I love to watch you shop then later see how your boxes come together. It’s a time thing not like you do a box in one trip. Over time it all comes together.
Thank you, Vickie. You hit the nail on the head. It is definitely a time thing. Typically I have so many boxes in the works that it doesn’t bother me to wait as long as it takes to pull together a themed box that I am happy with. TFW 🥰
Thank you for once again sharing your finds and also for sharing your wonderful shoeboxes with us. You and several others on YT have really inspired me and helped me to step up my shoebox packing game and for that I am forever grateful to y'all. ☺
A while back I was lucky enough to find some of those car pens that you showed near the beginning of the video. I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that they are not only super cute pens, but the doors really open on them AND they are pull-back cars that actually work!!!! 🥰I can't wait to pack them in some of my boy boxes with some cars and a couple of pieces of the Hot Wheels track that I found on clearance at Family Dollar for a quarter (for 2 pieces of track and a connecter). The track pieces are very bendable and work really great with the Hot Wheels launchers that I found at DT and they all fit great in the OCC GO boxes. I can even see the kiddos "driving" that pen along the tracks, pulling it back, and then watching it go..... yes, I tried it and it's definitely fun. 😂 It's so hard to find new things for the boys that when I found out those pens are actually pull-back cars too I have been on the look out for them every since. 🥰
Thank you! Oh, wow, I didn’t even realize that the pens were also pull back cars. How fun! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🥰
Those are great finds! I really like the new pretty journals and notebooks. And the shape puzzles are very neat. Love your shopping videos❤ TFS!
Thanks, Annette. Glad you enjoyed. Hope you find some of your favorites 🥰
Thanks for sharing. The timing is perfect for my weekend OCC shopping. Love the new notebook options. I too splurge occasionally on the DT cute ones for the themed boxes. Oklahoma’s DT warehouse was hit by a tornado a few weeks ago so our stores have been slow to restock anything and especially these new fun items.
You’re welcome. I hope you have a fruitful shopping trip this weekend🤞
I rarely buy notebooks/composition books at Dollar Tree but I saw several I really like. So...off to Dollar Tree tomorrow. What I really like are the socks at your stores. I almost never see the socks you're able to get.
It’s funny, Maureen, there is one store out of about 6 that I shop, that carries the great socks that I always show. And it’s not even a big store. The other stores rarely, if ever, get them in. I can’t figure out Dollar Tree to save my life 🤔.
I’ve been lucky to find everything but the make a face dinosaur and unicorn sticker books and socks of course. Love those! I love all the new journals! You are right… Dollar Tree does a great job with their journals and I am even using some of those smaller journals instead of a large composition book! I just couldn’t help myself with the Mylar journals! They are awesome! sometimes they are just the perfect fit. Love the robot composition book and the car pens! Oh it’s so fun when DT gets in new stuff! Thanks for sharing your visit and haul! Fun trip!
Thanks Denise. DT always has great journals, but I’ve been extra impressed with them as of late. I have lucky socks store. I don’t know why, but for some reason, that’s the store that gets all the great socks and it’s not one of the bigger stores. Go figure. Thanks for coming along, friend. 🥰
I found the new make a face sticker books this week too. They are so cute! Also found the journals. My favorite one is the one with all the hearts. 😍 I haven't seen the car pens or Prang watercolors yet. What a great size paint set for boxes or filler. I did find some 36 count colored pencils again this week. I'm putting some of those with advanced coloring books and sharpeners for filler. If I couldn't pack boxes I believe I would still have fun packing filler. 😃
I agree about the filler. I think I will be searching out bargains for OCC for the rest of my life and if I ever get to the point where I can’t or get tired of packing shoeboxes, I will continue to send filler.
Great haul. I really love watching what you get from the dollar tree.
Oh love those prang paints! Haven’t seen the rescue guys yet but they look like nice quality. Smurf socks!! Those are my favorite! TFS!
You should see the Prang watercolors, soon. Most of my stores have them in the crafts section, but a couple had them with office/school supplies, so be sure to check both. I know you found the rescue heroes since you commented 👏
You got some really great finds there, Trish. Everything is so colorful! I was just in Dollar tree yesterday and picked up some of the new journals. I really like the puzzle bug puzzles. I hope our stores get the Prang watercolors paints.
I was so impressed with the journals selection this go round, I just couldn’t hold back LOL You should see the Prang watercolors soon🤞
@@byrdfeed9071 I ran out and bought some of those pen cars after seeing this video! LOL! and a few of the pretty journals.
@mamachicken1548 those pen cars are pretty cool. Not only do the wheels turn, but I think the doors open, too.
Thank😊you!
Awesome walk through of Dollar Tree, Trish! Very nice journals. I've always liked those pen cars. Cool bird Lego kits. Oooh, I haven't seen those casette composition books. I need to pick those up for my 80s themed shoeboxes. I LOVE the bracelet composition book. 2 large claw clips for $1.25. Not bad. Great haul in the end. Love the mini watercolor set. Aww, those animal books are adorable! Same, I don't like paying for composition books when they are cheaper elsewhere but I will splurge for nice graphic ones. Thanks for sharing, Trish!
Thanks, Sharon. Glad you enjoyed 🥰
Awesome haul!!! Happy Packing ❤
Thanks, Susan 🥰
nice
Nice to see the new items! Those journals are calling my name 😊
Mine, too. These new journals were especially nice this time. I just could not leave them behind.
Saw some new items to look for. So many lovely journals. TFS
Thanks, Marlene. I hope you find some of the things that you liked most 🥰
Halfway there to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in December!!
Haha, yes! Exactly! This year is going so fast!
You are a great shopper Trish but you are also a great shoe box packer. I still think you should be spokesman for OCC. You picked some nice things ❤❤
Thanks Rochelle. Glad you enjoyed 🥰
I need to go shopping with you! Your dollar tree is stocked up! I'll need to keep an eye out for those watercolors at mine. Also love all the journal and notebook options you were able to find!
Haha, well come on over 😀. You should see the Prang watercolors soon. Some of my stores had them in the Crafters Square section and some of them had them in office/school supplies.
Nice haul! The notebooks are especially nice! I'd just be cautious about sending the "I believe in magic" one... Many of the places the shoeboxes go can really be bound in magic/witchcraft... Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thanks.
Hi Trish! I love the 100 piece puzzles! Are they the thicker pieces, or thinner?
They are definitely thinner than a quality puzzle that you might pay $6-$10 for, but not so thin that they don’t stay together. Back when Dollar Tree was $1, the 100 piece Puzzlebug puzzles used to be thicker when they were packaged in that more sturdy cardboard box that was not collapsible. That, of course, is when I liked those puzzles best. I still buy them, but it’s a shame that the price went up to $1.25 and the quality went down at the same time 🙁. Next time you are in a DT, open one of the boxes and check it out to see if the pcs are thick enough for your liking.
It's only June. Not December
?
Some of us shop all year for items to fill the boxes.
Hi Linda. When you first made your comment I wasn’t exactly sure what it meant, but now that Nancy commented, I realized you may not be an Operation Christmas Child shoebox packer and therefore do not realize that some of us pack many boxes, like 50-100+, therefore we shop year-round and purchase things when we see them or a little bit at a time, as budgets permit. Collection week for OCC shoeboxes is at the beginning of November so it takes time to shop, collect, pack and get them ready for collection week. 😊
@@byrdfeed9071 no i am not , what is this for, sending overseas to children??
The items u bought were very nice. However!!
