WHAT DO YOU PUT IN A SHOEBOX?
HOW TO PACK A SHOEBOX

FILL WITH GIFTS - Be sure to include a ‘wow’ toy such as a doll, football with pump or cuddly toy. Then add other fun toys, hygiene items and school supplies
INCLUDE £3 SHIPPING DONATION PER BOX - Help cover shipping and other costs by donating £3 for each gift you prepare.
Place a rubber band around each closed shoebox
