Operation Christmas Child - Girl 10-14 🇫🇷 PARIS THEMED SHOEBOX GIFT - OCC 2023

[@byrdfeed9071]

Oops, i made a boo-boo. I am removing the red beret from this shoebox gift, as it was called to my attention, that, in some of the countries where our shoeboxes are received, berets are often worn by the militia ☹️

Oh how I wish I could see the girls face when she opens up her beautiful box. What a blessing you are to these kids as you pour your heart into packing such amazing and creative boxes for them!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you so much, Marie. I really do try to make them extra special. Hope she likes it. Thanks for your sweet comment 🥰

Wow and wow and another wow. ❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks and thanks and another thanks 🥰

[@kristiprice9419]

She is going to be absolutely thrilled!! My favorite so far!!❤❤❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

That’s what I say with all of them, L O L. They are like my children. I love them all! 🥰

That box is perfect for 10-14. I always send a doll too.

[@byrdfeed9071]

I have to admit, it took me a while to to get comfortable including a doll in a 10-14 box, but after seeing videos of all ages of girls joyously receiving dolls in their boxes, I can now happily include them in a 10-14 girl box 😉

I always love a Paris themed shoebox. My favorite has to be the French poodle plush - she is perfect for this box. Definitely a Parisian dog. Great idea adding the Paris outfit to the Barbie. Great coloring and sticker books. Very nice bead kit. Great shirt and the socks. Very pretty jewelry and change purse. I got the same journal for my next Paris box. You packed the best Paris themed stickers. The backpack is nice addition to go with the shoebox. Fabulous shoebox, Trish! Thanks for sharing!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks so much Sharon. I think my favorite is the French poodle beanie baby, too. That lady gave me a whole bag of stuffies. When I got home with it and pulled out Cheri, I couldn’t believe it. Straight into the Paris collection bag she went 🤗.

Hi Trish, This is a gorgeous box for Miss 10-14. I love all the Paris themed treasures like the purple Eiffel Tower. This box reminds me of the one I packed for my niece who (then) wanted to travel to Paris. In an OCC styled box, I packed a set of Paris themed partyware, including a silver sparkle Eiffel Tower.. I also packed travel items like compression socks and an inflatable pillow. And of course, I didn't forget a toothbrush! 🙂 🇫🇷

[@byrdfeed9071]

How clever, to pack compression socks, and an inflatable pillow in your nieces Paris box. Ooh, the sparkly Eiffel tower sounds wonderful!

[@jcross9251]

That Barbie doll is so pretty 😍 that puppy is very unique and looks so cuddly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻any girl that age will love that box for sure

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you 🥰

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

Very sweet box, Trish. I love the barbie, her bead kit, and all the beautiful jewelry. The color of the pencil pouch is so pretty. I'm sure she will love that coin purse and cute doll pen! You did a great job putting this Paris box together. My favorites are the journal and miniature eiffel tower. Just a beautiful shoebox, Trish! 💕

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks so much, Diana. You are so kind. I was so excited to find a Paris themed journal at DT. Honestly, they have some of the best journals. I thought the tiny, pink Eiffel tower would be a fun addition. TFW 🥰

[@valswain]

I love how this young lady will be able to match her poodle with their red berets. How cute is that! The Barbie is very cute - Love the outfits you added for Barbie. Beautiful jewelry. Love all the donations for your box. How funny that we both showed Barbie boxes today 😉. And we both thought the DT dress up colorforms sticker sets would be good in a Barbie box lol. Thanks for sharing yours!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks so much, Val. I was so excited to receive Cheri the poodle from my shoebox donation lady. Coincidence or Jesus intervention? I think Jesus! And I really lucked out finding that Barbie outfit with the Eiffel Tower on it. A perfect addition to this box. I love all the jewelry Denise L donated to the box. It makes the box extra special for an older girl. TFW, my friend.

[@judyfrazier2462]

So much attention to detail as always, Trish. Even down to Barbie's shirt !!! So stinkin' cute !!!!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you so much, Judy! You are so kind 🥰

[@drogers]

Oui! Oui! Paris! Love the Temu outfit! I’m still looking for the mismatched socks! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️A beautiful variety of hair accessories! Very creative jewelry swapping! Little touches always make boxes so special. And the pink Eiffel Tower is oh so perfect! Destination Paris-sign me up! Great box Trish with such a great variety for her to enjoy! Thanks for sharing! 🐩💕🧳

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks, Denise. Yes, you are so right. It seems no matter what age, there are always the same basics that go into each box, but it is often the small, and sometimes unique items that transform it into a special, 10-14 year old gift. Thank you, my friend. 🥰

[@dalehighnote6958]

This is such a special box. Love it all.

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks, Dale 🥰

[@elena-n5q]

Great Paris themed shoebox!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, Elena 🥰

[@denise5457]

Another beautiful box. I loved seeing a different theme pop up today. Lately, l'm really enjoying seeing some unique ones. I'm glad you could find a use for those charms. I'd ordered a big set of charms and there were quite a few Eiffel Tower in there. You've given me ideas in case I wind up packing Paris themed boxes at some point. I picked up those journals at DT as well, but anything else I might have is lost in the chaos that is my stash at the moment. 😊 I loved your lid deco, the shirt and beret (so cute) and also the coin purse. Perfect touch! 💕

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks, Denise. I absolutely love all the jewelry and the Eiffel tower charms were the icing. Well, of all the ideas you got from this box, don’t include a beret. I am removing it from the box. Jeannie reminded me that in many of the countries where our boxes go, the militia, where berets, and often, red berets. I googled it, and she’s right. That never even occurred to me until she said something, so, I am not going to pack it after all.

[@denise5457]

@byrdfeed9071 ... Ahhh, yes, makes sense.

[@marilyn3152]

Very nice box, any older girl will enjoy it!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, Marilyn. I think so, too. I know I would’ve liked it at that age 🥰

[@n2wabbit]

Beautiful box!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you 🥰

[@debrabarr6097]

Oh my goodness I love the poodle plush, Barbie doll & T-Shirt. Those socks are so adorable! The bracelet & earring are really pretty. That pen is so funny & cute. So many great items for her to treasure! 💕

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, Debra. It was so much fun to shop for this one and watch it come together for an older girl. TFW 🥰

[@batmansboxes4936]

Really great shoebox Trish! Love the Paris theme. The plush is too much! Barbie will be super chic in all of her Dior and YSL fashion. I think you included so many fun and pretty items. Just an observation, you may want to rethink the beret. These boxes will be going to many countries where the militia were berets. I specifically did not put one in my Paris box last year for that reason and instead packed a wide brimmed hat. TFS!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Oh no, I didn’t even realize that, but I think you’re right. Sadly, I will remove it 😢. Thanks so much for the heads up, Jeannie, and thanks for watching 🥰

[@RachelP-tn6rm]

Such a pretty box.

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, Rachel 🥰

[@kimmclean9933]
