Send A Box of Sunshine + Free Card Printables
I’m so excited to share new sunshine printables with you, especially since you can use these printables to brighten someone’s day!
I love the gift idea of sending someone a box of happy yellow and orange goodies and calling it “A Box of Sunshine.” I got inspired when I saw this idea on Pinterest and wanted to make my own printables to match the theme. You can download the printables for free at the end of this post. You can use them as a card or a label for your box.
I have a friend whose nickname is Sunshine, and I wanted to send her a package of sunshine during the dark winter months (though this gift idea is perfect year-round too!) The only problem? Like me, she has food allergies. A lot of the boxes I’ve seen online contain a lot of junk food. Sure, it’s colorful, but there must be more healthy and delicious treats to include! Plus, I wanted to think up ideas that weren’t just food-related.

DIY Felt Christmas Banners
Today I’m sharing an idea for an easy, festive Christmas banner, which makes a perfect gift!
I made these banners for my dad to decorate his office at work. I love being able to make homemade gifts for my family. However, I have found it can be challenging to find gifts I can make for men. I’m good at making cute scarves, papercrafts, and jewelry—things which aren’t exactly on my dad’s wishlist! If you’re in a similar boat, this banner is the craft idea you’re looking for.
After being unable to turn up an ideas even after searching Pinterest, I came up with the idea of making a felt banner. My dad was looking for something to bring a touch of holiday cheer to his workspace, and I knew Dad wouldn’t want something bulky taking up space in his office. I saw this felt and loved the rich colors. They look festive and Christmasy, but not girly.

Reversible Wood Block Craft
I love creating wood block decorations, both for my own décor, and as gifts for friends. They’re super easy to make, and they can be customized to fit anyone’s style and color scheme. I made these wood blocks for a friend, using a Christmas-theme on one side, and an everyday theme on the other. I’ll walk you through the steps here.
