I try to send pads in all my 10-14 yr old girl boxes. I order from Amazon and watch for sales. This is a great ready for school box. Thanks for sharing ☺️
I always send at least 6 pads for this age with a wet bag. I get them on Temu and send a variety of sizes to each girl. I include a small clothes line and small clothespins
Yes I send a menstrual kit in my 10-14 yr old girls boxes. I started that this year. I never thought about it before but I heard on a video that the girls can’t go to school when they are having their periods if they don’t have them. Your box is full of awesome things! I loved it and I’m sure the girl that receives it will love it as well!
Thank you so much! ❤❤ I hope she loves it, too! 😊 Yes, I’m really feeling led to start being more intentional in including the menstrual pads now that I have learned about the need!
I loved this box! This girl has all the bases covered for school!! Can't believe how much stuff you fit in. This is going to be such a blessing to her! Really enjoyed watching this video.
@@barbconrad9548 That's so awesome! 🩷🎊 Where do you get yours, is there a particular store you prefer? I'm going to start adding the reusable pads in more regularly myself!
I love this idea Kelly! Packing confidence for a 10-14 year old girl! Yes! I do not always include menstrual kits for this age but do on occasion. I feel it is definitely important and needed but also want to make the boxes more fun going forward! I love everything you packed and love the backpack with the iron on patch! It really makes it shine! And the crocs are awesome!!! Thanks for sharing and congratulations to Tammy for winning the baby doll!!!! She’s beautiful with her crocheted hat and dress! ❤
Thank you, Denise! I hope she loves her box with her new shoes and all the items! ❤😊 I agree with the FUN being a main focus going forward. You make all of your boxes so special!
Lovely box, Kelly. Yes, I used to send menstrual pads in my 10-14 girl boxes, but have not included them in a while. Just my personal choice due to cost, space and trying to pack more fun. That’s not to say I would never pack them. I still think it’s an important item to include. My favorites in this box are the crocs and backpack. I love that you decorated it with a cute iron on patch. TFS this one ❤
Thank you, Trish! It’s really good to hear your perspective as an experienced packer! I have been hesitant to send them in the past, as I agree that FUN should be the main focus for our boxes. ❤ I will probably start adding them more often, but just as a nice addition if I can fit them. Dollar Tree has had some cute iron on decals, I loved that sparkly gold star when I saw it. It was a two-pack, so I have another sparkly smiley face still. 😊
Great take on this Back to School challenge. I love how intentional you were to encourage and enlighten your viewers. This young lady will LOVE this box. TFS and participating!!
Thank you, Tiffany! ❤😊 I had fun participating in the challenge and the Lord led me in this particular direction as I began packing the box! 🎁 Thank you also for all the free resources!
This box is wonderful - wow! Shoes and pads and all the school supplies (especially love the backpack) will be a tremendous blessing. I have watched some documentaries and testimonies about the issues girls face around the world in getting an education - it breaks my heart. I include pads in all my 10-14 girl boxes as well - thank you for highlighting this in your video! You included so many other fun items like the clay - and packaged it so well. You packed a softie owl and a fidget which are fun and also comforting. I love all your ideas! 💗
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot to me and I hope this young lady loves her box! 😊 I’m planning to start adding pads more regularly now that I realize the need with school. 💝
Congrats to Tammy, you won a beautiful baby doll! This is a great "back to school" box. I personally have packed only a few boxes with hygiene pads, but mainly because I just don't have the room. My boxes tend to be stuffed, and trying to decide what to remove is a challenge for me. I do think they are a great idea and a real blessing. TFS! ❤😊
Just started have 6 boxes two of each and I really love it didn't know where to get my labels then found the at hobby lobby it was so much fun doing these boxes
@@stillintheheartrebornnurse4072 aww that's so wonderful to hear! 💝 Operation Christmas Child is such a joy to participate in! Let me know if you have any questions as you go! Hobby Lobby is such a great support of OCC, it makes me smile to see the shoeboxes and signs instore. For future packing, you can also order labels for free on the website in packs of 50 or print them off without the tracking ability. If you activate them online with a $10 donation each, you can track what country they go to. 🤗
Beautiful box!! I do send pads with all my older girl boxes . It’s absolutely possible to fit them in while still including plenty of fun items but I can understand why others don’t as they are expensive
Thank you, Alicia! ☺️ It's so helpful to hear what other packers include! That's really wonderful that you include pads for the older girls and I'm hoping to be able to send them more often as well! 💝
Congratulations Tammy Jones! You are blessed! Now to the box, I’ve not sent menstrual pads yet, but seeing so many packers including them and explaining the importance of them I’m definitely going to be looking into them for next year! This is such a sweet back to school box and I’m sure the girl that gets it will be delighted! Thank you for sharing your ideas for a back to school box for older girls! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Karen! ❤☺️ I hope she loves her box! I agree, I’m going to start sending the menstrual pads more often in the older girl boxes now that I realize the need with school!
I send menstrual pads in some but not all 10-14 girl boxes. I like to split up a set of 6 from Amazon between 3 boxes so it’s not a huge part of the box but they’re still there.
Great box! Love the shoes and the backpack! I send 3 or 4 reusable menstrual pads in my 10-14 girl boxes. This is the first year to send them. I also get them from Amazon. Keep up the good work!
I used to send menstrual pads however my boxes always go to the Dominican and the missionaries in the Dominican that I spoke with said that the girls throw them away because they don't dry in time to use again. However I am thinking that perhaps someone made pads and sent them that were a little fuller than they needed to be and that's what happened because the ones from Amazon are rather thin. if I ever did it again I would would make sure that they were the thin style. However I know there's numerous countries that they go to that this would not be an issue with, and therefore I do believe they are a wonderful helpful item
Thank you Debra! That’s very interesting and always useful to hear how the gifts are perceived! I know here in Florida all of our boxes ship to African nations, at least over the past several years. Thank you for sharing that info! ❤
Hi Kelly! Yes, I am sending the reusable pads this year once I learned that girls miss school every month otherwise. I've sown them all this year. I'm so glad to hear all the feedback you have received about them. Mine are made with a thin super absorbent layer, so I'm praying they don't get thrown away!
Wow, Becky! That’s so wonderful that you’re able to make them for the older girls. God bless you in your efforts and I’m sure they will be such a blessing! 😊💝
@@KellysKidz Thank you so much Kelly. It's taken months but I'm down to finishing the last five pads. Then my daughter and I will learn to do the snaps! I am glad to know they are also available to buy.
My sister has made 100 menstrual pads and another lady in our church has made 100 also and we are packing them this year. I have bought 15 from Amazon and will be sending them.
I am really impressed with this box you have packed. I think you put a lot of thought into making sure she had supplies and yet giving her plenty of personal items that were fun.
Suoer box! Great backpack and shoes and all❤ I haven't sent pads yet, but have been looking into it. After hearing more info about them, I'm planning to send them next year. TFS❤
I send resuable pads with all my 10 to 14 girl boxes! I just don't want any girl to be without menstrual products as periods are hard enough as it is. This box is great!
When we decided to do a 10-14 box, menstrual products was the first thing that came to mind because I often hear about how girls in some countries don’t have any sanitary protection available which is really sad.
I buy menstrual pads as the budget allows. I wish I knew how to sew and then could supply my boxes with pads. Maybe that is the ministry that could be taken up by the people that Sew those beautiful dresses?
Awesome box! I planned on sending pads this year too - just curious - how big was your box? I’ve an item that won’t fit an regular size shoebox and have a larger Nike box but wasn’t sure if that would be a huge issue
Thank you so much! 🥰🩷 Yes, you can definitely use a larger box if you need to, my friend D Rogers just released a very helpful video about this if you'd like to check it out! th-cam.com/video/8CcHv5Fbcqw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=laLQVQEGh77eSjdb
Hi Kelly, I’m excited to have been watching and have my name drawn for the baby doll. I have never won anything before. I am doing 50 boxes this year and still have 5 more to do. I will Be using the doll for one of them. Thank You so much. I will send you my address if you let me know your email. Thanks again❤ Love the school theme box, I will have to try one
