Two very cute boxes. God was surely leading you to that Big Bird-very cute. Those Sesame Street masks are very cute. The robot stuffie is so funny and looks cuddly. You always find the sweetest items. I agree with you, every box has a story, a memory from childhood or something my kids liked, or sometimes just feel very lead by the Lord to get this or that for a shoebox. If prayers are in it, we can’t go wrong. TFS
Not only can you sew bit you can draw! Amazing job! Wow...big bird from a big God! I love his sweet t shirt and golden book. That sesame street sticker pad is so unique. How wonderful you found the robot stuffy you prayed for! The little robots are super fun and cute! I love that wooden car as well. The fun bandaids in the hygiene kit make is so cute...i know he will love those. So many fun toys for him to play with! Thanks for sharing your story behind each box. You definitely have a passion for this ministry.🤖❤️💛🐤
Thank you so much Diana! Yes, we all have that great passion. I love that you said, “a big bird from a big God!” So true! I pray these boys are so excited with each individual gift. Thank you always for kind words. We all need them! 🥰🤗❤️
Beautiful shoeboxes, Denise! First shoebox - That Big Bird stuffy is definitely a wow item. And such a classic icon. The stuffy was meant for this shoebox. Such an awesome price. The coloring book and figurines are perfect for this theme. The blocks are awesome. Great find with the shirt! My favorite is the Golden Book. Second shoebox - stop, never saw that Robot stuffy at Walmart! Great find!! The coloring book, and notebook were perfect for this theme. I love that you gave so many Robert figurines. I love that each shoebox is different. I know the boys that receive these shoeboxes will be thrilled to have these. Amazing shoeboxes as always, Denise!! Thanks for sharing! It's down to the wire now!
Thanks Sharon! Kinda fun to share two different themes this time. Each story unique with fun stuffies! Hard to pack but will surely be a fun wow! Yep, down to the wire!!!!!!
Two really cute ones, Denise! That is one BIG Big Bird! That little boy is going to be jumping for joy when that big yellow bird popped out 😂. OMG, the robot stuffy!!! Another biggie!! So fun!! And so amazing that he was still on the shelf at 75%+ off! The wooden car is pretty cool, too. I love this box and so will the little guy who gets it 🤖💛🩶💛🩶
Hi Denise, These are fun boxes Mr. 2-4. I love the pose of the Robot in his Vid ... just chillin'. I also love hearing stories about finding what is needed to complete a box. My stores are currently doing a lot of stuffed animal clearance. So, yesterday, I was up to armpits foraging the shelves looking for the animals on my list. This is when I found a mouse dressed as a ballerina. Perfect to match Miss 2-4's ballerina mouse Christmas t-shirt. Miss Mouse was not on my list, but I was so excited to find her! 🩰
You noticed the robot pose!!!! 😂😂😂I switched him up mid vid! Yeah, just chillin’😂. Oh don’t you just love it when you are lead to and find the perfect stuffie for a box? It’s thrilling thinking about the joy on the child’s face! So glad you found Miss Ballerina Mouse! She will surely brighten a child’s heart! Thanks for sharing Fiona! ❤️
I pack a lot of toys that I myself would have loved or loved as a child. God leads me to buy certain items & to pack certain items as well! Last weekend, I packed several boxes that some of my elderly church members paid me to pack for them. I had bought months ago some dolls clothes from Daiso and was disappointed to find that they are just a little too small for barbies. I thought that I wasted my money. But one of the boxes I packed had a sparkle girlz doll as the wow and these dolls are skinnier than barbies. The dresses & shoes from Daiso fit this doll, I was so surprised! God led me to buy those clothes because He knew they would fit this doll! Praise Him, He is SO good! I didn't even have the clothes with me when I was packing the boxes, God brought them to my mind that I had them in my stash! The big bird plush is so nice and bright! Such a cute shirt and love the blocks you included. Cute box! The robot plush is super cute! I love those wooden cars and the adorable little people. Love the make a robot stickers, super fun box!
So true about every box having a story ! God definitely puts certain items in our path also. That robot soft toy is very unique and so cute. Both wonderful! ❤
Love both boxes. I’m so glad you showed the Robot box. I remember you showing the robot and I liked it, little did I know weeks later I would find one at 90 off laying on the shelve. Of course I did buy it but wasn’t sure how I would pack it.😆 Glad to have seen your box for ideals. Yes, I guess if I really stop to think about it a lot of my boxes do have stories. I took all 77 boxes and 24 boxes of filler to the processing center on Tuesday.I told my husband I felt like I was sending gifts to all my children. My basement empty and ready to organize and get ready for next year. Thank You for a wonderful year of showing your boxes, ideals, and inspiration for OCC.❤❤❤
Oh I love this. ❤️That’s exactly how I feel! When dropping my boxes off, I call them my babies! And since I don’t have any grandchildren yet, I consider every recipient a grandchild! ❤️And when you pack the robot, lots of flat things, lay him down and tuck in things around him That’s my tip! He’s an awesome stuffie!!!! So glad you found one at 90% off! Yep, now onto organization, regrouping and prepping for 2025! Thanks Tammy for being here, supporting, commenting and watching! 🥰
You always fit so much fun stuff in your boxes! I don’t know how you do it! Great box for a special little boy! Your second box is just as awesome and cute!
I cannot pick a favorite. They are both awesome. Love the story of the plush. It was meant to be. Since you showed them last year, I now pack a bendable robot in each of my boy toddlers.
I don't think I can pick a favourite! I love both boxes! Sesame Street was one of my favourite shows as a little kid. I remember watching it before school at daycare when I was 5/6 years old. Love both big stuffies! They're sure to bring these little guys a lot of joy ❤
Your stories about how God provides for each box is very encouraging. I'd also like to tell you that you are very talented in drawing for your shoebox lids. Thanks for sharing.
It warms the soul to feel God’s guidance to “just the right” toy for a box. The Big Bird and Robot will each reach the child whose heart longs for them. Both boxes are exceptional, but I love all things robot. Seems I remember you opening up long packed boxes and adding new things to those boxes where spaces had opened due to settling. Maybe you would consider such a video again this year. I so look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing such quality, fun boxes.
Thanks Marlene! Oh you said it perfectly! It warms my soul and heart knowing God led me to each special item!!! Yes, I love tucking in the nooks and crannies after the boxes have settled! Unfortunately this year I couldn’t do it due to my surgery. I can’t do a lot of lifting yet and picking up each box and opening them up would require me to put my recovery in overdrive… if that makes sense. I’m doing well but still very sore and stiff! Next year I’ll definitely do one!!! Thanks so much for always engaging and being here. I really appreciate you!
I love how the Lord provides for us just what we need and encourages us to keep going! Both of those stuffed animals are so adorable 😍 thank you Denise for always being a light in your packing! You're a treasure.
Thank you Kelly and so true! God always encourages me and quite honestly surprises me with His goodness. Leading me to find just the right items to bless each child. TFW friend! 💙
You are right, all my boxes have stories. I have so much fun remembering the things my son loved and I try to put those types of iintems in my boy boxes. I love the Big Bird box and thinking of the many hours we watched Sesame Street. These are both great boxes!
Great stories Denise. Your determination is so encouraging and God blessed you for these little guys. Both stuffies were amazing. I love big stuffies. That robot was adorable. I haven’t seen one like it. How you posed him 🤣 made me laugh. You can draw! Both boxes were fun. Both little guys will be excited as they pull out the items from the box playing with everything. ❤
Thanks Mel! You noticed my robot posin’😂. I changed him up mid vid! I love big stuffies too! They are just a great WOW! Oh and thanks for the kind words on my drawings… they don’t always turn out but I’m enjoying doing it this year! They do add a nice touch! Thanks for watching!❤️🤖❤️
I love Sesame Street. He will love it. My favorite is big bird. That is another beautiful box. I can't believe you get such big stuffies in those boxes great job Denise 😊
These were fun to watch. I'm wondering, though. if vacuum-packing the stuffies might help save a bit of space. You wouldn't need to totally compress them - just enough to fit them in a bit better without deforming them.
Thanks for watching! Great idea… however I’m not a fan of the vacuum packed wow. Just a personal opinion. I have processed many a box and a few vacuum packed wows. They just don’t have the same wow factor when you open the box for me! I was able to repack Big Bird and the robot nicely! No stuffing in there. They are both looking straight up to greet their new friend! ❤️
They did! ALL boxes are accepted however I threw the email back to them because they did not answer the part about distribution shortages. I have not heard back on that one yet. I’ll let you know. They did mention box size equality and maximizing shipping costs with standard sizes though.
For sure I'm working on not going big, but I did have a few for this year, and I hate to think I would cause a problem at distributions. That would defeat the purpose. If that turns out to be the case, then I will have to pass even on a perfect bigger stuffy. We shall see. Thanks for looking into this. :)
Big Bird is sooo cute! I remember when you told me you found him ❤ you were so excited! What a wonderful box. You were led to pack this one for sure. Ahhh, the Robot! It is definitely my favorite plushie you have packed in a box! 🤖 It is so darling and so unique. I love the one you sent to me ❤❤❤ your Robot box as a whole is one of my favorite boxes of yours this year. The bendy robots and robot make a face stickers are so fun. Robot crayons and erasers!! Too cute 🥰.
Yes! I remember I told you and how excited I was that I found it! It was meant to be!!! I love that robot so much! I remember thinking I cannot buy it at full price but wasn’t sure it would be around… I was blessed to finally find 2 of them on clearance! Another great find… meant to be! Thanks Val! ❤️

Welcome! So glad you found me and some others! Hope you enjoy the shoebox content for encouragement! ❤️
Love these, especially the bright Big Bird box!
Thank you! They were so fun!❤️❤️
Thanks alot for sharing. I enjoy your videos. I look forward to watching you do them.😊

I love them both too!❤️❤️
