Christmas Gifts for Coca-Cola Collectors

Where to Find Those One of a Kinds

LC
Do you have a Coca-Cola collector in your family? Why not give them one of these great gift ideas: Coca-Cola was introduced back in 1886. Oddly, it was originally intended to be patened as a medicine. But when John Pemberton brought his invention to a business man known as Asa Griggs Candler, the first Coca-Cola president. He used his wonderful marketing tactics and made Coke what it is today. Coca-Cola is now a well known, global industry that offers hundreds of brands, but it is mostly known by those colors, red and white,. These eye catching colors dramatically make it stand out. It has been said that Coca-Cola advertising actually helped shape the Christmas idea of what Santa is in the publics eye. Back in 1931 the Coca-Cola company began using magazine ads to feature the jolly St. Nick as an eye catcher and it worked. Coca-Cola's creation of Santa was widely seen throughout the world. But the Coca-Cola Santa hasn't always appeared as he does now. Before 1931 artist Haddon Sundblom, drew portrayed Santa in many different ways such as big, small, fat and tall. He even drew him as an elf once. But this idea turned out to be creepy as people found this a bit spooky. Christmas advertising for the Coca-Cola company began back in the 1920's. And lately avid collectors love daunting the task of hunting for these vintage memorabilia Coca-Cola products everywhere from yard sales to online auctions such as eBay. It is a treat when they find authentic vintage Coca-Cola items to add to their collection. But for those who can't afford these highly collectible vintage products, or simply don't have the time to hunt for them, companies everywhere are offering new Coca-Cola products such as blankets, reproduction metal advertising signs, glasses, just about everything you can think of. I should know, I too, have a Coca-Cola collector in my family. And being the great Aunt that she is, I am setting off on my yearly task of finding her that special gift to add to her collection.

    Great article! There is a really nice Coca-Cola store in Niagara Falls. One cheap gift idea is Mexican Coca-Cola, which is sold in a lot of Latin stores and uses sucrose, not high fructose corn syrup. It's great!
