I really enjoyed birds when I was a girl in the 10-14 year old range-even played with the idea of going into the field of ornithology. I still like birds, so this was fun box to put together.
It started with the Beanie Baby which I said looked like an albino cardinal-much to the amusement of my family. Then I found the photo/gift box
When I do a theme box, what that means to me is while 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 & case; washcloth; comb)
- School supplies (lined paper, pens, pencils, sharpener, eraser, ruler, etc.)
- Art supplies (crayons, watercolors, and/or colored pencils; plain paper and/or coloring book; stickers, etc.)
- Ball
- Stuffed Animal
- Toy
- Game
- Something to wear
- Whistle
- Some sort of container (maybe a bag or tin)
- And a family photo (not pictured above)
If you'd like a better look at what exact items I packed in this box, and how I fit it all in, check out this unboxing video I took of it:
