Brighten Someone’s Day with a Box of Sunshine

A few weeks ago my best friend from high school was having surgery and I wanted to send her a little something to cheer her up.  I live in Virginia and she lives in North Carolina so we don’t see each other very often.  I remembered seeing this box of sunshine by Happy Money Saver on Pinterest a few months ago and knew it was the perfect gift.

 

Pin It
The mug is from Pier 1 and everything else I found at Target.  Connor and I had fun shopping for all yellow things.

 

I took the free printable Karrie offers on her site HERE and adhered it to a folded piece of cardstock to make a little card for the box of sunshine.

 

Definitely my new favorite gift to give!  This is sure to brighten someone’s day – probably there entire week!!

    I love this gift box, Kara! It reminds me of my grandmother. She is always singing “You are my sunshine!” I think I’m going to make one of these to take to her when I see her in July. Thanks for the inspiration!
    Our Simply Create Link party is going on right now. I would love to have you link up, as I’m sure my followers would like to see what you created too. Hope to see you soon!

    I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while
    people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having
    side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be
    back to get more. Thanks
