Thanks for the link. My dd is always looking for something to give to friends for their b-days. She might like these!!
I found this quote...
Here's a start... I could not find a pic...

Oh YEAH!! I remember them! They started being made when I was in elementary school- no real rhyme or reason to the items except person's favorite candy. It was a HUGE bow- with the streamers hanging down. When I got to High school it was all over your locker- a bunch of different bows stuck all over full of candy! Really was fun.
But now with all the healthy rules at schools I would bet ours would implode if my dd showed up with candy bows!!
From LI and went to an All girls high school!
I bet I taught at that same all girls HS. Was it across from A&S??
We did this in my school too except we did it a little differantly. We cut out the b-day girls initial out of cardboard and covered it in tin foil and then glued candy and ribbons to it. This was LI also.
Not that one- think Syosset.
I'm east coast too (grrew up in Queens, NY) and I remember these. When i turned 16 I had 6 of them given to me! I haven't seen them in years. I will check around the house to see if I have a picture of me wearing one.
I remember these - all the popular girls got them. Since I was not popular I never got one!
In Wisconsin we did these only for 16 and 18. 16 was sugar cubes and 18 was beer bottle tops.
(My kids are incredulous that there was a different age for legally drinking beer and hard alcohol).
What a blast from the past!!! My mom would get us one every year! I remember 1 had peanuts on it,tootsie rolls, lifesavers,bazooka gum- I have no idea what they meant,but they were fun to get every year!
