Every Bright Spot Letter feels like a cozy note from your craft-loving neighbor — warm, personal, and full of fun.
Imagine opening your mailbox to find a handwritten letter from a creative, kind-hearted neighbor — but instead of recipes, it’s filled with simple craft and activity ideas your whole family can enjoy.
That’s Bright Spot Mailbox — created by Kristin, a mom of three who believes family craft time can be a meaningful pause in the middle of (often chaotic) everyday life with littles.
We’re so happy you’re here.
Give your family the magic of a “Bright Spot” in the mail.
We think getting mail is really fun! We’re here for the paper-in-hand, bright colors, cute logo, and vibrant new collector card/stamp vibes. We want our letters to evoke happy & excited feelings for everyone in the family & we’d be honored to be part of your family-fun routine twice a month.

"Bright Spot": Inspired by the Swedish tradition of Fika (fee-kah).
Fika: (n, v). an important daily pause to enjoy coffee with good company (15-30 min).
We see Bright Spots as a family-friendly version of Fika. It’s about protecting 15 to 30 minutes in your day—especially on the busiest days—to pause, unplug, and enjoy meaningful time together. Our hope is to share crafts and activities that are short, simple, and enjoyable for the whole family, so you can truly enjoy time with your kids.
Less time planning; more time together.
Sent in the Mail, Collected at Home.
In our digital world, we wanted to create something tangible for your family — something to flip through, reference, share, and enjoy. We imagine our booklets — past and present — spread out across the kitchen table, as each family member browses and picks out ideas for your next Bright Spot.
Speaking of collections... trading cards and stamps, just for them!
In our family, we love collecting things (so much!), and we know siblings shouldn’t have to share everything — so each Bright Spot Letter includes a mini envelope just for each child*.
Sealed with a fun sticker, each mini envelope contains:
-
A hand-illustrated Collector Card with a craft on the front and abbreviated instructions on the back.
-
A Collector Stamp Sticker
*Includes collector envelopes for up to 2 kids — add more for $1 each!
