Default Re: Holiday Donations

Lux living, adorable idea!

We do a shoebox for each kid, well for the two that can pick, and this year we let our neighbor girl do one.

The kids get practice finding things a 5-7 year old would like, and they feel special getting several things, I feel fortunate to be able to help when I only spent $10 per box!

We also seem to have miscelaneous toys in the house that were aquired, duplicates or bought for someone who moved away (one worry of buying early) and we will be donating them to toys for tots this year (and getting them out of my house!)

I also thruout the year donate rather than sell (dh on the other hand..at least he is trying to get rid of stuff though), makes me feel happier, and is no stress. I am not fond of stress!
