Oh wow, I absolutely love these! Thanks for sharing your set up before you create the kits. I love that you buy in bulk. Beautiful bandages and chapstick. Great toothbrushes with caps. So awesome you added the utensils in the end. Wow, so many. I hope these show up at my processing table in Baltimore later this year! Thanks for sharing, Denise!
I would be absolutely delighted if these appeared in the filler bin while I was volunteering at the processing center! So wonderful! Thank you, Denise, and God Bless You!😊
Thank you! Oh me too! The sad thing is, these will go into boxes soooo fast! But I guess that’s a good thing too. Just wish I had the ability to do thousands of these!
These are awesome! We've been working on some hygiene filler at home but definitely not as full as yours. These give me some great ideas and I love the idea of packing in bulk instead of doing each pack one at a time. I can see how that would help so nothing gets forgotten. Love all the inspiration you give!!
Glad it was helpful! Yes… bulk packing as I call it… best way to make sure nothing is missed! These were fun and I would LOVE to find something like this in my filler basket at the pc! TFW! You are inspiring too with your creative coloring books and lids!!!!
I love these! The church we send our boxes through sometimes focuses on quantity over quality. Knowing that there are filler packs like these to help those kind of boxes really makes me happy for the kids who get them! 🎉
Quantity over quality is definitely an issue we see at the processing center. We see cartons and cartons of the same thinly packed boxes that are obviously packed by a group. OCC’s emphasis on “full, fun and personal” boxes is an attempt to remind packers what they are looking for. Sadly there is not enough filler like this. Maybe encourage your local church to follow that guideline instead of pushing for quantity. Perhaps it would be awkward or not your place but it’s definitely worth trying.🤷🏻♀️ Thank you for watching Sarah!
What an awesome idea! I love the Mylar bags! I think I’ll have a lot of leftover soap, washcloths, toothbrushes, and combs. I usually just send filler in a giant box but this is a task I can do. I’ve also been putting in utensils in my boxes this year. Great job putting these together!
Thanks my friend! The Mylar bags work great for this! I had so many utensils leftover that this was a great way to package them up! So many ideas in my head and so little time to do them all!😂TFW!
@@drogers I just bought some at DT, but was thinking the same thing when I saw these. I will definitely think twice before picking up another pack of 14 ct for $1.25.
What nice filler. It’s like another gift inside the box. Do you put your card with your email in those bags? Just wondered if you ever hear from a child on filler items. I found a lot of boys underwear packs for 1.00 yesterday. More then I need so putting with socks for filler,but trying to figure what else I could put with them. I love it when you show us filler you are doing ❤
Thanks Tammy! I do not put my name or my card on these. The only time I do that is with my pencil packs for the Pencil Granny. And yes, I did hear back once from one of those recipients! 😊
And by the way, the underwear with socks is a fantastic idea!!!! Maybe add a comb? Or something like that? If not, just the socks and underwear is great!
Thanks Judy! Yeah, I skipped soap too but still love the soft wash cloths. Exhausted me last year to pull soap for two days from boxes at the PC for boxes going to Tanzania. So that was enough for me to say ok, done with soap! lol.
Hi Denise, These are fun and practical hygiene kits. I now recall packing something similar last year and adding a few hair ties ... even for the boys! For my gender neutral packs I opted for black hair ties vs. brighter colours for the girls. On the topic of soap. I have been advised the ingredients of soap may cause issues with receiving countries. AU may also phase out by 2025. It is no longer on the recommended items, but not yet on the do not send.
Hi Fiona! Hair ties would have been great to add! Good idea!!! I’ll try to remember that next time! Yes, the U.S. no longer has soap on the recommended list as well. It will not be allowed in 2025. Last year I spent two days pulling soap from boxes going to Tanzania. It was exhausting…so I had a feeling it was going to possibly be phased out.
I always put two or three toothbrushes in my personal boxes, but after watching this, I’m going to start putting in 2. Dr. Fresh 6 pack are just a dollar so it makes sense to add the extra. I also am going to purchase the Mylar bags. I have hundreds of the spoons from IKEA and will now add that as well. Just never thought of it! Great ideas as always, thanks for sharing!
I had so many spoons too. Makes perfect sense since they are also on the occ suggested list! The Mylar bags work nicely and hold everything very secure. I think you’ll like them! Thanks for watching! I’m always glad to hear these are helpful!
You can drop off filler at any local shoebox drop off location near you. You can go to the website and put in your zip code to find one., Just be sure to clearly mark “filler” on the outside of the box. Hope that helps! 💕

What a great idea! Personal care packs for fillers! Thank you for suggesting and showing these! ❤❤❤
You are so welcome!🤗
These will be so appreciated by the receiving children. 🥰
I think so too! At least I hope so. 🥰
Very nice Denise. You come up with such good idea's.
Thank you! 😊
❤ Thank you and God bless you for sharing Denise ❤
Thanks for watching! ❤️
These are so nice! 🤩 you included such great quality items. I love Mylar bags. I use them for lots of things 😊
The Mylar bags hold up very well. I’ve been using them for some of my pencil packs this year also! TFW friend! 🥰

Incredible filler bags. You think of everything.
Ehhhh…. Just comes from working so many hours at the PC and knowing what I wish I had in my filler bins!😊
Beautiful fillers! They will love these bags too. Thanks for brightening my day!
Glad you like them and you are so welcome! 🥰
These turned out beautifully, Denise. Such a nice assortment of pretty things. The bandages and lip balms are faves 🩷💙
Thanks Trish! I love the bandaids!!! I’m going to stop buying them at DT I think now that I’ve found these. So colorful! Thanks for watching friend!!!

These are wonderful, Denise. This is my first year of not doing soap so I skipped washcloths too, but I might rethink that for next year.

Such wonderful fillers. Thanks for including all the item links! Really helps!
You are so welcome!🤗
Great filler…never thot to do one like this😎
Thanks Pat! You know what it’s like in that processing line!!!! I would love something like this to come through, right?
Very nice =)
Thanks Theresa!
These are so amazing and creative. These kids will love it. I have a passion for these shoeboxes too!! Where do you get those bookmarks??
The bookmarks were on Amazon. There is a link in my description. So pretty! Thanks for watching!🤗
I’m always afraid that certain items might melt
If there are any issues with melting Operation Christmas Child will let us know. So far nothing to report!
Hello, I was wondering how you get the filler items to the processing center if you do not live near one. Thanks!
You can drop off filler at any local shoebox drop off location near you. You can go to the website and put in your zip code to find one., Just be sure to clearly mark “filler” on the outside of the box. Hope that helps! 💕
Where did you get the mirrors and lip balms in bulk?
Amazon. All links are in the description. ❤️
