What a wow shoebox for an older boy! One lucky boy will be very happy to receive this shoebox. Very nice quality soccer ball, and pump. Even though, it's a promotional water bottle, it looks of also great quality. Such a cute TY beanie baby. Love the pouch you made for the marbles - perfect print. The LEGOs hot wheel is so cool. I need to look out for those. My favorite is the soccer outfit - love the bright colors and great deal. Yellow and blue is a great color combo. Very awesome that you included the soccer face mask. That fidget spinner coloring book is super neat! Thanks for sharing, Trish! I look forward to the big cats collab! ⚽⚽⚽
Thank you, Sharon. You are so sweet. The water bottle is pretty nice quality. I actually got it at Goodwill a couple of years ago. They had a case of them, but I only grabbed two, because they were kind of big, but they were only $.50 each, if I recall correctly. I should’ve bought the whole case and donated to the PC as filler, but I think that was even before I knew about filler for the PC. Another thing I should’ve grabbed more of was the fidget spinner coloring book. Only grabbed two of those, as well, and never saw them again at DT. Sometimes it’s just hard to lay out the money for multiples, even though I regret it later on 🤪
That’s the coolest coloring book with a fidget spinner! I’ve never seen those! Awesome soccer box Trish! My favorite is his outfit! What beautiful colors! That was another one of those great clothing deals in January, right? There are so many blessings in this box that this young man will be overjoyed! The soccer ball alone is enough to make this boy so happy! And he has sooooo much more! Of course I love the cool bracelets from Shein. I’ve ordered a bunch for my boxes next year. Great box for this young man! It’s all a big WOW! See you on Wednesday!
Thanks, Denise. There’s a pretty nice DT up near the airport, which I don’t shop, because it’s 30 min away and I have umpteen other DTs to shop that are much closer. One day, I think the day I flew home from Florida in May, I arrived in STL early and stopped at that DT on the way home. That’s where I found the fidget spinner coloring pads. I bought two. I should’ve bought more (you know how that goes), because I never saw them again in any other store 🤷🏻♀️
This box has wow after wow after wow. I love the ball and the outfit and the cross on a chain. What a special gift. The stuffed water bottle is great too. I hope I stumble across the coloring pads with spinners attached. I do find that I'm enjoying going in DTs once again since different items are showing up. It is the same here, sometimes I find something good at only one store. I wish some Barbie coloring books would show up. I haven't seen any since around Christmas last year and been looking all this year. Oh well. Fabulous box, as always! ⚽️⚽️💙💛
Thank you, Denise. Well, of course the soccer ball is one of your favorites…you bought it! 😂😂😂. Seriously though, you helped make this one happen and I can’t thank you enough, because one young man is going to be over the moon with it. I think I may have seen some Barbie coloring book stragglers recently at one of my stores. I’ll keep my eyes peeled. Thank you, Denise, for all you do for these kids 😘
gifts of love, truly! the OCC community is just so wonderful, always so generous and encouraging... this was an awesome box, thanks as always Trish! 💖💖💖
Trish! Mr 10-14 is going to love his box! I love his soccer ball, outfit and cross! The coloring book with the fidget spinner is so cool! Thanks so much for sharing this amazing box!💜💜💜
Thanks, Math. Well, I did have to go to a little bit bigger box than I typically use. I couldn’t fit several of the items, along with the soccer ball, in any of the smaller boxes I had. I didn’t have the water bottle in the mix to start, plus I removed the Dominos and the Beanie Baby, but still couldn’t fit the remaining contents. When I switched to the bigger box I was able to include everything. I added the water bottle at the last minute and it fit, too 😁.
Thanks, Margaret. Yes, I have been commenting that I wish I had grabbed more of that fidget spinner coloring book, because I never saw it again at any of my stores 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you, Tammy. The coloring book with the fidget spinner has been a hit with everyone. I should’ve bought more. They are great for shoeboxes, esp boy’s.
Super great box. Perfect timing too. I've been hoping and praying I could do some soccer ball/ pump boxes this year, but the deals just weren't there until tonight. I've been watching the soccer balls at Walmart. First clearance was 22 dollars then 12 then tonight the sign said 5 dollars. But God wasn't finished. One rang up at 3 dollars, so the clerk gave me that price for all of them. So I bought a bunch. Your video is a great example for me to go by. So thanks for sharing your awesome box with us.
Wow Tracy, that’s fantastic! Three bucks! I don’t think I’ve ever found a soccer ball for $3. God was definitely shopping with you tonight. Makes me happy. Have you had any luck with ball pumps? The Mingru ball pumps from Amazon are currently $12.99 for the 3-pk, so they may be out of your price range, but they are really nice quality and small. They were $9.99 at one point in time.
I have 3 pumps and some extra needles, but now I need 21 pumps. Since the Lord provided such a great price on the balls , that leaves me alittle extra for better pumps. Thank you for the suggestions.
I know many people buy the DT pumps. I am personally unfamiliar with the quality, as they are never in stock at my stores, but I just checked their site and they are still selling them, although they are back ordered. It says 30 days. Min order 24 for $30. I wonder if you placed the order and did not receive in time, if you could cancel? But then, of course, you would not have pumps for your boxes 😏
Hi Cathy. I got it online, then printed and laminated a few. I may have it saved on my computer, because I can’t find it on my phone. I may have gotten this particular link from Denise. Let me check and see if it’s a link that I can include in the description of the video, so you can get it. I’ll get back to you.
Thanks, Chuck. Typically, I use regular, standard shoeboxes (donated to me), but when in IKEA 2 wks ago I picked up 2 of their boxes ($1.49 ea in my area). The shoebox in this video is one of them. Normally I obtain reg shoeboxes in one of the following ways: 1. Place an ad on NextDoor every year asking for empty shoeboxes. 2. Visit local shoe stores and ask them to save empty boxes for a week for me (some will, some won’t). 3. A nearby Church. They receive free athletic shoes from NewBalance (store returns) to resell as a church fundraiser. Last year they gave me all the shoeboxes. (This year they told me the shoes did not come in their orig boxes 🙁) 4. I ask all friends, family and neighbors to save their shoeboxes for me.
Upon re-packing I was able to add 12 assorted colored pencils 👏
This truly is an awesome box! So much love and many blessings, the boy will definitely feel God's love ❤️
Thank you, Cheryl. I hope so. I am excited for the boy who receives this box.

Super awesome box!!! this is a very nice ball! ⚽ I love the domino set, and that one big water bottle, and you managed to fit it with a soccer ball!

Great shoebox! So many amazing items! Love the SHEIN- stickers 💕
Thank you, Elena. I’m hooked on SHEIN, particularly the stickers. Great quality, so cute, cheap price!
This whole box is a wow. This young man will love this box. I really like the color book with fidget spinners. Thank you for sharing

The balls I found are Size 5 Umbro brand. Normally 16 to 28 dollars. Is Umbro a quality brand. I have no idea. Lol.
YES! You hit the jackpot!

Love these ideas for 10-14 boy ⚽️
Thank you, Rebecca. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🥰
Totally awesome ❤
Beautiful box
Thank you, Sandy. It’s full of blessings 🥰
Perfect
Thank you 🥰
So much fun in there.
Thank you, Charlotte 🥰
Where did you find your knot tying chart? I've been nudged for a while to send those.
Hi Cathy. I got it online, then printed and laminated a few. I may have it saved on my computer, because I can’t find it on my phone. I may have gotten this particular link from Denise. Let me check and see if it’s a link that I can include in the description of the video, so you can get it. I’ll get back to you.
Well, looks like it’s a PDF that Denise sent me. Email me and I will try to send it to you.
What a great box. Where do you get your shoe boxes?
Thanks, Chuck. Typically, I use regular, standard shoeboxes (donated to me), but when in IKEA 2 wks ago I picked up 2 of their boxes ($1.49 ea in my area). The shoebox in this video is one of them. Normally I obtain reg shoeboxes in one of the following ways:
