Box of sunshine with free printables

This box of sunshine with free printables is the perfect gift to send someone to brighten their day!

Send a box of sunshine with these 2 free printables on iheartnaptime.com -the perfect gift to send someone to brighten their day!


I think we all know someone in our lives who is going through a tough time. Someone who may have lost a loved one, someone who lost their job, someone who is going through a divorce, someone who is struggling with a child, someone with infertility…or maybe someone who is just dealing with the day to day trials life can sometimes bring. If you’re looking for a way to show you care but live far away, or are just not quite sure what to do… send a box full of sunshine! It will make their day!

I remember first seeing this box of sunshine gift idea when my Uncle passed away a couple of years ago. Someone had made my Grandma a pot of sunshine and painted it yellow. They filled it with all kinds of happy and yellow things. I thought this was such a sweet idea. Then after going through my loss last summer, I received a box full of sunshine from my dear friend Tiffany. It totally brightened my day and was honestly just what I needed. Since I loved this idea so much, I thought I’d share it with all of you and include some free printables, so you can send your own boxes of sunshine!

    Love it! I think little pick-me-ups are so important. A couple of years ago I actually started a “Sunshine in the Mail” swap to bring a little sunshine to a bunch of great girls. We had so much fun with it! I didn’t think of printables then… If only yours had existed!!! It’s cute.

    This is right up my alley for an auction piece. We are raising money for a very vibrant 6th grader that has been recently diagnosed with brain cancer!  You have brightened my day just with the idea. Thank you. Can you tell me where you found that perfect white box?

    Jamielyn, 
      Thank you so very much for these printables and the great ideas !  I do have to say though, it could be that I’m partial to the word ‘sunshine’. It’s my daughter’s name! SUNSHINE
