The beautiful sunshine of summer is sparkling and the days are filled with plans, park playdates, and enjoying the great outdoors. If you could capture the essence of summertime, I’m convinced it would include sandy beaches, clear water, and a fancy umbrellaed drink. Unfortunately, this scene may not always be a reality, but thanks to Coke, you can spread a little joy during Happy Hour each day!
In an attempt to bottle up summertime fun, I put together a Bucket of Summertime Joy, starting with a bottle of Coke. I headed to Walgreens and noticed that there were several areas to find the name you’re looking for. You can find a front display near the registers or you can look in the coolers. I suggest looking in both to find the name you’re looking for.
I’m a huge fan of Coke marriages and once I found my brother & sister-in-law, I put the bottles together, so they wouldn’t be lonely. I have yet to find my name, but I probably need to look harder.
Every Wednesday through Friday from 4:00 to 7:00pm, Buy 1 Coca-Cola 20 oz. bottle and Get 1 Free 20 oz. bottle to share which makes #ShareaCoke marriages all the more simple to pull off.

May through July you get 3,000 Balance Rewards points when you buy participating Coca-Cola products when you purchase $10 of participating Coca-Cola products.
I searched a bit more and once again stumbled upon another of my favorite couples, Sarah Cupcakes + Rhyno. It was a Coke match made in heaven.
After finding the perfect bottles, I headed to the seasonal aisle and snagged all the essentials for putting together the perfect summer day – Life’s a Beach with this Summer Bucket of Joy!
I managed to find this special bottle. Even though I don’t personally know anyone named Joy, this bottle works perfectly for my purposes — Share a Coke WITH JOY! Pass along the goodness with a dose of happiness + smile on your face.
Whether you’re passing this bucket along to a stranger or giving to a friend, select items that best reflect the perfect summer day to you! As I said earlier, my ideal day includes a trip to the beach, so this bucket is a reflection of that!
1. Sand Pail + Shovel: Perfect for building sandcastles and scooping water
2. Beach Towel
3. Aloe Vera: For combatting sunburn and soothing skin redness
4. Lip Balm
5. A mini-kite (love this for fun!)
6. Bubbles
7. Share a Coke bottle
8. Sunscreen
You might also consider including a Summer Sandbucket List for your recipient (or yourself!) to check off all the summertime activities to enjoy. {Printable here!}
If you find a name you love, consider replacing it in your Joy bucket so that you can personalize it for someone in your life who could use a little summer love. I can’t wait to share this Summer Bucket of Joy with my friend, Laura. I’ll be sharing a Coke with Joy to someone who could use a pick-me-up in the coming weeks, so I’m saving that one.
Who would you Share a Coke with in your Summer Bucket of Joy?
