Sunshine Boxes are the Latest Way to Spread Joy While Social Distancing

Yellow is the official color of summer—it makes of think of the bright sun and the beautiful flowers. With social distancing in full effect, we could all use a little sunshine in our lives. Sunshine boxes are a way to spread joy to your friends and family during this difficult time and they happen to be popping up all over Instagram. The packages are filled with yellow objects that are meant to brighten someone’s day.

To make your own, all you need is a box or package, some yellow paper, markers, and some yellow treats to fill the box with. You can add lemon-flavored food items like Larabars or Lemon Heads or Lay’s potato chips or non-food items like yellow water bottles, candles, or lotion. The only rule is it has to be yellow. When you’re finished, just leave it on your friend’s porch or mail it to them.

Send them to someone who’s having difficulty being alone or an essential worker to thank them for all their hard work and bravery.
