OK. I can’t help myself. Really. I think every holiday that comes my way I feel the need to put together some fun color-coordinated happy mail. It just feels good to make someone’s day a bit brighter…and it makes my day to theme out a gift for them! So behold…the St. Paddy’s Day Happy Mail box! Of course there is lots of green and yellow (and gold!) and maybe just a smidge of rainbow too!
I bought lots of green candies while on my weekly errand running…green apple Tic Tacs, green apple Mentos, Mike and Ike’s, Applehead candies, and some Extra gum. I also found mini green and yellow boxes of Chiclets and a yellow/rainbow box of Lemonhead candies too!I found some fun shamrock glasses (like those crazy 80’s glasses from so long ago!) and packaged them in a cute little green chevron paper bag I had in my stash of goodies.
I hand-stamped a simple linen bag with a heart stamp that I turned into shamrocks that I then outlined them with a green sharpie marker to make them more bold. Inside, I place some fun gold star picks.I filled a mini pot with mini boxes of chiclets instead of gold, lol! I wanted to put Rolos in there but I kept forgetting to buy them whenever I went out to the store, doh!Lastly, I tied a few green and yellow stripey straws with twine and then stamped a manila tag with “Lucky Charms” as in the box is full of fun lucky charms!
There you go! A fun box of “Lucky Charms” to surprise someone with…happy mail for all!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Love,
Maggie
