My baby sister is having her first baby any day now. I know how icky that last week or two of pregnancy can be - you feel big and tired and uncomfortable and just want to get the baby out, but at the same time are not quite sure that you are actually ready for a baby just yet!
So as a little "pick-me-up" to send my happy, positive labour vibes, I posted her a Little Box of Sunshine in the mail...
The idea behind it came from some pins on Pinterest (of course). There is a heap of awesome inspiration for gifts "in a box" - some of them on my Gifts board.
Here's what I included:
 |
| Some yellow art prints from Leanne |
 |
| Herbal tea, gum and lip gloss |
 |
| Flake and Chomp bars, yellow nail polish, lolly pop |
 |
| Yellow m&ms, lollies |
 |
| Post-it notes, sunny earrings |
 |
| Lolly bananas |
 |
| Sunshine framed print |
And here it is, all packaged up - ready for express posting:
A box fully of sunny goodness to brighten up her day and give her something to munch while the waiting game begins- and I reckon she should paint her toe nails bright yellow ready for the big day :)
So excited to meet my beautiful little niece! I know she will be a perfect little ray of sunshine in Fil and Chris' family.
P.S. Got other "gift in a box" ideas? Share them here - I love the concept!

What a sweet idea! She will love it!! :)
I LOVE those sunny earrings. Fil is gonna love this!
That is such a beautiful idea, I'm sure a little box of sunshine (or rainbows) would go a long way to brighten anyone's day. It reminds me of one of my favourite presents ever when my big brother gave my sister and I each a box full of little toys, pens, stickers, ribbons... It was like a whole box of lucky dips, but I'm loving this grown up version.
Toni, you are such a lovely thoughtful person! What an awesome box of goodies to open :-)
very cute.
I love this so much ...I have two sisters that think are going to get a little sunshine soon. x
Such a brilliant idea! I may just have to steal a few :D
you are beautiful. My sister is just as awesome but Id love you for a sister too xxx
Loving your Blog. Just blogged about my crafty weekend with my girls. I love all the crafty things. So relaxing and great fun :)
This is the most gorgeously sweet present
Fab idea!!
I loved this idea. It's super cute and I love that the 'yellow' theme means you have to be creative with it. I made one for a friend who was recently going through a difficult patch and she LOVED it.

You inspired me to do a birthday in a box for my sister. I've linked back to you & if you'd rather I didn't use one of your images please let me know!
