This week is collection week at local churches for the donation of packed shoeboxes to send to underprivileged children around the world (along with a donation of $9 for shipping).
It recommends sending one "Wow" gift along with other small items such as school supplies and personal care (but no liquids).
For this box I picked:
- Trolls themed decorate your own jewelry box
- Dove soap
- Soft wash cloth
- Small plastic cup
- Toothbrush
- Flip flops
- Child safe scissors
- Box of crayons
- 2 packs of Colored pens
- Colored elastic strings
- Small beads
- Psalms adult coloring book
- Booklight
- Fold up backpack
- White with gray stripes and pink stitching Cat and Jack tank dress (pictured below)
To be frugal but still get nice items, I buy things year-round to pack in the boxes.
For example, the crayons, pens and scissors and backpack were purchase at back to school sales, the jewelry box last year after Christmas on clearance and the dress below last Winter.
You can also pack a shoebox box online and pay for it if you don't have time to shop.
