Share Handmade Surprises in Adorable Treat Boxes

Hey there, my crafty friends! Today's post is for you - as well as your less crafty friends and family. This just might be your opportunity to bring your less-than-crafty people into the mix and work on a project together - plus, it will seriously brighten someone's day. Are you intrigued? Let's take a look!

What is this fabulous collection of crafty goodness, you may be asking? It's the Hello Delivered Bundle from FSJ. This bundle, along with the similar Love Delivered Bundle, was put together to help you find a fun and simple way to share some handmade love with those around you. This bundle contains food-safe boxes to fill with homemade or store-bought treats, little gifties, trail mix, or candy. 

Grab some goodies to pack up, and then use the pre-printed tags, ribbon, clips, and buttons to accessorize your boxes. Then, leave them on doorsteps, desks, mailboxes, or anywhere you have people who could use some kindness and a little surprise. And because there's no fancy stamping, or even diecutting required, it's a great project to pull in your kids, grandkids, friends or family to help assemble and decorate. 

Today I have a few quick examples - and since I'm in the crafty mama category, I pulled in some of my other supplies to add a little extra fun. The preprinted cards in the bundle are fantastic because there are so many ways to use them. Cut them with scissors, die-cut them, or use a paper trimmer and then attach them not just to boxes, but use them on handmade cards too! (You can find an array of these fun tag sets sold separately on the Spellbinders website too... they're even on sale right now!) 
 For my projects, I added in the Birthday Bash embossing folder onto the background of my card.I also added in the Spring Treat Bags. Those bags are adorable, practical, and CHEAP. Like, seriously such a good deal for a pack of ten bags. And the coordinate so perfectly with these bundles, I couldn't resist adding them into the mix.
Over on the Spellbinders blog, I compiled some great ideas for filling and sharing the boxes you make with the Hello Delivered and Love Delivered Bundles. Would you like a peek at some of the ideas?

FILL THE BOXES WITH:

  • Homemade cookies or sweet treats
  • Store bought pre-packaged snacks
  • Trail Mix
  • Caramel Corn
  • S’mores kit
  • Mini candy bars
  • Nail polish, lip gloss and lotions (travel sizes of cosmetics will fit perfectly too!)
  • Gift cards and small gifts
  • A set of mini handmade cards
  • Craft supplies for a crafty friend

WAYS TO SHARE THEM:

  • Create birthday or graduation party favors for a drive-by celebration or gathering.
  • Make homemade treats or goodies and leave them on your co-workers’ desks.
  • Drop off gifts, gift cards or goodies to say thank you to first responders.
  • Leave surprise gifts on your neighbor’s doorsteps.
  • Box up a care package and mail it to someone far from home or alone right now.
  • What about your favorite delivery people, and postal workers? Can you imagine their surprise when you hand them something as they make a delivery to your house?
  • Box up to-go treats to take home after a BBQ or picnic.
  • Pack up popcorn or snacks in these grab-and-go boxes for an outdoor movie night.
  • Let your kids make up s’mores kits with all the ingredients to deliver to their friends.
  • Send a surprise to your grandkids, nieces, nephews or young family friends. Crayons, playing cards, and small trinkets will fit in these cute boxes and they’ll LOVE getting happy mail or a front-porch delivery.
