Lunchbox Love Notes.
I have always been the kind of mom that leaves my daughter little notes in her lunchbox. I usually draw a picture of something or write “I heart you” or “Mommy loves you” (when she was younger). I enjoy that kind of stuff, connecting with her in the middle of the day when she’s at school (or sometimes even just around the house).

A few weeks ago I was contacted to try out these darling “lunchbox love” cards for kids and give my opinion on what I thought of them. Well, I finally got around to checking them out and oh my goodness they are soooo CUTE! So fun! I can’t wait until my daughter takes her lunch to school again so I can slip one inside her lunchbox. They can also be put into a child’s backpack!
They are double-sided with 1 side saying something positive and wonderful such as “I love you” or “be kind” or or ” I care about what you say” or “I can’t wait to be with you later” or “do something sweet for someone today.”
Then the other side has a fun little trivia fact on it. It says “Did you know?” and then it has a question or fact. Some examples I got were “Did you know? Butterflies taste with their feet.” or “Did you know? You use more calories eating celery than there are in celery.” My personal FAVORITE is “Did you know? A turtle can breathe through its butt.” I seriously cannot WAIT to add that to Summer’s lunchbox! I may not even wait for that opportunity. I plan to just stick one up here and there where she will find it, such as the bathroom mirror.

These came in a cute little (very heavyweight) holder with a flap closure, and I love the inside flap design. It says “Positive words can change a person’s day, a life and eventually the world.” I just think that’s awesome. The cards themselves are also made well, sort of a cardstock weight and slick, like almost laminated but not, sort of hard to explain actually. But they seem very nice, like they won’t fall apart if they’re handled a few times, ya know? The company is Say Please and if you want to check out what other kinds of things they have go to their website. You can buy these in Michael’s arts and crafts stores now too (they sell bite size version for $1)
I received 4 sampler packs of Lunchbox Love (16 cards in all) and I actually got them to send me an extra set for one of my blog readers! I love that they agreed!

To win these, just leave a comment saying how many children you have and what you would do with these. I will do the random draw for one of your names on Monday morning, November 23.
I checked out their website and found out that they also sell other cards, not just for children. They have Lunchbox Love for Teens & Tweens, Birthday Boys, Birthday Girls, Girlfriends, People You Work With, and Those You Appreciate. I love the idea of all these different themes. I want to buy the ”girlfriends” and the “those you appreciate.”
For those of you that want to go check out the website and order, I got a coupon code in my samplers that I’ll share with you for saving 10% on your order. Use coupon code LBL4ME. The card also says if you buy 4 volumes you get free shipping!
Now, I think I’ll go hang one on Summer’s bedroom door!

ahhh! i’ve wanted those FOREVER! Jordyn would be so excited to find those in her lunchbox..not only to make her sourpuss attitude happy, lol..but cause she’s obsessed with trivia!!!
I only have 1 adult son but I have two grandboys and I think to send one a week to them. What a great idea for those that have young children.
We hear so much bad stuff that happens every day that it is SOOOOO nice to see something as cute as these cards be made. It is so important to send our kids out the door with loving thoughts. I imagine the smiles when they open their lunchbox or bookbag and find one of these notes because at that moment they know I’m telling them I love them and am thinking about them. What a WONDERFUL idea. 2 Precious little girls. Thank you so much for sharing these with us.

These are super neat! Love them! I recently received a set and was totally impressed – even cuter than the pictures show. Anything we can do for more smiles, laughs and all around making someone feel good is all right by me! Can’t have enough of those positive vibes!!!
I would love these for my 2 boys. I don’t get to pack their lunches anymore, but I would love to leave them on their pillows from time to time to surprise them…or maybe tuck one into their backpacks when they go back to their dad’s for them to find.
Wow them are really cool. What a way to brighted a childs day or even your spouses day. You could even leave them under thier plate for breakfast or dinner. My son would love it if I did this for him.
LOVE this idea!! I tried doing something like this with my daughter but it was hard to keep up with it everyday.
I have 2 children, both in college and we communicate mostly be text or e-mail but I’m sure they would love snail mail once in a while and these would be perfect to send them to let them know I’m thinking of them and they can carry it with them. These are so cool!
I just came upon your web site today and it was cosmic to find this post because I have the Lunchbox Love for Birthday Boys and Girls. For a mother of boy/girl twins like me, constantly going to various birthday parties, I am lucky if I remember to get a gift. But a birthday card, too? HA! With these little cards, a different set for each gender, I just stick one onto the gift and sign my child’s name. Now, instead of a generic birthday card, my children get to send real love to their friends. I can’t wait to buy the other sets! I love Lunchbox Love!
What a wonderful product! I would love to send them to my grandkids – only 4 out of 8 are old enough to read. Since they are so well made, we could ‘recycle’ them again in a few years. Thanks for sharing them.
