Visit my friend Jamie at See Jamie Blogs, or click the image above, for a 100 Shoebox Ideas for a Girl list!

Great List! Sending my friends over who are coming to my box packing party!
I love it!! I’m a list maker by nature and this is right up my alley. Thanks for the great ideas, off to “pin” this!
I thought that things like chapstick and toothpaste were not allowed anymore? …As well as any soft candy(like Starburst). I think only hard candy is allowed. You might want to check that.
Hi Becky, I double checked my list with Samaritan’s Purse and all the items are allowed.
Thank you for this list!
