So after the lovely Jasiminne completed her #OperationBlogger box before me, I thought I ought to get cracking! Every year I do the same, I make a box for a Girl aged 10-14, as they always say that people tend to make a box for the younger kids and the older ones miss out. So this year I decided to be a bit different, and make one for a Boy aged 5-9. The whole box cost me just £11.52, for ALL these goodies! That £11.52, which is less than what my foundation costs me, will make a needy child's Christmas a special one and one to remember.
So what's in the box?
Educational Items:
Colouring Pencils, Gel Pens, Ruler, Pencil, Rubber and Pen - £1 - Poundland
Two Notebooks - £1 - Poundland
Pencil Case - £1 - Poundland
Hygiene Items:
Flannel - 99p - Superdrug
Comb - 99p - Superdrug
Face/Hand Wipes - 99p - Superdrug
Bath Soap - 60p - Tesco
Toothpaste - 25p - Tesco
4x Toothbrushes - 70p - Tesco
Toys/Fun Stuff:
3x Bags of Sweets - £1 - Tesco
YoYo - £1 - Poundland
3x Toy Musical Instruments - £1 - Poundland
Stuffed Toy (London 2012 Olympic Mascot) - £1 - The Entertainer
Total Cost: £11.52
If you would like to take part in #OperationBlogger and help a needy child this Christmas, please see my previous post here. Once you've completed your box, make a £3 donation per box on the website (for postage costs), then print out a label, stick it to the inside of the lid of your box, and drop it off at your nearest shoezone!
I think it's a fantastic thing to do, and even though Christmas isn't just about gifts, every child deserves a treat at this time of year and I love doing my bit and knowing that I've made a child happy. For me I'd rather spend my money on this than on a Blogger Secret Santa or something. I usually spend £20 on Operation Christmas Child, so I might do another box, I'll keep you updated!
