Dolls

I had been praying for Dolls after seeing so many girls eyes light up when they received a doll.

  And Friday at Dollar Tree I these dolls for $1.25!

Multiple Monday-Clothes Line and Bungee Cords

 I love giving variety in my boxes! I found rope at dollarama and with my dad's help we were able to divide it between 4 boxes. It was alot of rope for $1.00! We walked around the house, well the middle part, a few times:) And I bought a package of clothes pins. So I added 6-7 to each bag. So for $2.00 I could give 4 girls -clothes lines and pins. Or they could use the rope for other things.

And for boys boxes, I like to add bungee cords.  My son had this idea and they use them all the time.  So why not add it to a boys box.

What do you like to divide?

Friday Favorite- Skipping Rope

Add a skipping rope to your boxes!  They provide hours of fun:)

Every girl deserves to feel like a princess!  They are a child of The King!

I love it when boxes end up having a theme.  This one came together so nicely.

Sewing Kits

I always like packing items which could help the recipient.

I try to include a sewing kit in all my 10-14 boxes.

The top sewing kit I found at Giant Tiger for $4.00.

The scissor seems like really good quality.

The bottom kit I found at walmart.

They are normally $5.00 but at my walmart they are clearing them out for $3.00.

They both have a variety of items: scissor, measuring tape, pin cushion, needles, thread, etc.

I also found a huge bag of buttons on sale at Walmart for $1.50.

I bought that and I added more buttons to each kit.

I will probably have enough buttons for this year and next from this bag.

I am also planning on adding more safety pins to each kit.

As they only came with a few.

And safety pins always come in handy.

Another idea is to take the sewing kits from hotels.

Not all hotels have them. 

But if you happen to luck out, take it along and put it in your box.

I have a few friends who travel often who are

 collecting for our packing party this Christmas season.

Thrift Store Finds

I am always on the hunt for OCC items. 

And one of the places I often look are thrift stores. 

There are so many new items people give away.

Treasures just waiting to be found.

 This week I found this for .50 cents.  

I figure it will be good for 2 older girl boxes.
