does anyone have one of these?
some people call them a happy box, too.
does anyone have ideas of what to put in them?

thanks.

I sort of do..it's a box that contains most of the things my boyfriend has given me and old movie stubs and tickets...things of that nature.

No one but you can know eactly what type of things would make you happy..ticket stubs, other fun memorabilia. Have your friends or parents write you little encouraging notes. You could buy a box and put the things in it, or you could make one out of a shoebox and decorate it. Stickers and things are always nice too.

Just think about things that make you happy and the box should fill itself.

Me and some friends made one for a friend in the hospital once -- they're great fun to make! I'm trying to assemble one for myself, too, but... I'm just not as motivated. So far I have a book with pretty pictures of snowflakes, a fluffy soft elephant, bubbles, tea bags, cards (i find shuffling very enjoyable... I know that's kinda weird :D ), and a solitare game.

:clover: good luck with yours!

Mine had play dough in it. Very relaxing. :)
