is cuter and way less cheesy. :)

this is the cutest thing I've ever seen! you inspired me to order a 12 pack of Crush (which is a bit more expensive in the UK than @ Target - but well worth it!) for my husband and the kids for a little Valentine's treat! Many thanks for the idea and the darling printable, too! xo

I always love your printables! At our school they sold carnations, which is much less fun than Crush!

southernbellejm said...

So cute!!! I starred this post as a suggestion for a Valentine's fundraiser for next year at school:)

I totally gave a Sig Ep a six pack of grape Crush freshman year during serenades at the Kappa House. He had no idea I existed previously to that night, but we dated for like, 3 months afterward.

Totally brought back the memory!

Melissa said...

I am planning on mentioning this post in my own blog post tomorrow, with a link back to your original post. I hope that's ok, if not let me know.
