  • This past weekend I boxed up 5 soccer boxes for Boys 10 - 14 for Operation Christmas Child. Each boxed is carefully packed with a soccer ball, water bottle and a pump! This can sometimes be a challenge in a standard size shoebox but come along and see how I did it! I encourage you to pack for this age group because they seem to recieve the least amount of boxes every year! Happy packing friends!

    The “How to inflate a Soccer Ball” in several languages came from the FB group OCC Shoebox Packers. I forgot to mention.

    Love this! I love multiple shoebox packing. And 5? Wow! The mini stuffies are adorable. My favorites are the soccer notebooks and water bottles. The soccer bracelets are gorgeous. Another favorite are the soccer shirts. I like that you included a soccer make a face sticker sheet in each pencil pouch. ANOTHER favorite are the marble soccer pouches you made. Love the fabric on that. Great size soccer balls for older boys. I like watching you pack in the end. Super fun and very packed shoeboxes, Denise! Thanks for sharing! ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

      Thanks for watching Sharon! These have been in the works for some time so I was so happy to pack them up! I have a few more soccer boxes to go! Aren’t those make-a-face soccer players hilarious? I think the boys will love them! Very packed indeed! Hope they love them and they truly touch their lives. 💕

    I have some similar make-a-scene sticker sheets (like the soccer players). I have been stapling the sticker sheet to a piece of 9" x 12" colored construction paper (just on the corner) to help the kids understand the concept and give them a paper to create the scene on. Just my idea. 🙂

    Great boxes, you got so much in those boxes.I love how fun the boxes were. I packed soccer boxes but don’t think I did a very good job with the balls. I had to deflate them and they didn’t seem as flat as yours. I just put the socks and underwear in them but will try and go back and put the pump inside the ball and see if that doesn’t give me more space.
    Your boxes are so inspiring. These boys will love them❤

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому

      They definitely deflate less when we do it ourselves. I’m sure your boxes were great and will be loved! 🥰⚽️💕

    No way! I thought for sure you were not going to be able to fit much. And yet, you did and with a size 5 soccer ball! I only pack size 5 soccer balls also. Love all the sports items.

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks Maritza! It can be done! lol. I like size 5 too when I can get them on a good deal. These were such an amazing deal that included the bottles, pumps and backpacks! I jumped on it. Of course it has gone back up but I’m going to keep my eye on it! 😉

    Do you keep tabs on how much each box costs to put together? You have such delightful items and they are all of good quality!

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому +1

      Ummmmm…. No.😂 I should but I don’t. I know that I stick very close to $5 or less for the wow item. Everything else is year round shopping at bottom clearance prices, card points, gift cards, donations etc I am still on a budget of sorts but I find so much from clearance shopping that some boxes cost very little and some cost more. Hope that helps if only a little. 💕

    Denise, these boxes are packed with so much fun and joy for 5 blessed boys! The lenticular soccer spiral notebooks are fantastic! If they were ever in my DT stores I must have missed them 😮. Love the assortment of cute Itty Bitty stuffies. The make-a-face soccer player stickers and sports stickers are so different and fun! So many great items included for this age boy. ⚽️🥅🏟️👏👏

      Thanks Trish! Couldn’t believe I still had exactly 5 of those lenticular notebooks left! There were basketball and football notebooks also! It’s one of those items that never came back. The make-a-face stickers are fabulous. New item for me and I think the boys will get a “kick” out of them! 😂⚽️Thanks for watching friend!

    Oh how awesome these boxes are! I love multi packing videos and it’s so helpful to show how you pull the items. I super love how you put the make a face sticker sheet in the window of the pencil pouch!! Really cute idea to make the soccer marble bags. Soccer balls are not easy to pack in OCC boxes so I’m sending you a round of applause 👏! TFS!
