50 Eco Friendly Sunshine Box Ideas With Free Printables
There is certainly a lot of uncertainty and sadness in the world right now isn’t there? How do we solve this? Are we able to solve it? Well, if you ask me, every little positive step helps. If everyone out there did one kind and positive thing for someone else, surely the world will start to be a brighter place day by day!
One thing that makes it hard for us all to show kindness to one another is the fact that, with social distancing we can not make physical contact or even physically help someone. But even with social distancing we can be kind to one another with our words, use your words to spread some sunshine! Another way you can spread sunshine is by sending a care package to someone you know is going through a hard time. Sunshine care packages such as these have actually been around for quite some time but lately have become very popular as our world needs more positivity and bright lights!
As I thought about ways to design sunshine boxes, I have course thought of what to put inside these boxes that went along with my goals of clean beauty products and eco friendly living. Most boxes have somewhere between 3-6 main items with smaller snack type items to fill in the baskets. It’s easy to make your sunshine box – just pick a container, pick your items, print out the cards at the bottom of this post, and then head to the post office or drop this at the door of someone you know that needs some cheer! Spreading sunshine has never been so easy!

Container Ideas

Positive Novelty Items
Every care package needs an item or two whose sole purpose is just for fun and to bring a smile on the recipient’s face. You will find that here in the following items.All are also practical which means they won’t be thrown to the landfill once the newness of the care package has worn off!
Snack Items
And what’s a care package without some snacks and goodies? These snacks are healthy with a good dose of cheery packaging to boot. Place your snacks in at the end and fill up any remaining space so that your box is filling to the brim with sunshine yellow! And feel free to have a few snacks yourself to spread the cheer!
