Snacks, Sidelines & Self-Care {More than just a snackle box}

Who doesn’t love a snackle box? With a thoughtful twist, it can be turned into such a fun little birthday surprise. I met up this weekend for a friend’s birthday breakfast and because I love gift giving, I put this little surprise together for her. I thought it turned out so cute that it was worth sharing!

I love practical packaging – something that doubles as a gift box but is also a part of the gift, and this little divided snack box was just the thing!

I started by filling each little container with some crinkled paper then got to work filling it up. My girlfriend is always busy with her boys’ sports schedules and spends a lot of time on the sidelines, so I thought a snackle box would be great for her to fill up and take with her for a day of games and practices.

I added items in one of her favourite colours, along with a few things to help take care of her on those busy days. Some protein bars for when she needs something quick on the go, and a little caramel treat when she needs something sweet.

Then I added some self-care goodies: a shower steamer, a sleep bath bomb, eye patches and a lip balm.

Of course because no sideline survival kit is complete without something warm, I added a Starbucks gift card for a cozy drink and a set of rechargeable hand warmers {These are amazing by the way! if you don’t have a pair I highly recommend them, I use mine for walks, days out, and anytime it’s a little chilly outside}

I tied everything up with a bow and added a little memo pad to finish it off! I love that this could be done in so many different ways – self-care, favourite treats, cozy essentials, movie-night goodies … the possibilities are endless. So, next time you are looking for a fun and thoughtful gift idea, grab a snackle box and fill it with a few of their favourite things!
