I recently had the opportunity to try out some new sodas from a popular northwest company, Jones Soda company, based out of Seattle! I hadn’t ever tried their sodas out before, although I’ve seen them frequently at Target and have been wanting to try them. I have to tell you that I seriously am not a big soda drinker – I rarely drink soda, I’m just a plain jane, water kind-of gal.
But, I tell ya, I honestly really enjoyed each of the Jones Soda’s that I tried! They were delicious!! We tried 3 flavors – Rootbeer, Cream and Orange Cream–ahh, the orange cream was my favorite!! Not to sound like a commercial, but the taste was very smooth and tasted much lighter than most sodas–not as thick and syrupy-tasting as I think many of the rootbeer & cream sodas can taste. They have so many fun flavors, too – I’m going to have to go out and get some of their more unusual flavors to try out – such as Fufu Berry and Crushed Melon since I love fruity drinks. The best part to me – their drinks are made with pure cane sugar – no high fructose corn syrup!!
Not only does Jones Soda sell these great tasting drinks, they also look cool with their fun, unique labels on glass bottles! They actually use real-life photos that people submit on their website to add uniqueness to their labels! It’s totally free to submit photos – check it out here to see details on how to do that!
Another cool option, though, is to create your own customizable labels with the flavor you want and use them to commemorate a special event or maybe just for a fun party with friends!! You can submit your favorite picture, pick out the perfect flavor and even add a quote on the back!
Here are some fun ideas for how you could use these customizable bottles::
-1st birthday party
-Retirement party -have a picture of the retiree and a special quote on the back–you can make it funny or serious
-Wedding favors (this could get quite pricey-so for those who are planning a more frugal wedding-you could have some on display in various locations around the reception).
-Mother’s Day or Father’s Day present
-Family reunion or class reunion
-4th of July party or Summer BBQ
Jones Soda actually did a sample of what a few of my pictures would look like on their bottles to give you some ideas of what it looks like – I chose pictures for a 1st birthday party, Father’s Day present, and Girls’ Night Out. Aren’t they fun?!
So, here’s the cool part – as you know, we’re all about finding deals and sales here at Thrifty NW Mom – so Jones Soda has offered a discount code of 20% off for Thrifty NW Mom readers on their customizable labels. Here’s the coupon code:: THRIFTY20. If you’re interested in creating some fun, personalized bottles for a special occasion, it’s very simple to get started – just head on over to My Jones.com and follow the simple instructions on how to create your own labels. The prices are normally $16.99 for a 6 pk and $29.99 for a 12 pk–but with the 20% code, it will be $13.60 for a 6 pk and $24 for a 12 pk.

My "baby" sister is starting college this fall, so I would put a silly photo of my kids, wishing her good luck! And, OF COURSE, I would get root beer, since we both have always enjoyed root beer, and it's our favorite kind of soda.

I am excited about this giveaway and hope I can win it. My maiden name is Jones, and so I have always loved this company. The way I would customize my label is my parents are having their big anniversary coming up and I would want to put a picture of them on it and give one to them and my family members at a nice anniversary dinner. They love Root Beer and Cream Soda. (Trish via email)

Totally FuFu Berry, and I would put a picture of my daughter's ultrasound on the front. (She's expected in October)
I would get Root Beer for my birthday!
I would put a pic of our son at the beach on it & get root beer for him (his fav), drink the root beer then use the bottles as invitations (message in a bottle!) for his upcoming tropical/pirate themed b-day in august. Our last name is Jones so we've already been stocking up a few bottles for his bday, but how much more perfect would this be for his special day?!!!

I love Jones Soda and i would do a mix of Rootbeer, Orange Cream, Berry Lemonade and Black Cherry, because my son loves all of those and it would be great to have them in time for his August Birthday party!!
I'm recovering very slowly from an accident in 2006. I would get new Orange Cola with my boyfriend and care-taker's picture on it. That flavor is like having the best of both worlds…and so is he! *smile* I know he'd love to see his mug on a bottle. What a Super gift idea!
