Box of Sunshine

A Box of Sunshine!

I found this wonderful idea on Pinterest. Here are to links to these sites for more ideas... Happy Money Saver and Preserving Life's Moments.

I put together a Box of Sunshine for my sister. It was so fun walking around Walmart choosing fun yellow and happy items: Lemon Cookies; Burt's Bees Lip Balm; bath scrubbies; lemon hard candy; honeysuckle candle; yellow lollipops; Pretzel Combos with cheese; a CD; pot holders; a water bottle. Not pictured, I also added a couple Lemonade Capri Suns.

All the items were put in a USPS Medium Flat Rate Box. So no worry about how heavy the box was getting!

Boxed and read to mail!

Here is a Box of Sunshine I put together for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. Never know what to send her, but I hope she will enjoy opening this box! She's diabetic, so I included sugar free items. Here are some of the items included: sugar free lemon pudding and Jello; Crystal Light candies; Dove Sugar free dark chocolate; decaf teabags; honeysuckle candle; crossword puzzles; Goldfish; Crystal Light Lemon Raspberry drink packets; raisins; box of Tomato Basil soup; yellow dishtowels, dishcloths and pot holder. I purchased the tissue paper and cellophane at the .99 store.

Again, all the items were put in a USPS Medium Flat Rate Box. So no worry about how heavy the box was getting!

 

Boxed and ready to mail!

My lunch group also put together a "Box of Sunshine" for a friend who needed a lift. We all brought in some yellow or happy items to put in the box. Someone else put it together so I  don't have a picture, but it was so fun because we all contributed something different.

Here is the graphic I used to print the Sunshine on yellow paper. I inserted the .jpg into a Word document. Copied and pasted it several times in different sizes. On the largest one, I inserted a text box to write a message and chose to have no fill or outline. Then printed on yellow paper and cut them out. Ok...it was not really fun cutting them out, but they turned out pretty cute!

This is such a fun idea and the possibilities are endless!
