    If you can find it in your heart, I would recommend giving a whole pack of 24 colored pencils.
    It is a lovely size that gives everyone great joy by having ample opportunity to really color drawings.
    Having such a whole collection really gives inspiration to draw and color.

    as a former recipient of goodies from balikbayan boxes, i know for sure they will be happy! when i was in elementary school, it was a luxury to own staedtler brand pencils, and now, to be able to pack those in my shoeboxes, just makes me so appreciative and grateful of how far the Lord has taken me. thanks for sharing Sharon! God bless you and your mom! 💖💖💖

      Thanks for sharing your experience in the Philippines, Niki! I know for many families in the Philippines, balikbayan boxes are considered a lifeline. I'm grateful my mom had the idea to add school supplies to the balikbayan box. Now, we will do this every year!

    The world needs more shopping tip videos! TFS. I just started in 2021 and want to do better for '22. I worked for a week. Saved $200 and spent it all on 2 boxes. I'm going to be looking for the deals this year! Especially since I plan to do many, many more!

      Sorry, just saw this! Yes, I agree, more shopping tip videos. They are very helpful for me. So generous of you to save and spend money on boxes. But I agree, my first 2 boxes were really expensive because I bought everything in full price. Now, I know. There are great deals out there. Happy packing!!

    Hello, although I don't speak English, I wanted to say that a thousand thanks to the people who send these boxes here in my country, they fill them in and just by seeing the children's faces as they live them so happy that they are thankful for sending the boxes

    I have volunteered at the process center in Charlotte, processing boxes as well as working at the filler station. These are a blessing! I do OCC boxes and pack pencil packs for “The Pencil Granny & Friends “ I think more people are realizing that these are greatly needed and more people are now packing them too which is so awesome!😃

    Love this so much Sharon! I know I've mentioned before, but I had never heard of OCC fillers until you and Christy M shared about them. 💖
    You have such a kind and sharing heart! I love that you and your mom are able to send items I know will be so helpful! 💖💖 I love seeing the colorful pencil packs 😍
    They're almost like small presents 🎁 Thank you for being so inspiring and for sharing!!

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas. How very much is the need for many, and how very much we take for granted. Your mother’s stories brought memories of my mother - the oldest of eight children - and how grandma would buy paper by the page from the neighborhood bodega, and cut the pencils in half for she and her siblings. Thank you for sharing your ideas and emotions.
    PS: Love the eraser cap on the blunt scissors. I was taping mine. Will go back and redo.

      My last name is Ramos too! Thanks Sonia! Oh wow, your mom and my relatives shared the same struggles for school supplies, and many are struggling now. I didn't realize people cut pencils in half. Now, I'm really glad I pack pencil packs. I'm glad to hear you will be packing scissors with pencil caps!

    Awesome pencil packs. You did great shopping clearance sales. I'm curious how much you paid gor each bag of Easter/ holiday 60 pack erasers. 2021 is my first year, I only sent off 14 boxes,but looking forward to many more and fillers, since I've watched videos like yours, Robynn's and many others. I'm learning so you from you seasoned packers. Merry Christmas

      Sorry, just saw this! Thanks so much, Tracy! Last year, I bought them at 10 cents each at 90% off! The erasers. I didn't find any this year. All sold out. But I have a large stash of erasers so I'm good for this year. Thanks so much for packing fillers!
