    I love making 10-14 yo boxes. They are my favorite. Maybe it’s bc I have a 12 and 13 year old right now, but it brings a lot of joy to make gifts for that age group! Love all of these ideas!

    What a fun-filled box. A boy is sure to love it. I really enjoy packing for 10-14 boys, it might even be my favorite group to pack for. I hope lots more people will be encouraged to pack for them.

      I love this age group too! But sometimes I do get stuck on the wow and I don’t do as many themed boxes for this age group. Usually they are just very well rounded boxes with a lot of fun and useful items. I do hope this encourages more people to pack for this age group. It’s really needed. And they can be so fun to put together! Thanks for watching, Denise!

      I know what you mean! Walmarts in my area have been going through remodels and those stores have had lots of clearances this year. I picked up quite a few Umbro soccer balls for $5 and $6 so wow item is easy. I still enjoy packing a fun box with games and useful items though. Those are easier to pack in regular size boxes. BTW, you fit a lot into that photo box! I have some of those same boxes and have avoided using them so far, I'm expecting them to challenge me. They don't seem to have any give. 😂

      @@denise5457 Oh I would love an Umbro soccer ball for $5! Great find! Standard size boxes do challenge me...I just want to give them EVERYTHING! LOL....but I do try my best to use them when I can. I find it particularly hard for the older girls to fit everything in that size. Especially if you add pads. Our packing problems....LOL.

    What a fantastic and creative idea to use the shower curtain for the cute and unique drawstring back pack. I just love that. And I bet it will last a really long time for this young man. I really like this box. So many great items. You pack some of the best 10-14 boy boxes I have seen. I get tons of ideas from your boxes. Thanks for sharing, friend!

      Thanks Val! Oh your comment is here now! How strange! Well my internet has been a little wacky today. Can you imagine using a shower curtain to repurpose into a backpack? Well I never would until I did it. 😂🤣😂. I made it very sturdy too so I think it will last. I still struggle with this age group though. I just keep trying and hoping what I pack will be loved and appreciated. Thanks for watching friend! 😘

    A great Christmas Box for this 10-14 year old boy, Denise! He will love everything. My favorites are the t-shirt with skating Santa, the drawstring bag (shower curtain, ooohhhh so very clever, the badger and the mini cars/launcher (not at my DT yet). The string/knot “fidget” pastime game = brilliant! And, you are so right, it is so easy to get caught up in the moment packing for the younger ones with so much cute stuff around. I love packing for this age group, and yet somehow I tend to always pack them last….LOL. Thanks for the great many inspirations you always share. Happy Packing!

They are out now and really good quality! Thanks my friend! 😘

I too have been known to purchase dog toys such as stuffies and balls. I do love the unique backpack you made. Homemade items are extra special. I know this young made is going to be delighted with his shoebox. ☺️

    You can’t go wrong with this box for a 10-14-year-old boy. It’s got something for everyone, no matter what his age or interests. I’m currently packing a handyman themed box for a 10-14-year-old boy and going through the same struggles, trying to fit in enough fun since he’s getting tools. Coincidentally, I wound up packing many of the same “extras”. I do love the laminated knots instructions. I think I may have to box lift that one, since I included Diamond braid rope. I LOVE this box. I think it turned out great! TFS ❤️

    • @drogers
      @drogers  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Trish! I’ve a got a few tool boxes to pack also. Those always worry me because as you say “trying to fit in enough fun” can be a challenge. You can do it! I know you will bless the boy greatly with whatever you can get in there! You always pack great boxes! I just remember a response this year from a boy who said his favorite thing was “the hammer”! So pack away! Thanks for watching! And glad you liked the knot instructions. Let me know if you have trouble finding it. I’ll send you mine.

    Always love a Christmas themed shoebox! I think you packed lots of wow items - the stuffy, harmonica, watch, the collapsible cup, car launcher, and lots more. I need to find that car launcher at DT. So cool to add the string and knot picture. I may do that myself. Great idea. Great price on the pocket game. Love the Christmas coloring book. My favorite is the plaid pencil case. So awesome you included red and green toothbrushes. Very cool Santa shirt. The backpack is brilliant! Very cool that you made it out of a 10 cents shower curtain. Looks fantastic. Another fun shoebox, Denise! Lots of fun items for an older boy. Thanks for sharing! 🎄🎄🎄

      Hey, I just popped into DT today and those car launchers are still out there. They are very good quality! Thanks for all the kind words. I hope this inspires someone to pack for this age range. I think sometimes they shy away from it because the girl items are so cute, right? There are so many cool boy items out there though. I want to order more of those collapsible cuisine but I bet the price has gone way up! Thanks again my friend!

    Denise, I think you did such a wonderful job with this box for this 10 to 14 year old young man. I think your comment about how it is possible that the box as a whole becomes a wow is so accurate for this box. Starting with that cute stuffy and then adding the watch and harmonica along with the fun items like the cars and marbles will surely delight this boy. Adding the backpack really tops off the box for me. How clever of you to use that shower curtain to make it. Once again, another great box that is so inspirational to see. 🎄🎄🎄

    Such good ideas, and I too am always on lookout for my 10-14 boys. After viewing the Barreto family videos (missionaries in Columbia), I am going to be adding deodorant to older boys boxes (same idea as menstrual pads in older girls boxes). The comment that it is a very expensive, but very needed item for this age group has promted me to start including this year. I think your backpack is ingenious, and I love the I can draw books. What a cute plush! Others are following this lead, as I am seeing more packers buying the discounted dog toys. TFS

    Thanks for the great video, very inspiring! I like to pack for the older boys. Sometimes my grandson helps and I love that! Just wondering, do you put all the school supplies loose in the shoebox, or contain them somehow? Maybe put an elastic band around all the pens and pencils? I usually put the school supplies in a zippered pencil case, but at the PC I have seen many where the school supplies are loose.

    • @drogers
      @drogers  2 года назад

      Hi Lois! You are welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I only pack school supplies loose when space is a consideration. When you bundle them, they take up more space. I always include a pencil case for the child though. It’s always like a Tetris puzzle trying to get everything packed in there! I’ve tried it many different ways and packing them loose seems to work the best for me in a standard size shoebox. Thanks for watching! I’ll have another video soon! Happy packing!

We both agree it's something we want to do. Very much so. I plan to start with a 9-14 year old boy. I figure it will only get easier from there. We bought our first item on Sunday. I bought a Graduation Beanie Baby for a party we're going to, and got a St Bernard Beanie named Bernie free yay! Do you think that is okay for this age group? I figured a dog is gender neutral so it's okay for a boy.
