    The idea of filling a shoebox with things a shoebox youtuber would have been happy about when she was in her teens is very entertaining. ☺ 👏

      @@mattmanandrobynn You're not that old! A blink of an eye. 😂 And above all, a few things don't change: gel pens used to be a blast (I'm about the same age as you) and are still popular now! 🙂 Over here in Europe I even find sometimes the ones with scent 😊 💕

    This is a great shoebox, Robynn! First let me say, I love your rationalization for using a bigger box. And you are so right. Why should a child get less because they’re bigger? That set of gel pens is a fantastic WOW!! I just received a set from Angie for a girls 10-14 outer space box. I’m so excited to include it. Love the fairy lights. So much fun. Thanks for sharing this super fun and practical box that any teenager would appreciate and love ❤️

    Class of 2007 over here! 🙌🏼 I love how much thought you put into this box. Ariel was always my favorite Disney princess! I have been packing my menstrual pads the same way and I’m using your printable for instructions! Thank you!! I laminate as well and then include line and clothes pins for the young lady. I picked up a few of the cosmic cats coloring and sticker pages from dollar general and have found them to be so useful in boxes! I really enjoyed this unboxing for an older girl, went so well with the 2000’s theme!

    Hi Robynn, This is a cool box for Miss 10-14. I love the gel pens and all the 'art' supplies. The concept of packing yourself into a box is a great source of inspiration. Perhaps you could include a teen photo of yourself.
    This year, I packed a musical jewellery box with a fairy/ballerina for Miss 5-9. This type of jewellery box was my Wow gift for my 6th Birthday. For Miss 10-14, I packed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. That was my favourite outfit as a teen - no mess, no fuss. Even my hair was dead straight - a "nothing" or self-managed hair-style according to my curly haired teen friends. 👩‍🦱

    I still chew gum everyday! but the PUR brand for a few years now! We loved similar things for sure! I would have graduated in 03' but had to go back an extra year. I have had such a hard time packing pads in the OCC boxes...because its so hard to fit in with other essentials and a water bottle. The pad on the underwear is a good idea and in my opinion perfectly fine to show!! periods are normal and should be normalized (like breast feeding!) but I totally get it as a young girl. Beautiful box!

    • @mattmanandrobynn

    Just a little note, I know that the 10-15 in the title was probobly a typo, but I really wish that 15-18 was another age range, I feel like the older teenagers could also use amazing boxes from OCC

    I really like your Teen Robynn box. I believe the young lady who receives this gift will be wowed by the whole box. Especially the large pack of gel pens. So much wow in this box. I do have one suggestion. Plain printer paper for all those pens, if you have alittle room on the bottom. This is a box full of creative fun and love. Did the head towel come with picture instructions?. You Rocked at 16 and you Rock in 2022. Love you girl 💕

    Thanks for sharing pads stuff. I just learned about that. I got an Amazon order in just in time as drop off is next week for me. FYI I'd also love info about sizes as I have not kids & have no idea about kid sizes. Google is saying to much for me lol....

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  Год назад +2

      Well. I’m no expert as we don’t have kiddos either. However it seems with my nieces and nephew that whatever age they are is the size they wear. So a 6 year old wears roughly a size 6 😉
      My goal is to pack for the top of the age range so here is what I aim to pack:
      2-4 age. 5T or XS
      5-9 age. 10 or M
      10-14 age. 14 or L-XL
      Hope this helps. 👍

    You are too cute... Wish I had your style as a teenager ;). Oh, GEL PENS!!! We used to give gel pen "tattoos" LOL.
    Just a thought, I see the box has weaker corners. You might want to wrap tape around the box once or twice just to make sure the box holds up. It might be sturdier than it looks, but if the box is a bit flimsy tape can definitely help. Just a thought. ;)
