Lunchbox Love Notes

Growing up, I rarely packed my lunch for school.  So for a kid like me, it was super exciting on the days that I did...like school field trip days.  And I can vividly remember my mom often tucking a little note into my lunchbox.  Often a note, handwritten with a pen or Sharpie marker on a napkin.  And I loved it.  It made me feel special and loved.

So when I stumbled upon this website, I wanted to share it with you.



"Say Please" offers adorable lunchbox notes and other gifts that can be purchased for your family or for teachers.  They also offer several FREE printables here.  Additionally, many other websites offer a nice variety of printable lunchbox notes...including Happy Home Fairy, The Peaceful Mom, and Nick Jr. 

Regardless of how pretty your note looks, it's the thought that counts.  Bring a smile to someone's face today or tomorrow - help them finish the end of their school year strongly or conquer a tough day on the job - with a note of encouragement and love.  Spread a little love!

Sometimes the BEST lunchbox note is still the quick, handwritten one on the simple white napkin.  :)
