How very sweet of you to comment! Thank you! It was fun doing this box. I hope it brings happiness to girl receiving. Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate you! 💗💗💗

Where are you Sonia? I have been praying for you. I miss you and your beautiful boxes. I love your stories, and your love for our Lord. God Bless you!

Just discovered your channel. What a lovely shoebox!💜💗📿👚🩴The jewellery box is adorable 😍 Everything you've included is a gem! You have made some young girl very happy, indeed.👏

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

Thank you, Elaine! I appreciate hearing from you. I too hope it was to the young girl’s delight. Bringing a spark of hope and joy to the kiddos is special. Thank you for watching and subscribing. Best to you. 💕💕💕

This box is wonderful. I love it all and so will this lucky girl. The scissors are awesome ❤

[@twniyahjackson5842]

I can't wait to do something similar to this when I'm much older enough (only 17 will be 18 in February) I love giving back I always want to make a difference for people less fortunate than me but I'm too young right now I can't get out into the world like I want and visit homeless shelters, foster care centers, kid hospitals and ect

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

Twniyah, what a beautiful heart you have! You attitude and drive to help the needy is commendable 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. There are many ways that one can give back to the community like volunteering at local hospitals, animal shelters, homeless shelters, schools and many others. When the time is right, I know you will find the right place to volunteer at. It warms my heart whenever I see young people like yourself wanting to give back. I’m retired and now have the time to give back. You are young and have so much to live for and give. Your comment brought tears of joy to my eyes. My hope in my videos is to encourage others to give back with a simple shoebox to benefit a child. Your caring and loving comment I will always treasure. Thank you! Wishing you and yours the warmth and love of the Holiday Season! - Sonia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks, Emily! Thinking of being on the lookout for more of these “travel” size adult jewelry cases for 2022 boxes. Got the “jewels” online from the Children’s Place summer sale…great prices. Pulled an “Emily like shopping buying spree” and got lots of “fine jewelry” pieces. LOL 😂 🤣😂🤣

@@loveinashoebox6509 I think I paid $10 or $12 for mine (Amazon). Paid using rewards credit. Just ordered a similar one for $6.75 (Amazon) for quality comparison. Will report back! 🤣😂🤣. Amazon should give us commission….🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@eastcoaststories]

Sonia, this may be my favorite of yours so far!! This is what a 10-14 shoebox is supposed to look like! I got a jewelry basket when I was 10-11, and I was obsessed with it. The jewelry box is amazing! The watch is beautiful. Love the gold touches. The outfit and flip flops are gorgeous. And of course the sewing kit! Of course, leave the scissors in! It will last the girl for years. Superb box, Sonia!! 💍🩴✂️

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

Thank you, Sharon! I value your feedback so VERY much. I hope this young girl enjoys the jewelry box as much as you and I did ours that to this day we cherish. I think for next year will do more of them for the 10-14 girls. Take good care. 🥰🥰🥰

[@annecornine8469]

Love the box!!! You are very generous!! Any teen gal would love everything that you have put together!

[@valswain]

Oh, Sonia! I think this is my favorite box of yours! That jewelry box is so special. The young lady who receives this box will definitely treasure it as much as you treasured your gift when you were that age 💗. You put so much thought and love in to packing this box. I still plan on boxlifting your sewing kit in the sunglasses case idea 🥰. Oh, I got that same bling bling! I went on a crafting retreat with my girlfriends. We always play a rob your neighbor game and I got that bling bling as my rob your neighbor gift 😁

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

Thank you, Val! Loved doing this box and praying this young girl will love it too. Planning to do a few in 2022. The Children’s Place (online) is great to order jewelry from. Right now, they are showing at 50% off. I wait till they come down to 70-80% off. I don’t know how to sew, but I think the kids sunglasses case hold enough of the sewing essentials. I love your crafting retreat…..how fun that must have been! Can wait to see your sewing kits…..make sure to film it….waiting anxiously for it. Stay well and safe, my friend! 🥰🥰🥰

[@elena-n5q]

Love the jewelry case. Wonderful idea!

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

Hi Dawne! Thank you for tuning in and for your kind words. I started “shoeboxing” (did 8 boxes) Nov 2020 like right before OCC collection week. It was not until March, 2021 that I started making boxes to become a “beautiful obsession”. Learning more about the program and watching videos of wonderful “OCC boxers” has been of invaluable help to me. Like you, I’m a newbie not only at boxing but videoing. So much to learn still, like editing, blah, blah, blah. Welcome! Can’t wait to see some of your boxes……🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Chrystal300]

I 💛 this box it's so thoughtful of you, I am a sock person the prettier the better and these are the cutest☺️

Keeping my eyes on Amazon for when they go down in price. Also, around the holidays when jewelry cases come out. Thank you for subscribing and for your feedback. I appreciate you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@fedwards2023]

Hi Sonia, This is a beautiful box for Miss 10-14. I love the jewellery case. I remember getting my first jewellery box with a spinning ballerina when I was 5 and my first watch when I was 10. Both were very treasured items. I have a packed a jewellery box for Miss 5-9 with plastic beads just like those I given when I was 5. I am now inspired to create a jewellery box for Miss 10-14. TFS! 📿

This is such a sparkly, glam box! I love it, and I know whoever receives it will, too. :D The color scheme is fantastic, very girly, and there's a great mix of fun and practical items. That jewelry box is definitely a wow item and will be cherished for years to come. The sewing kit and shears will definitely be very useful (keep the shears, by the way! If the girl doesn't use them, her mom or another family member will absolutely be able to find a use for them), the stickers are so chic, and the little platypus so fun and silly! You did a great job putting it all together. 👍

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

Thank you! Thank you! I think the same with the jewelry box…..a small box that will grow with her. Ditto on the shears. Paid $1 at Walmart. Silly me, instead of getting the 7 on the shelve, got 4 instead. Definitely, a lapse in “purchasing decision”….. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Best to you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@drogers]

Golden Girls is my favorite show! This box is certainly golden! I love everything in it! Those scissors are perfect! My favorite is the jewelry box with all the beautiful treasures! That is a true keepsake! I had a similar box as a teen and I loved it! I sent jewelry boxes last year with dancing ballerinas! I bought so many stringy majiggy’s! Lol… at that price why not? I’ll donate what I don’t use! Thank you for sharing this beautiful 10-14 box! Hope you had a nice vacation! It is good to see you back again! (You cracked me up about stopping at the Walmart’s… what do you think I did when I was at the beach? Yep..welcome Walmart shopper Queen Denise!😂)

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

I’m still laughing 😂 lol 😂 😂😂😂😂. Frommer’s Travel Guide has nothing on us. Just to think they don’t list/recommend Walmart as a “destination point and place to visit.”…….🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 (Me too about the Golden Girls….watch it over and over)

Thank you, Diana! I so appreciate your kind words. This was a special box to put together. Brought back memories of my “teen” jewelry box birthday gift! There was a watch inside my jewelry case, and this made me feel so special and grown up. Kids here now use their smartphone clock……it was nice packing an “old fashion” watch…..LOL. 🥰🥰🥰

[@ScotiaGirl902]

you should be able to find the locations where your boxes go, we have, ours have been going to warm countries for years. Your drop off should be able to tell you, that's who told us. Do you have the tracking labels?? we don't have them here in Canada. I love the outfit! everything goes well together. I have a little paltapus but a pink one! haven't used it yet

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

Hi……how goes with you? Yes, we have both tracking and non-tracking labels. I have to attach my labels still. Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I’m so happy to be part of this OCC community and being connected with other boxers like yourself. Can’t wait to see what you do with pink platypus…….🥰🥰🥰

[@ameliaharrop-davies6820]

Wow, love it! Must have cost a fortune, no?! I want to do this age range but I don’t think I could afford to do very many this well. Is it better to do one or two really good ones, or multiple decent but not amazing ones?

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

Hello, Amelia! Thank you so very much for connecting and subscribing. For starters, I’m “newbie” OCC boxer. As far a prices and buying 💰 smart…..it’s been a learning experience for me. This particular box was more than what I budget per box. I went a little crazy with it. The shirt is from The Children’s Place on-line summer clearance. Pack of 3 shirts were $12.95 ($4.33 each). I had rewards points from previous purchases, so shirt came to $3.99. Leggings were $3.99. The jewelry box got from Amazon and paid using my credit card rewards point and paid $5.99. The jewelry, also from The Children’s Place online sale, came to very little about $3. The watch from Walmart was $6. Old Navy flip flops were $2.50. I think this box together with the Little Princess box, were my two most expensive. Sometimes, it’s difficult to not get carry away! Moving forward, I cannot move at this pace….yikes! I try keeping my boxes in the low $20 range whenever possible. Also, item prices vary from state to state. From other OCC boxers, I have learned much about smart buying, where to purchase and when to buy that I feel my 2022 are not going to be as price challenging as my 2021. I think “multiple decent” boxes for 10-14 age is a good way to go. My goal for 2022 is to include itemized prices for each box in description page. Hope this all makes sense. Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate you. 💗💗💗

@@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987 wow! thank you for breaking it all down for me! That’s really helpful. I’m going to watch some more videos and do some bargain hunting online haha! I loved your idea of a sewing kit, I’d never have thought of that!

[@dianecraigslist6555]

I love this box. The young lady who receives it will love it too. Where did you get the travel jewelry box? I would love to find some.

[@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987]

Hi Diane, thanks so much for watching and for your lovely feedback. Got the travel jewelry box through Amazon. I think I paid $10 or $12. Paid it with reward points, so I keep trying to convince myself it was FREE ….yikes! This morning, I ordered one for $6.75 for comparison. When I receive it, planning to do a comparison video of the two. The “fine jewelry” is from the Children’s Place summer online sale. Their children jewelry is very nicely done. Jewelry cases are hard to find, except during Christmas. They seem to be a seasonal item. I’m so happy how this box turned out that I’m planning to make more for next year. It can be difficult finding “the right fun gift” for a teen young lady…….🥰🥰🥰🥰
