Hi Friends! It’s time to brighten someone’s day with a Box Full of Sunshine! There are many reasons to send someone a Sunshine in a Box from Teacher Appreciation, Get Well Soon, Missing You and even Birthday Boxes. Think of a person in your life who could use a bright care package and send them one. Make this the first care package the new college student in your life receives in the dorms.
How to send A Box of Sunshine
The most obvious concept is that everything in the box is supposed to be YELLOW. That’s the Sunshine part. Second, the items you send in the box should be fun and useful like a care package or gift. I tend to go with food because that’s my favorite thing to receive.
Mailing or Dropping Off
Your box can get pretty heavy if you add drinks or breakable gifts. If you’re mailing it I suggest starting with a Flat Rate Priority Box from the post office. The Medium Box is around $15 to ship and the Large Box is about $19 to ship. So choose your Yellow Items wisely. Unless of course, you can drop your box off in person. Doorstep deliveries are easy if you’re close enough and you can make the box as heavy as you want!
1- Yellow Snack Foods
A trip through Dollar Tree will get you really far. They’ve got a ton of great snack cookies, popcorn, and candies all in yellow packaging. But even better, I’ve made an entire list of YELLOW Snack and Gift ideas for you on Amazon.
