It occurs to me that most of this box could be shared if the little girl has a friend or sibling that didn't get a box. There are two stuffies, two little dolls, two pairs of socks, two shirts, two necklaces, two little books of blank paper, two sheets of narwhal stickers, a box of crayons and a box of colored pencils, four pairs of earrings, etc. I think if you doubled up a couple of other things, like including an extra toothbrush, this box would be all set to potentially bless 2 little girls instead of one. Certainly you don't have to, especially if you don't have room, but it was a thought that occurred to me, so I thought I'd share it. Regardless of who gets it, though, it's a great box; I would have loved to get it when I was this age, I've always loved mermaids so much.
And what a beautiful last shoebox for 2022! The wrapping and inside lid decor are gorgeous. My favorite is the TY plush mermaid! Just a wow, and great price too. The girl will be thrilled with just that stunning mermaid! The seahorse is a great partner to the mermaid plush. I love you included 2 more of the mini mermaids. That's a perfect card. This girl will love the sequin "pencil pouch" with accessories. I agree, they are way too short to be a pencil pouch. I love that you included 2 shirts and the reasons behind it. You seriously give the best erasers! The color of the water bottle is so pretty and the added stickers. The purple heart medallion and mermaid pen are wow items. Love the shell Easter egg with the sea themed earrings. I'm in love with the notebook. Oh wow, I want that hairbrush for myself! lol Very nice quality brush. The Scratch and Draw book is another wow! This is just wow shoebox! One of my favorite of yours! Lots of variety and perfect for a 10-14 girl. Thanks for sharing, Denise! You had another fantastic season of shoebox unboxings. Lots of great ideas. 🧜♀🧜♀🧜♀
Thanks Sharon for being so supportive. This mermaid box was definitely one of my favorites! It came together so easily and I had so much much picking out each item. I’m not sure why those mermaid pencil pouches are made so small but they are too cute not to use them for something! I love the scratch and draw book. Great Marshall’s find! Haven’t been so lucky at that store lately though. Well another season comes to a close. Your kind comments always lift me up sweet friend! Can’t wait to see you at the PC!
What a great mermaid 🧜♀️ shoebox! She will love it! Good idea with the T-shirts. Once again, thanks for sharing and inspiring others to pack their shoeboxes!
Another favorite. The handmade backpack is great. Always love seeing two wow’s. The mermaid and seahorse are wonderful! The puffy stickers are really pretty. Adding the two shirts was a good idea. And can’t forget the pretty notebook.
Thanks Maritza! I always remember calling out your name when I did the pencil pack give away! I thought your name was so pretty. And here we are...you are a wonderful part of this community. Always kind and uplifting and I want you to know it is always appreciated. May God bless you and your family and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
Awesome mermaid box, Denise! I absolutely love the TY mermaid and seahorse. They are both so delicate and pretty, particularly for a 10-14-year-old girl. I recently found at Savers a very similar TY mermaid who’s name is Cora. Other than her pink hair, Cora and Lorelei could be twins 😂, but Cora is going into a 2023 box. No, you are not over thinking the T-shirt sizing. I think it was a great idea to include both. Love all the adorable under the sea themed earrings you included for this young lady and the lovely drawstring backpack you made for her. Perfect! All the little mermaid extras and details (bandanna, pen, pencils, notebook, etc.) make this box so fun and special. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all your boxes this year, my friend. Thanks for sharing one last beautiful creation 🌊 🧜♀️ ⚓️ 💖
Savers sounds like an amazing place! Wish I had one! I’m looking forward to Cora’s box in 2023! I don’t think I’ve ever included 2 shirts before in a box but when I got those shirts from Walmart, they looked a little small. I really didn’t want to change it to a 5-9 so 2 shirts it was! Lol. Thanks for supporting me all year long. I really appreciate it. Your comments lift me up when YouTubing makes me question things sometimes. Hope that makes sense. Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving! 💕
@@drogers oh yes, I totally understand. I often question why I bother with YT. Then someone comments that they just started packing boxes because they watched my channel. That makes it all worthwhile. That’s why we do it 👍👍
Awww such a bitter sweet moment!! You and your boxes, but especially your friendship have inspired me to in many ways! Those things were great blessings to me and I thank you for that. Ok the box, first, the glittery doll and pencil case are two things surely to make this young lady smile. I love you included 2 shirts. Very unique plush seahorse! That’s a first for me. Of course all of the matching fun erasers are a favorite! I dub you the eraser queen bc you find the best kinds! So many great items in here but as always, my number one is the handmade backpack. Those DIY items are more special than store bought IMO. Thanks for a great shoebox season and I look forward to all the ideas for next year! Stay blessed my sweet❤
Awwww...you are so kind. I remember when your screen name was just Jeannie...and I use to look forward to your comments! Then you came on the RUclips bandwagon! Yayyyy!!! Always inspiring and packing from your heart. You give so much in all of your boxes of YOU. It is evident. I enjoy each one but yes, I especially enjoy our friendship. 🥰May God continue to inspire us to encourage others to pack from their heart also. As for the box...I think I have an eraser fetish....LOL. They just make me smile! I had actually forgotten about the handmade backpack because I packed this early in the season. Now I just have to remember how I made it so I can do more! 🤪🤣. Thanks so much for always supporting and just being here. ❤ Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas!
@@drogers awww that is the sweetest comment!! I hope joining RUclips inspired someone else to start packing! And yes, an eraser fetish is a good description BUT it’s a great fetish to have. You find the most unique erasers (the nesting doll took the cake this year) and girls LOVE fun erasers. You did too as a girl and that’s why it’s part of the love you pack! Happy thanksgiving and merry Christmas to you and your family. The new year will be a blessed one and it starts with RETIREMENT 🙌🙌🙌. Love and hugs always!
Thank you and God Bless you Bernie for your kind and thoughtful comments all year. Have a very Happy Holiday and I will see you in 2023! Or maybe even before! 😀
Thanks Judy! Whew! I think we all need a break now! But I am off to the PC soon! Thanks for being so supportive and taking the time to comment. I so appreciate it! Merry Christmas!
Thank you Maureen! You are always so sweet! I love that notebook too! I love finding special ones when I can. God bless you and have a very Merry Christmas!
amazing box Denise, mermaids are my fave! what a great box to end 2022 with, it has been an absolute joy watching you share your OCC boxes and finds with us, thank you! happy holidays to you and your family!!! and cheers to an awesome 2023 ahead!!! 💖💖💖
Thank you Niki! You have always been an inspiration to me so thank YOU! May we all continue to be blessed and follow His lead in 2023! More boxes for more children! God bless you Niki and have a very Merry Christmas! 🥰🥰🥰
Loved this one a lot! I love the Ty beanie babies! ❤ also would have loved those earrings as a kid, the odd Easter eggs is a great idea!! Thanks for sharing!! Happy thanksgiving!
Thanks Julie! Yes, be on the lookout for the fun easter egg cars, animals, sea shells, crosses etc. They are always fun to fill with surprises and add to our boxes. Thank you for watching and have a very Merry Christmas!
I've loved all of your unboxings through the year, but I think you saved the best 'til last! Such a delicate pretty box, love the Ty beanies and all the journals. The drawstring backpack is gorgeous too. Thanks for inspiring me all year. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Awww… thank you for watching all year long! It’s been a joy for me to share this year and I look forward to doing it again in 2023! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
What a great TY mermaid beanie to find at the thrift store. It helped to produce a pretty and high quality box even at season end! We are always on the look out for creative treasures, to bless another child with happiness and hope. Praying with you that the young lady enjoys every item and receives the Lord's great blessings!😊🤗👍🧜♀️
Thank you Cecilia. I am always looking for those wonderful finds to bless a child. Now it is time to take a rest and thank the Lord for all He has shown me. I look forward to following His lead in 2023 and trying to encourage others as well. God Bless you Cecilia for all you do! Your videos were some of the first ones I watched! Have a very Merry Christmas and see you in 2023! Maybe sooner! 😉
That's a beautiful, shimmery mermaid pen! The Mead composition book is gorgeous! The puffy stickers are really nice and those two Ty beanies are great. Thank you for your contributions to OCC! God bless!
Thanks Aisha! Thank you so much for watching this year and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate you! Have a very Happy Holiday and I will be back in 2023.....or maybe even before! :)
Denise this is a beautiful finish to a great year of packing. You've done a wonderful job on every box you've packed. Yes you have helped me in lots of way as I sure others will say that too. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New year too. And thanks for all the awesome videos for 2022.
Awww...thanks Tracy! You have so supportive of this community and lifting everyone up. That's so important and needed. Thank YOU! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you to! May the Lord bless you abundantly in spirit this holiday season!
🤣😂🙃Merunicats....that's a good one. They are so cute though right? Or how about Unimercats? IDK....silly LOL. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas Denise! I retire at the end of December! Woo hoo! So I will have more time! Yayyyy!!!
No worries! They can always grow into it! I always pack at the higher end on sizes too. I think of teenagers too but then a 10 year old can be soooo young. I think it is such a broad age range and sometimes a challenge to pack for. Pack as your heart leads you!
Hi Kadie! I like to get the 2/$1 cards at DT. I’ve also used free cards that are mailed to me and cards from Trader Joe’s. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! 🥰
Wow! That's a good question! There are so many I love and you probably know I don't share all of mine on RUclips. I think I would have to say of the one's I shared on RUclips my favorites are "Squeeze the Day" (lemon themed) and the recent box I did all in blue at the request of a boy in Malawi. Those in particular gave me great joy.
@@drogers You are great. I didn't do anymore videos but I took photos of the two SUV full I dropped off. I hope in a Covid weary world some kids will love them.
Lovely box. I love mermaids and the girl that gets this will too!!❤❤❤

I love that you include your own handmade stuff in most of your box, it made it even more special. I love the drawstring back pack ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I love including something homemade in each box if I can. Even if it’s just a little something. 💕
It always amazes me just how much you can stuff in a shoebox!!! This will bless a girl greatly!
Thank you! I pray it will. I hope if you get boxes this year, you are blessed with fantastic ones to bring joy.

The mermaid pencil pouch is to short for a number 2 pencil. I got the same ones. I use them for marble bags for my girl boxes.
Oh my, that's a wonderful bag for marbles, thanks for the idea.
Good Idea Jill! So many things they can be used for!
Golf pencils are short. They would fit into the mermaid tale. Ask a member of the golf club and he might be able to donate a bunch for OCC.
Good idea Lisa!!! Thank you! 😊
My 10 to 14 boxes seem much older than the ones I see online. I think of teenagers are nearly or fully grown. I hope everything isn't too big.
No worries! They can always grow into it! I always pack at the higher end on sizes too. I think of teenagers too but then a 10 year old can be soooo young. I think it is such a broad age range and sometimes a challenge to pack for. Pack as your heart leads you!
