#OperationBlogger | Operation Christmas Child – My Shoe Box
Charity at Christmas
Last week I posted about #OperationBlogger, part of Samaritan’s Purse UK’s #OperationChristmasChild campaign, where you pack a shoe box of presents for an underpriveledged child. I have been busy shopping for all my gifts and wanted to share them with you all, before I take my shoe box to be shipped off.
I chose to pack for a girl aged between 10-14. I think this is quite a tricky challenge, as there can be a huge difference between girls these ages, but I have two younger cousins- Katie is 10, Sophie is 14, so I tried to keep them in mind when buying my gifts.
I got most of my bits and bobs from Primark and Superdrug, where they do some really great items really cheaply (so I could fill my box with as many goodies as possible!). I also got some stationary bits from Morrisons and some festive tissues from The Spirit of Christmas fair I went to last weekend. There are four categories of gifts, and Samaritan’s Purse UK ask that you chose at least one item from each category. So here’s what I chose:
Education gifts
 |
| Pencil sharpener Heart shaped sticky notes Glitter pen set Notebook |
Hygiene gifts
 |
| Body puff Hairbands (packaged to look like a lollipop) Festive print tissues Moisture cream soap |
Toy gifts
 |
| Cuddly reindeer toy One Direction games pack – includes sweets, games, a keyring, badges and cards |
Other gifts
 |
| 2 pairs of gloves A pack of 4 bracelets A canvas bag with fox print on Festive sweets – marshmallow snowmen and mix jelly shapes |
I also popped in a Christmas card, and my Β£3 donation slip, which means I’ll be able to find out where in the world my shoebox gets sent to (I’ll make sure I update you all too!)
It was really fun to go shopping for gifts, and it’s great to know that I will help make a difference to an underprivileged child this Christmas. I really hope the girl who receives my box likes what I picked out for her! Overall I think I spent about Β£20, plus the Β£3 donation, and am really pleased with the quality and amount of gifts I got for this price. You can spend as much or as little as you like though- every little bit helps!
Now my shoebox is all wrapped and packed, and I’ve printed off the sticker to show who it’s for, I’ll be taking it to my nearest drop off point this afternoon. The final date for dropping off your shoeboxes is this Monday 18th November, so there’s still time to make one if you’d like to get involved too! Here’s the link to my previous post about the campaign, and the official website too- http://www.operationchristmaschild.org.uk/
