This Saturday is the annual $1 flip-flop sale at Old Navy. There is a limit of 5 per customer, so if you would like more than that bring a friend. Last year I brought my 5-year-old son and he was allowed to purchase 5 as well. This is such a great idea for party favors (last year I used them for a baby shower favor) or to add into any birthday gift you may be giving this summer. The flip-flops come in all colors and sizes but get there early because they will sell out!
This is the picture of how I used them for the baby shower… I bought pink, purple, white and fuchsia colored flip-flops in different sizes, I put a pink ribbon on it then a little baby rubber ducky on top.
