I love your boxes and I know the child that receives your box will be thrilled! My Wall Mart has a clearance isle and I got full size notebooks for 10 cents a piece. I also leave the toothbrush in the wrapper. You go girl you rock!! God bless and keep you!

You are giving an amazing gift to each child that receives your boxes. I’m a project leader in South Dakota. I too have a heart for this ministry. Your boxes are a great combination of practical and fun. So many can’t go to school without the school supplies. I’ve read of a girl in an orphanage who had to share a toothbrush and was so grateful to get her own. The toys are of course what every kid should have. 😀 my thoughts to you that I hope would only help… next year soap is not going to be allowed in US boxes. A lot of the places boxes go don’t have garbage disposal so excess packaging is hard (I felt like yours wasn’t excess, and for good reasons). You said in general where you like to order from but would appreciate knowing where each item (like the thermal blankets) came from. Thank you for being a part of this awesome ministry for kids everywhere.

I love this ministry as well. It’s a wonderful way to introduce kids and their families to Jesus. You did a great job in packing and your suggestions. If I may I’d like to share more thoughts from years of packing and shopping. Shopping for sales, yes, it’s a definite for me. After holiday sales at 75% or better yet 90% off. Back to school sales. End of season sales too. I love Temu also for many things. One item for example are foldable compact mirrors for my older girls and they are wonderful quality. I also shop for hair supplies, jewelry, hygiene items, toys, dolls, their sticker selection is amazing and great quality. I take my time reading the description closely and check sizes. I got an adorable giraffe dress for my 2-4 year old girl for $3.00 for my giraffe themed box. And a Hello Kitty stuffie for my WOW gift for $4.50 I find Temu a good resource for items just read the description closely and the reviews. Their return policy is very good and fast. I can also highly recommend the website, WOW supplies for buying in bulk. Their mission is dedicated to supply children worldwide with high quality toys, school supplies, hygiene items and the love of God. The prices are very reasonable. The soccer balls are high quality better than ones I got from Amazon. I’d also suggest everyone interested in doing a shoebox to go to the OCC website. The site lists allowed items, suggestions for wow gifts and what not to pack, such as soap starting 2025. The emphasis this year is packing more toys, boxes that are full, fun and personable like you did with your letter. Kids also like a picture of yourself if you’re comfortable doing that. I find it so hard as I want to pack the world for each child. Now I relax, pack from my heart and each box is full of love and a prayer for each child. That chicken from Dollar Tree is so fun!! I pack them too. I also like from Dollar Tree the coloring books, adult coloring books for the older kids and more in their teaching tree section, puzzles, journals, cards, games. Like Temu shop carefully and you’ll find good items to add. Thank you for spreading the word of this ministry!

You make beautiful boxes! Great job!! :) What a blessing for the children!

Crees que un niño o niña de 5 a 9años usa calculadora? Creo que hasta los 12 al menos no la necesitan. Tal vez en su lugar podrías poner una armónica, un juego de cartas o de cuentas para ensartar. ¿Qué opinas?

Hola! Creo que para la edad de 2 a 4 hay cosas que no son tan apropiadas, xq son para niños más mayores(como la linterna, por ejemplo, o los cuadernos) A los niños/niñas tan pequeños les gustan mucho los colores vivos y alegres. Podrías poner vasos coloridos en vez de marrón. Hay muchos objetos demasiado pequeños que pueden ser peligrosos en esas edades. También te comento que existen cepillos de dientes específicos para esas edades. Quizás sería mejor poner un peluche o muñeco más grande y de mejor calidad, algo musical, un puzzle o juego apilable. Son solo ideas. Una cajita con peine, cepillo de dientes, una pequeña mochila con dibujos, un puzzle, un peluche colorido, una botella de agua pequeña colorida, material escolar apropiado para esa edad(bloc de dibujo con motivos grandes, ceras o lápices gruesos, pegatinas removibles) y un camión, muñeca e instrumento musical (como un xilofono por ejemplo)Los juguetes de madera son fantásticos para esas edades. Entiendo que las cajas son muy pequeñas,pero tal vez los artículos podrían ser más infantiles, aunque fueran menos cantidad. Es solo mi opinión, solo por si te sirve.

Where did you find the sanitary pads and case? That's something I never thought about for the older girl age group!

Just fyi… Samaritans will ship you labels for free. You can activate the labels all at once and then use over a period of time. Thanks for sharing and encouraging others.

Great video. Books are my favorite things to sell on my channel, and I also love collecting them. Subscribing.

God I love this book. Honestly my all time favorite! The twists and turns of Doloreses life is immaculate. I cry every time I read this book.

Is the $10 donation mandatory? I would love to make multiple boxes but I can't do that if it's $10 per box.

I found a person with my same passion!! I love Occ !! This year I’m making 40 boxes !!❤❤

Wow! So many wonderful boxes. What a blessing. Just a heads up, I heard that next year they're not going to allow soap.

Where do you get those boxes?

I am just beginning to learn about this and very interested in doing a lot of boxes. I saw that there is an additional $10 donation for each box? That, of course would also determine how many boxes could be done.

I too love this ministry and I am grateful for everyone who chooses to pack a single box or many. I thought I would share one thing I have learned in the last several years of packing and sending shoebox gifts. I never heard back from any of my recipients until I began adding my email and facebook contact info to my note. (If you do this, always check spam folders for both sites.) Since I live in a very rural area of the US and my internet options are so poor, it didn't occur to me that the destinations these boxes reach might have online access. But many do through phones or church offices. I started getting about 10 replies a year since doing this. And one missionary pointed out that mail is incredibly expensive going intercontinental, so it made sense to me. Hope this helps, if not this year maybe next. God bless you for all the gospel opportunities possible through your boxes. ❤

where did you find the hand crank flashlights?

What is this content? God I hate what the internet has become. I use to see wemon on the internet and say damn she's pretty. Now I see you ass wanna be influencer.

Boxes are not always given at Christmas time. But they are always given.

Personally, the bromance book club went down in rating as it continued until the Christmas one! Good luck with your series stats! It’s so hard to stay on top of them 😂

U got so many great books! This is my soul typing bcz I died out of jealousy 🤧

Woowwwww

Woowwwww

I just found your channel and I’ve been watching all your old used book hauls. I LOVE a good used book haul! I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers and engagement. I’m having so much fun with you! Good luck on the series. I actually do the same thing. Not on purpose but accidentally because I get so excited about so many different books that I can never seem to stay in order 🤣

Absolutely loved this book. I find myself rereading it every 2-3 years. I read it for the first time in late high school and now I’m almost 40. I’ve appreciated different pets more as I’ve gotten older.

I have to change the convo or I'll blow it

Amazing what can fit in a shoebox we need more people like yourself ❤

I subbed and liked 👍😊👍
