Bad-Day Box

This is an idea i got from Pinterest. When your husband has a bad day at work (or you could do it for your kids too) he can come home and pick something from this box to help cheer him up.

Materials:
~ Old box
~ Something to decorate it
~ Candy
~ Cards
~ Coupons
~ Anything else you want to put inside

I put some candy, wrote him two cards, and made him coupons like "favorite dessert" "back massage" or "milkshake at Arby's". Do whatever your husband likes -- this is to help him cheer up!! You know what he'll like :)

I didn't want every surprise to be ruined the first time he opened it so I wrapped everything.

I wanted to decorate the box and so I actually cut up a gift bag and mod-podged it on. A gift-bag box :)

I wrote a little poem to stick on the front. It's cheesy but cute too :)


Here's the poem...

BAD-DAY BOX

When you’ve had a hard day and you need a rest

Just open this box, put it to the test.

The contents will help you get rid of the blues

There are many options, you just need to choose.

When you open it up and see what’s inside

A smile will burst, and it will be wide

Your day will be cheery, your day will be fun

Those feeling-down blues will be out on the run.

I love you a lot babe, you make my life sweet

I hope this can help keep those bad-day blues beat.

Your hard work is valued, your devotion is clear

In our eyes you’re a hero, in our hearts you’re dear.

So open this box and see what you find

It has gladness and fun to bring peace of mind.

When this box starts to empty just let your wife know

She’ll fill it back up, let the happiness flow.


Fill it up when it gets low and have an on-going way to help get rid of those bad-day blues.

Total Cost:
~ Old box: $0.00
~ Something to decorate it: $0.00
~ Candy: $2.00
~ Cards: $3.00
~ Coupons: $0.00

Total Cost: Bad-Day Box ~ $5.00
