Hi Trish, This is a fun box for Miss 10-14. I love the puzzle and agree, a bag of random bits of cardboard does not look like a much of a Wow! The t-shirt is gorgeous I also like the recorder. This week, I found name- brand recorders at my grocery store on super clearance for $2. So, I am looking forward to checking out your website for some sheet music. On another coincidence this week, I packed a cat squishmallow purse/ pencil case the same colours as Chip. As the name implies, I was trying to squish a plush into a 2-4 year old box with a baby doll - Or what prefer to call, one flat packed cat.TFS!

Ha ha, poor kitty 😻. Wow, that is a fantastic find on the recorders. I hope you were able to grab a few. Thanks so much, Fiona 🥰

[@marieterry625]

Love the theme, and have no doubt she will be so blessed with a full box of lots of fun and practical treasures!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks, Marie 🥰

[@denise5457]

I always loved puzzles too. This is such a pretty one! Yes, best to leave the box intact sometimes. Her T-shirt is awfully cute too and love the addition of the recorder! 🩵

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, my friend. Ah, yes, unboxing this one put me in the mood to put together puzzle, so I started one last night 😄

[@valswain]

I never saw that decorative duck tape at HL. It’s adorable! Cute lid! I love those nice jump ropes. Quality is so good. Love all the pouches/purses. You know I love all the cat items. I love that t-shirt and really love the cat socks😻sooo many cute accessories in this box. Perfect puzzle. Love the way you packed it . Oh the tin is adorable 😺 love the bandaids in that! This theme is very cute and you did a great job combining cats AND dogs into your theme. TFS sharing this cute box 😊

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, my friend. It originally started out as a dog box, but quickly morphed into dogs and cats. I think it became a lot more fun and interesting with both. TFW 🥰

[@tammyjones3709]

Adorable theme. When you opened the box and I saw all the items on top it made me smile. I’m sure it will make this young girl smile with joy too. Love the shirt, socks,beanies, puzzle. So many fun items. ❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

Oh, thank you Tammy. I appreciate that. I do hope it brings an instant smile to the girl who receives it. TFW 🥰

[@BLESSEDandOCCobsessed]

Darling box! I love that puzzle! You found a lot of fun kitty and doggie items! Very fun that both you and Denise shared boxes with a recorder in them. You definitely found some wonderful treasures for this young lady. Thanks for sharing!

[@kristirawcliffe1617]

Trish, So sweet!! The puzzle, tshirt and stuffies! Oh my! ❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks so much, Kristi. I think a 10-14 year-old girl will enjoy them. 🥰

[@patpitt7079]

Trish, love this cat/dog box…I want one…lol…love the clip art…she will love it😻😻😻

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you so much Pat. I like hearing that 🥰

[@tracystoaks6573]

Trish great box!! I live puzzles and am including several in boxes this year. I agree about leaving the larger puzzles in the box for the wow factor. She will love all her gifts.

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, Tracy 🥰

[@elena-n5q]

Great shoebox! 🙂

[@mamachicken1548]

You come up with such clever themes! I love everything in your box!!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks so much. I hope the young lady who receives it enjoys everything inside, too 🥰

[@PamsPackingOCCshoeboxes]

What a wonderful box! I love the cat shirt and that puzzle is so pretty. I am sure she will love everything in this box. I put the same tote bag in one of my boxes. Those earrings are so cute. I love cats and dogs-but mostly cats. Really cute theme. Thank you for sharing.

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, Pam. I wish I could have a cat, but I am terribly allergic. Dogs aren’t as troublesome for me in that respect, but cats sure are easier 😉

[@debifritzsd]

You do such fun things with boxes. Love it. 🥰

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you. I do have fun with them 🥰

[@RachelH366]

I love this box so much!! I grew up completely animal obsessed, especially dogs. I still love dogs so much. I hope a girl who is a fellow animal lover receives this box ❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

Me, too. Thanks so much, Rachel 🥰

Second box I seen today with a recorder, I guess the universe try to tell me that I need to practice my recorder more 🎵🎶 I love how you basicly have a box in a box in a box, you created a box-ception! :)

[@byrdfeed9071]

Yes, now be a good boy and practice that recorder!! 😉 Haha, box-ception…good one! 😆

[@batmansboxes4936]

Very cute box Trish! The earrings are adorable. I love that you included so many fun little bags. Girls need little bags to hide their things. So glad you fit 2 stuffies. Very pretty t-shirt! TCP does run small but they have the sweetest shirt graphics. The puzzle is a wow and I agree with presenting it in the original box looks so much nicer. TFS!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Originally, the cat stuffy didn’t fit. I had to remove the squishy barking bag clip and a pair of scissors in order to fit in the cat. That was a couple months ago, but just before I filmed the unboxing I opened the lid and immediately saw a space that I could squish the bag clip into. It was weird. Almost like the seas parted to allow me to return that silly barking bag clip to the box 🤔😯🙌

[@batmansboxes4936]

@@byrdfeed9071 Amen! Throwing the box on the floor to make room clearly works too! I’ll never forget that from one of your videos. I literally LOL’d.

[@byrdfeed9071]

@@batmansboxes4936 😆🤣😂 yes that definitely works!!

[@drogers]

Those earrings are so stinkin’ cute. I love that puzzle! I think I have the same one tucked away! I agree with including the box for that big wow puzzle. I think it will stay and look nice that way. Love the coloring and drawing books. I would have loved those at that age. Her shirt is adorable and TCP definitely runs small imo also! Thanks for sharing this one Trish! It might be raining cats and dogs but the sun will come out when she opens this box! ☔️☀️🐈🐕‍🦺

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks so much, friend. Yes, I hope the sun shines through when she opens her box. 🥰

[@sendingshoeboxes6090]

I love these earrings! Those with the friendship bracelets are going to be so fun to wear. The puzzle is my favorite! I really enjoy doing puzzles and that image was so cute!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Aren’t those earrings darling? I usually don’t do big danglies for OCC boxes, but these…I just had to. I think a girl this age will get a kick out of them. Thanks for watching , AnnaBeth 🥰

[@jerriettaarcher7665]

I love this full fun box❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you , Jerrietta 🥰

[@tammyculp7765]

Wow, wow!! I love all your boxes, Trish, but I think this one is exceptional. Such a great variety of gifts. You always manage to make it all look so attractive also colorful and fun. I think this young lady will be delighted

[@byrdfeed9071]

Oh, thank you, Tammy. I sure appreciate that. Thank you so much 🥰

[@kristiprice9419]

Love it❤❤❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks, Kristi 🥰

[@jesswnukow]

Love all your ideas.This is my first year doing these. Can I use any shoe box?

[@byrdfeed9071]

Well thank you. So glad you are joining in on the joy and blessings of packing OCC shoeboxes. Yes, you can use any average sized shoebox. Happy packing! 🥰

[@kristirawcliffe1617]

Hey, did u ever find a cocomelon stuffy? I had mentioned in a comment i found a lion cocmelon at ross. Well today i got cocomelon boy dressed as a monkey if u dtill need one.

[@byrdfeed9071]

Oh gosh, sorry, I must have missed this comment as I’m just seeing it now as one I never responded to. No, I never found a Cocomelon stuffy, but that shoebox is going to be for next year, so I have plenty of time. I did go check out Ross right after I read your first comment, but they didn’t have anything. I don’t shop Ross that often, or even at all for that matter as it is not conveniently located to me and when I do go they are always empty, looking as if they are going out of business. It always amazes me how different locations, for any store, throughout the country are so different. Thanks though. 🥰
