Sometimes when we win or earn gift cards online for shopping for shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, we use it to "splurge" on an item that might cost more than we normally budget for that type of item. Such was the case with the cow blocks/puzzle I built this farm themed box around.
It was a great Wow item-16 about inch square blocks, brightly decorated so as to make up 9 different far scene puzzles (pig, cow, rooster, etc) by Melissa & Doug. However it was a bit big, so there was concerns as to how it would fit, especially as when I do a theme box I stick to my normal list of things to include, I try to find versions of those items that fit the theme. I may add an extra unique item or two, but on the whole it's the same list, just different types. My basic list for those interested is:
- Hygiene supplies (soap & case; toothbrush; washcloth; comb)
