Sonia, this is a fantastic box! Love your Chewbacca story! I have a similar story with a Fisher Price bunny for my daughter. I love how you used the space in his Lego box! Great job!!! I use those Kohls coupons too! Great choice of item! Love the clothing selection! I wish I had bought more when we found those deals. I leave the tags on clothing also. Awww… thanks for the kind words. I love you too! You are so sweet. I agree about the notes on top. I found there is no need for them. Boxes still get inspected no matter what. And you were sooooo right to question the paint pots! It happens a lot with the seasonal employees. Love the Star Wars book with stickers! Loved hearing about your boys and how your memories fill your heart. 💕
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I think we all bring our memories, essence and happy times to our shoeboxes. Nothing better than to pack with feeling! I don’t think we could do it otherwise. I bought enough of the 10-14 boys clothes. You are welcome to them….if only we lived closer I could drop some off. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i come for the shoeboxes, i stay for the stories! actually both... but yeah, i just love Sonia's story time! thanks for sharing these wonderful boxes, they're so fun! 💖💖💖
Sonia, you did such a great job on this box. From R2D2 and/or ewok to the Legos, outfit, sticker/activity book…so many great choices for these 10-14 year old boys. Loved! 💛🤎
Oh Sonia I love these boxes. Your story about Chewbacca and your son made my Ashton giggle. He said Mommy that's not a cow 😆 We love Star wars and the little boy that receives these boxes is going to have a blast!
Hi Sonia, This is an awesome box for Mr. 10-14. I love your chats and getting to know you. I was young, like your boys, when the first Star Wars series came out. I think this was one of the first movies where I recall the merchandise being a big thing. I recall helping my Mom with the Christmas shopping one year, and carrying this huge Lego like Star Wars space ship (? Millennium Falcon) to the car. I was sworn to secrecy not to tell my Brother what his Christmas gift was. I love the Star Wars tin - your patience clearly payed off. I have been thinking about packing a small jewellery box for a teen girl. Now, I will be on the look out for boys' tins too! 🚀🌌☄
I can so much relate to your experience buying the Millenium Falcon with your mom. It was the only toy my son asked Santa for and it was nowhere to be found in New York. Finally, we found it in New Jersey a few days before Christmas. It was a close call! 😄😄😄. Great minds think alike….I’m in the process of packing boxes with small jewelry boxes for the older girls. TFW……stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, Sonia! This is a great shoebox! Perfect for 10-14 boys. Funny, I will also be doing Star Wars 10-14 boys as well this year. And I see similarities in the stuff I packed too. But love the stuffy. The outfit is athletic and perfect for an active boy. My favorite is the Darth Vader tin box. Great deal! Very nice to include the stars pouch with the marbles to go with the theme. So awesome you included the 3 Star Wars figurines! Love the story of Chewbacca. I agree Denise is the OCC expert! Another favorite is the magnetic kit! And yes, I got the same set! Thanks for sharing the deal! I haven't started packing those stuffies yet. Anyway, these are fantastic shoeboxes. Another great video. Thanks for sharing, friend! ⭐🌟🌠🌒
Thanks! I too think boys will enjoy their boxes. Can’t wait for your Star Wars unveiling! 😄😄😄 I’ve been saving the stars pouches in the hope of finding marbles. Marbles became non-existing in my area during the pandemic. These marbles came from my donor friend and, perfect for the boxes. The box the plushies came in is a gift in itself. I was thinking of using box for the third Star Wars plush. However, I’m concern about box causing some “rift” when boxes are being passed out to the children. What’s your take? It’s such a great and exciting looking box!
These are great boxes, Sonia! I keep thinking about Princess Leah saying she would rather kiss a Wookie and Hans Solo telling her he could arrange that lol. It’s not easy to find items from the original Star Wars movies (the only ones I like). You did a fantastic job putting these boxes together! Yes! The spinners do remind me of those little fighter space jets. Thanks for that idea, which I will definitely boxlift. 😁. I love love the Space Shuttle pen!
Thanks, Val! Oh yes, I remember that Hans Solo line! I was so please finding the Star Wars figure….they are hard to find! So glad too, you remember the little space jets! Hard to imagine Star Wars dates back to 1977. Boxlift away, dear friend!
Ah, Sonia, this is another great box, and another great memory. I loved hearing about your son and his beloved "bacca." It is wonderful that we have these memories, and I pray that our boxes bring some of that same kind of joy into the lives of these children. I am so glad you found that box because it is perfect for this young man. I am sure he will like putting his treasures in it. The maze and spot the difference books are fun and so great for this in-between age--nearing adulthood but still really kids at heart. They need toys and fun too, and you certainly filled this box with both. Thanks for sharing and "May the force be with you....."
Thanks, Martha! I think when we pack our boxes, so much of our essence gets packed into them. With this particular box, my boys where constantly in my mind. Thanks for your encouragement and friendship. 💗💗💗
Sonia these boxes are perfect for the older boys. My son loved the same items when he was that age. You have a special knack for making wonderful boxes. We all have learned and taken pointers from Denise. She is such a great resource to the shoebox community. My favorite item of all was the prayer necklace. Such a wonderful gift for this young man to treasure. Keep on packing Sonia, you are doing great!!!
Thanks, Charlotte! It was a fun box to pack. Brought back so many happy memories. My boys are now 46 and 50……they are old! 😄😄😄 So many memories of them playing “Star Wars” went into these boxes! And, yes Chewbacca was a living guest in our house back then. 😄😄😄 Thanks for letting me know about playing cards. By the way, comments are turned off on your You Tube. I enjoy so much watching your videos and your Facebook postings. Nice hearing from you, friend! 💕💕💕
This is a wonderful box. My favorite item is The Prayer necklace and the Star Wars figures. He will enjoy playing cards and marbles with his family or friends?😊
Hi, Patricia! Hopefully, you’ll find The Prayer necklace at the 99cent store there! It’s a new item and they have them with the hair accessories. Take great care. ❤️❤️❤️
Great price on the figures! I can never find the backpack/pencil case. They are an awesome item to pack. The “vaca” story was so funny. Yep, I can relate. As for approved items, what I have done in the past is print OCC’s approved email and attach it to the item and in red annotate PC please read below email authorization.
Wow what awesome items you packed for this young man. I love that this box was in memory of what your boys love at that age. I loved hearing the stories attached to each item. Your unboxing are so fun to watch even if long because they have a story attached to them. I cannot wait to see the rest of your boxes.
Thanks, Izzy! Our boxes are reflective of our personalities and life experiences in so many ways. Thanks for always being so dear and encouraging. ❤️❤️❤️
This is another wonderful box. This boy will love it. I enjoy getting to know you through your stories. I started to pre package items also, it really helps the process. Thanks for the inspiration and joy you bring to packing boxes ❤
Thanks, Tammy! I’m so glad that pre-packaging is working well for you. It takes a little extra work at first, but it works. Thanks for watching and for your encouragement. Happy packing! 💕💕💕
What a great story about “bacca” 😆 Reminds me of my parents story about my bro. He always had his soother in his mouth. Got to the point of looking chewed up but he refused a new one. My parents swapped the nipple so that it still look roughly the same. He put it in his mouth once, took it out, looked at it, and never used one again 😂 And to answer your question: Playing cards (4 suit style) and dice are not allowed for Australia, Canada and the UK. Baby Yoda’s name is Grogu 😉 So glad you were able to find that tin! It will be treasured indeed!
@@fedwards2023 haha thanks for sharing your story Fiona. I was a different case. My parents bought 3 different shapes for me thinking they were well prepared. Nope. I didn’t want any of them. Straight up just give me a bottle and I’ll be happy 😆
Hi Sonia, I just want to mention that dice and standard playing cards are not allowed by Samaritan's Purse. They are discussed under FAQ's on their website. I see many people who include them in their unboxing videos. Thank you for your encouraging videos. God bless.
I had not heard they recently began allowing the playing cards, in 2021. Sorry I misspoke, but have they gone and approved dice too? I couldn't find that change.
Happy Saturday! I've been packing similar items as well. CP30 is super cool, what a great plush. Oh Sonia I absolutely love the Lords Prayer medallion it certainly is a wow item. That Darth Vader is the coolest tin every, I love it!!! Nooo don't cut your videos shorter I love them. Chewy is one of my favorite characters. OMG that Ewok is so stinking cute. What a fantastic box Sonia I love it I'm sure the young man is going to absolutely love it. So very inspiring for a Star Wars theme. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is amazing! Star Wars is an amazing theme :) I have a mini-fighter LEGO as well :) (mine is the Millenun Falcon) and i love everything in this box! I was looking online and didn't find a ship that look like the spinner with 3 "parts", you might be refering to a Tie Fighter but those have only 2 Just a little cool detail, it's quite ironic that you chose a dessert themed maze book, since many people refer to Star Wars (and espcally the Mandalorian) as a Space Western XD
Thank you! You are always so very kind. My sons loved the Millenium Falcon when they were young. I remember when the very first movie came out, the Millenium Falcon toy sold out for the holidays. It literally, took a miracle finding one. Drove from NY to NJ and found one at a store called Two Guys Toyland. Seems this was a ….long time ago, in a galaxy far-far-away. Most likely you were not born then! 😄😄😄. Always, enjoy your comments. Do you pack boxes with your family? Take good care! 😃😃😃
@@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987 As much as I want to, I live is Israel and we don't have OCC (And other people might won't be cmnfortable with me packing anyway, since I'm Jewish, and this is a Christian progrem, even tho it's not really matter for me, I'm scared to be attacked)
My goodness, you are watching from so far away! I have many Jewish friends here in the states. As a matter of fact, two of them and myself were planning a trip to Israel before the pandemic broke out. It is still in my bucket list to do. Sorry, I don’t know your name. I really appreciate you watching and reaching out. Have a great, fun week!
@@soniasshoeboxesocc-ninodel3987 I forgot to say, yes XDD the first Trilogy is defnetly before my time XD but I watched the newest one and played many Star Wars games :) and you are the one that is super kind to me :) thanks! I really hope OCC will come to Israel sometime, but if I ever move or even visit a country that do OCC, this is the first thing I do :) :) (Hopefuly it's not a problem for people of other religions to make shoeboxes)
