    I’ve always wondered what was in those 12 days of Fishmas boxes. I saw them in the stores earlier on and, yes, they were ringing regular price, but I guess they were all gone by the time everything went to 90%, bc I didn’t see them again, but now I’ll know for future. Thanks for showing. Ooh, I think I saw some of those bubble fidget balls in the toy department, but didn’t scan them. Well, now, I guess I’m going to have to go back and see if I can find them again. Thanks Robynn. Love the coloring book you found in the magazine section. That’s something else I’d like to look for. Great haul, Robynn 👍👍 Prayers and my heartfelt condolences to you and your family for the passing of your beloved, sweet grandma 🙏

      Everyone found such great things this year. 🎉 My goal was to show the things I got that I hadn’t seen others show. I hope those things are still there for you!!! 😁

    Great finds, Robynn! So sorry for the loss of your Grandmother. Sounds like she was a truly wonderful lady. I know you will miss her dearly. Praying for peace and strength for you and your family. I have also been “snacking” up some of the things you showed from Walmart 😊 I wish I had thought to scan the cozy socks when I was there today. I don’t think I will go back, though. I have shopping fatigue lol. I say that now, but if I hear that Walgreens has gone 90% off - I’ll be there 😉

      Shopping fatigue. 🤣😂 Cute.
      I have budget fatigue. I wish I could just keep buying all the things!

    I am so sorry for the loss of your grandma. Thank you for sharing about her life. She sounds like a amazing person and I’m sure a wonderful grandmother. ❤
    I also have found walmart 90% off items and am excited to start packing boxes.

    Robynn, we are fishing folks, all that fishing gear is for use with a rod and reel. Hand over hand style fishing isn't fast enough for that equipment to work as designed.. just my opinion. The hallmark rubber ornaments would be awesome with a beads for necklaces. I got the word ornaments to make bead kits. I'm sending beading thread and also a key ring /backpack loop

    • @mattmanandrobynn

      Great point! I’ll be sure to send in all the fishing items with the rod and reel. Also a keychain is an awesome idea with the word ornaments. 👍👍👍

    So sorry for your loss Robyn, my husband lost his grandmother also on the 28th December. So totally know what you are going through it's so tough. Xx

      We were so close she was like a mom to me and my brother. We still do have our mom but lived with or very close to our Grandma all our lives.

    Hi! Thanks for explaining about the fishing lures etc. Thank you for sharing!

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well. I didn’t get it all 100% accurate but most of those are for casting with a rod and reel. 🤪 so with out a fancy rod they might not be very useful. 👌

    My condolences for your loss. Thank you for your tip and advice ~ animal toys and Christmas ornaments! I greatly appreciate it!

    Another great video. Thanks for sharing from your heart. I belong to The Salvation Army church (yes, we are a church) and when someone passes, we say "they were Promoted to Glory." There is a song that says "Just think of stepping on shore and finding it Heaven. Of touching a hand and finding its God. Of breathing new air and finding it celestial. Of waking up in glory and finding it home." Hope this brings you peace.

      That is so sweet. Losing a loved one is hard especially around the holidays. Someone said to me he only calls the most precious people home around Christmas time.

    Love this haul! so much fun!!! I would send the example photos with the snowflake bracelet kit to give them an idea of what they can make. :)

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great idea!! 😉 I already did just that. Put all the beads and a cut out of the two bracelets in a durable reusable bag. 🙌

    Wow on your grandmas life. I’m slowly adding things to my occ pile of stuff. I got some 13-14 boys pants on clearance etc.

    • @mattmanandrobynn

      She was a great lady!!! Collecting items all year is so much fun especially finding the clearance sales.

    Yayyy! So excited you got everything ❤️ can't wait to get ideas for my own pencil packs this year. Also you got so much stuff at Walmart that I wouldn't even have thought off. Time to go back! 😅 Prayers! 🙏

      Ina thank you sooo much for the early Birthday gifts. Opening that box to a sea of school supplies was so Harry warming. I can’t wait to put them all in pencil packs!!!! 😍🥰

    How do you feel the Amazon pencils compare to the ticonderoga pencil?

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly in my opinion they are just as good for a much better price. The Amazon ones are better than pen and gear or dollar tree. 😜

    Hi! I was wondering if you think a college themed shoebox would be well received by a 10-14 year old boy? Thank you so much,I love watching your videos!

    • @mattmanandrobynn
      @mattmanandrobynn  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think everyone should pack with their heart ❤️ and think about a specific child ask you select items. I believe the right box will get to the right child. ☺️ For me as long as we follow OCC’s rules and put the kiddo first anything our hearts tell us to pack is perfect!!!
      I went to Texas Tech and it would be so easy for me to fill a box with all the things I love about my alma mater. It would be fun but also hard for me to edit out things I love for things I think that kiddo would love. Lots of fun Texad Tech items could go in like drawstring bags, water bottles, themed school supplies, T-shirts. And all the other WOW items could be school colors, for me thats red and a black. So I could put in a red and a black hot wheels, maybe a Batman figure because he’s black, or maybe a red soccer ball.
      The opportunities are endless when we put that kiddo at the center of the box and listen to our hearts!!!

      Thank you so much I really appreciate it! I love getting to personalize my shoeboxes! This is going to be my first year having a theme for each box!
