Box of Sunshine

We Live in Sunny California

My Nephew is away at school in Chilly Pennsylvania

I remember when I was in college how exciting it was to get something in the mail - especially a package.  I also remember never having anything fun to eat, how hard it was to get to the local store, and not having much money to spend on anything that wasn't a necessity.

So I decided it was a perfect opportunity to send my Nephew a

Once you start looking - it's amazing how many YELLOW snack food items you can find.

My Box contained the following:

Lays Classic Potato Chips

Velveeta Mac and Cheese Cups

Kraft Cheese in a Can

Wheat Thins Crackers

Slim Jims

Primgles Potato Chips

Mr. Goodbar Chocolate

Bumble Bee Tuna Snack

M n M Candies

Dried Pineapple Bits

Everything sweet, salty and completely bad for you that a College Student could ever want.  

There were so many great food choices.  

I was like a crazy woman wandering around the grocery store grabbing anything I could find that was yellow.  Once I realized I would have to SHIP the package....it helped me edit my selections.  
Nothing too heavy, or breakable, or easily smashed.

But if I were delivering this to a local friend....Ohhh the possibilities.  

I filled the shipping box with yellow paper shred and tied yellow bows around several of the boxes.

We wrote a personal message on the back of a Large Sun cut from cardstock and patterned paper.

A few more suns were made from circle and scallop paper punches.

  There was even room for a little light up stress ball animal.  

And then it was all shipped off for my nephew (and his room mates) to enjoy.

This would be a great pick me up for someone who is feeling under the weather and could easily be tailored to the Lucky recipients tastes.   

Who do you know that could use a little Box of Sunshine to brighten their day?
