After repacking this box up, I added stickers and finger puppets! ❤

[@tracystoaks6573]

Fun collab! Love the red Minnie. Great stuffie. Love the popper, sunglasses, scrunchie, and rubber ducky. The coloring book is perfect. Great deal on the knit cap and mittens, and dress. The tote bag is perfect for this box! Very pretty purse and face mask. Minnie is universally loved so I know a little girl will love this box! Thanks for sharing, Denise! 🎀🎀

[@drogers]

Hey Sharon! Thank you so much for watching! You are the sweetest! Yes, Minnie is universally loved and recognized so I think her eyes will be wide with delight when she opens her box! Thanks for watching friend!❤️

[@phenemcclanahan1125]

Finally watching this one! ❤ Oh, I already loved it from first sight. Those slippers will make that little girl very happy😊.

[@drogers]

Yay!!! Oh those darling slippers! So cozy and fun for her! Glad you were able to watch it! Thank you!

[@tracystoaks6573]

What a fun Minnie box. Everything wil make her smile when she unpacks this very full box. Those sunglasses will be a big hit❤

[@drogers]

Thanks Tracy! Those sunglasses are so darn cute! I can just see her putting them on right away! ❤️

[@dalehighnote6958]

The purse is so lovely. This is such a fun, colorful box. The Minnie stuffie is sure to be a hit. I can see her styling her the dress, sunshades and purse. Thank you.

[@drogers]

Oh that is such a sweet image! Yes, her dress and glasses and purse! Oh so cute! I pray she has so much fun with everything! I added some stickers and some of those Walmart finger puppets after I filmed this. Just a little more added fun. Thanks for watching friend!

Cuckoo Loca!! That’s the name of the bird 🤣. I just love this box. All the reds and pinks just put that little girly touch. What a cute dress and the slippers are almost like another lovey. The Minnie plush will be a hit for sure. The purse is beautiful and she will be a little princess all dressed up. Perfect tote too! TFS a true classic my friend!

[@drogers]

Ahhhhh....yes, Cuckoo Loca! Couldn't remember it to save my life! Thanks...just a sweet little Minnie to bring joy! She always makes me smile so I pray she will do the same for this little girl! Thanks for watching friend!

[@denise5457]

😍 I wish red Minnie would be easier to find. I just love this Minnie with red and green! And you found so many complimentary things! Just too cute. One of my faves is the adorable little purse. ❤️

[@drogers]

I agree! Red Minnie is so cute but so hard to find stuff! Everything is pink! It makes for such a cute box. Those 2-4’s get me… everything is so darn sweet. Thanks for watching Denise! ❤️

[@byrdfeed9071]

Such a precious shoebox for a little girl. I absolutely adore the slippers and Christmas Minnie. The red and green colors are so striking on little Miss Mouse 😄. I know you said this box is “All About Minnie”, but once it is received by a little girl, it’s going to be all about her ❤

[@drogers]

Thanks Trish! Yes! It’s all about her! I like that! Oh I have so many slippers to pack. I was so happy to get these in. They are like a luvie unto themselves! Very soft! Thanks for watching friend!

[@vbo9872]

It's always so much fun to see how many items you include in your shoeboxes. Your very generous giving will delight, for sure.

[@drogers]

Awww… thank you so much! I pray that each child is filled with wonder and delight with their gift and it lets them know they are loved!

[@theresabell4107]

Very sweet. When you started unpacking, I was laughing because I packed those same slippers and sunglasses in a Minnie Box. I love how you use lots of organza bags in your boxes, makes it feel even more special.

[@drogers]

Thanks Theresa! LOL....those slippers and sunglasses are so cute, right? Great minds pack alike! Thanks for watching!

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

Hi Denise! I'm a little late but it's summer and we are out of the house more than we are in the house now. I love your little occ decor in the background! Oh, this box is so adorable... overloaded with cuteness! I love red minnie the most! That Mickey runner duckie is stinking cute! Loce that you put in good quality pencils. Wow .50 cents for the jat and glove set.....she will love that set. Awesome that you gave her mini figurines as toddlers loce little figurines. My favorites have to be the minnie dress, stuffy, rubber duckie, and the color combinations with tue red and green. This will bring so much joy to this little girl. Great job, Denise!

[@drogers]

Thanks Diana! I appreciate your support! Yes, summer is the best time to be out with your family enjoying the kids! A bit hot here in Maryland today but I will take it over the rain we have had!

[@CTVlogs345]

Minnie is my favorite Disney character. I loved the stuffy and the coloring book best

[@drogers]

Thank you! Minnie is my favorite too! She’s just so sweet! ❤

[@melindaatencio213]

Amazing box I love the dress and stuffy what a blessed little girl ❤

[@drogers]

Thank you 🤗

[@valswain]

Oh my! So sweet! So we had a few things the same or similar like the age and gender of the recipient, sunglasses, figurines, underwear, but this time, our boxes had a lot of differences. I absolutely adore all the bright red colors in your box! Those slippers!! So cute, and what a fantastic deal. I can’t decide if they are my favorite or if it is the stuffy or the dress. You just packed too many cute things for me to pick an absolute favorite lol. Thanks for collaborating with me again, friend! I love doing this with you so much. Talk soon! 😘 lol, I couldn’t remember the name of the bird either

[@drogers]

I forgot to tell you how much I liked your notebook too! Yes, we think a lot alike! Oh I was so happy to pack those sweet slippers. They are so cuddly! I almost did a 10-14 box for a girl. Wouldn't that have been funny if you shared that one and so did I? But I LOVED the 2 - 4 boxes and that was so fun! I loved doing this one with you! Let's do it again friend!

[@Kayla_Schumacher]

Absolutely adorable!! Love her outfit and all her accessories!! ❤

[@drogers]

Thank you so much 😀

[@marieterry625]

Wow….. The entire box is just so darling!

[@drogers]

Thank you Marie! ❤️

[@ששבריבוע]

Very amazing box! just what I needed after going to a concert, I loved it but it was physiclly and mentally exuasting (I'm scared to be outside in the dark) I love all items but espaclly the stuffy :) 🐭

[@drogers]

Oh a concert sounds fun! They are exhausting though! Thanks for watching....now get some rest! 😀

[@selindagutierrez4558]

Such a sweet Minnie box!

[@drogers]

Thank you Selinda!❤️

[@donafellows2313]

I love this idea. One point though. With the age group you mmentioned, those four little figurines could become a choking hazard. I'm sharing this link with my craft group.

[@drogers]

Thank you! I appreciate your concerns. I always worry about choking hazards especially when the boxes say OK for 3+. It’s always a hard call I pray about. As a former preschool teacher my students always played with these small figurines without incident so I am comfortable sending them. I always am happy to hear your thoughts though! Thank you so much and thanks for sharing this video with your group!❤️

[@DeborahMWells]

Another fantastic box. You've inspired me to pack things in organza bags for a special treat. Just packed some fun ones for 10-14 girls

[@drogers]

That’s great Deborah! Oh I really need to pack more 10 - 14 girls! I’m behind on those! Did you do a theme or just pack them full of love?

[@DeborahMWells]

@drogers No themes. Jam packed with lots of love!

[@drogers]

Love it!!!!

[@deniserobinson1054]

Maybe you have mentioned this already on one of your videos but would you be able to tell how you go about storing and organizing items for future boxes?

[@drogers]

Thanks for watching Denise! I might do a video next year on this. A quick summary though… I use 3 gallon bags to gather items for each theme or box. It usually takes me up to a year or more to gather items at the best prices. I have bins of items marked and shelves in my basement that are very full. Hope that helps s little.

[@deniserobinson1054]

Yes. That is very helpful. I’ll look forward to next year to watch your video. I am floored at how many boxes you can do in a year. I would truly love to do OCC boxes on a large scale as a ministry.

[@drogers]

Well I love doing them! If I start early enough then I don’t panic at the end of the year. And of course I shop year round to get the best deals for my boxes.
