What Caught My Eye: A Bomb Pop Fourth!

The classic Bomb Pop–the red, white and blue popsicle beloved by Baby Boomers and those just after them, is my signature motif for July 4th, 2017. I love it! Here in the Midwest anything ice that looks like this is called a “bomb pop” even if it’s not authentic.  Here, then, are all the great bomb pop things that Caught My Eye This Week.

This great Personality-Filled Producer Sleeveless Top in Ice Pops by Modcloth is my absolute favorite item with a bomb pop theme! Since I am not hosting a party this year and since the budget is tight, I couldn’t justify it, though I really, really wanted it. I hope one of you will buy it and enjoy it! Such a fun print!

Here’s a super bomb pop t-shirt I found on Etsy, handmade and available from ShopLoveAndBambii. Great “pop” on the graphic, don’t you think? It comes on a variety of different colored t-shirts.

Zazzle offers these Patriotic USA Fireworks nail wraps with the iconic pops! They look great mixed with the fireworks, don’t they?

Champagne Bomb Pop Cocktails! I like the look of these best, but you can serve them in plastic cups or even the ubiquitous red Solo party cups

Desert–AFTER serving the Popsicle Bomb Pops earlier!

It’s a party! Sugar is required! So, serve the real thing–the authentic Bomb Pops (capital B, capital P) when they kids start whining about how hot it is. Then, for desert, serve these cool cupcakes!

Clean Sticky Fingers

After Bomb Pops, cupcakes and fireworks, scrub hands with Bomb Pop Sugar Scrub!
