TOOL TIME 🛠 10-14 BOY OCC SHOEBOX UNBOXING | Tool bag & Harmonica | Operation Christmas Child 2022 

Upon repacking, added 2 small mending (sewing) kits, contributed by viewer, Joan Cowan and a pack of 3 AAA Batteries.

I'm watching this one for the second time. I really can't believe how much you got in this box. It covers the spectrum well from 10 to 14. I love it. Great job!!!

My 8-year old and granddaughter and I started watching your videos and a few other lovely ladies too about a week ago. We are definitely going to pack a few boxes this year. I am starting with this category. To me it seems the trickiest, so it will only get easier from there. My granddaughter already picked out a Barbie and an outfit and a soft zip case for Barbie dolls to put the stuff in. Like a big pencil pouch designed for fashion dolls that will easily fit into a shoebox. She Also picked out a ruler and journal. Obviously it's easy for her to pick things she would like. I'm very proud she is so happily shopping for others and doesn't ask for anything for herself. I feel she's on a good path in life. Thanks to all of you who participate in this awesome project. Your kindness is contagious ☺ 💕 PS: I like the dice idea for this category. They can play alone or with some buddies.

It never ceeases to amaze me how you get all that in a little shoe box. God bless you!!

Trish, you highlighted the challenge I feel with the 10 to 14 year old boys. To me, a just turned 10 year old's interests are very different than those of a soon to be 15 year old. Finding a way to transcend that range can be difficult, but I believe you have done a great job of doing so. You included enough tools to be useful to this young man but also made sure he has cool sunglasses, a bouncy ball, Hot Wheels cars, marbles, dominoes, a harmonica, a cute stuffy and more. I also like how you added the touches of red to add pops of color to the blues and grays. Another outstanding box! 🧰

That was very thoughtful of you to add the colors on the list in the color by number book. (20:40) Nice box!

You certainly put a lot of creative thought into the box, someone is going to be amazed by all his tools, toys and such! Bravo!

Great shoebox!!! You are a really thoughtful person!!! I use the "tool" pouches for everything from a tool kit to a first aid kit to a fishing kit to a game/activity kit. These pouches are so universal. I started to add a solar/hand crank flashlight, so I didn't need to worry about batteries.

You did a great job of balancing out the fun for a potential younger boy in this age group. But honestly, I remember even my young nephew at age 3, wanting to mimic everything his dad was doing, and he loved working with tools. I think you will make whatever boy receives this box quite happy! TFS

Fantastic tool time box Trish! This young boy will delight in all the treasures you packed! Thanks for the shout out! We must have been thinking of the same things when we packed these boxes! We did pick a lot of the same items! Great minds. Lol. Love his tool bag. I get something similar on Amazon. They pack very nicely! Nice and flat. You’ve given him a wow harmonica and the wow tools! So awesome! You “nailed” it all! 😀 Thanks for sharing!

What an amazing box , with a good variety of practical and fun . Praying that the lord will bless the young man who recives it xx

Great job! I pack for the older kids as well -- what I did was to circle the 14 on the label and add a large sticker that says "career box" or "older teen." I figure the adult passing them out will know who it should go to.

Thats the best 10 to 14 boys I've seen ! ...yours and Denises boxes are amazing made lots of notes for ideas. Hi from the U.K xx

Finally, catching up with my videos! What better way than to start with a “tool box”……after having so many repair people here at the house these last few weeks 😄😄😄😄😄. I too find 10-14 boy boxes challenging. LOVE, LOVE his complete outfit, paracord bracelets, tool socks, backpack and cool sunglasses. The harmonica, marbles, dice, bouncy ball, stickers, Hot Wheels, coloring book and packable checker game adds fun and excitement for any boy 10-14 to enjoy! Thanks for sharing this fun-filled box! ⚒️ 🧰 🚘

BTW I love watching your videos! I love seeing someone who puts the same amount of thought and creative ideas into each box. Last year I packed 72 boxes and got some donations on items but the most helpful donations I've been receiving that last several years is getting people to sponsor the shipping costs for all those boxes. The yr before last I pushed 10 toolboxes and last year 5. It's such a rewarding feeling to pack them... to create special gifts inside each one. I've made: first aid kits. Sewing kits. Hair accessory boxes. Keep up the Good work on those Blessing Boxes. As I call them.

that is an Amazing Shoe Box !!!! Thank You for the IDEAS!!!!

Wow, this is a very wow shoebox! Every item is great quality and I would consider a wow item. Like the outfit, sunglasses, Beanie baby, and harmonica. My favorite is the backpack. Even the smaller toys are lots of fun and wow like the dice and marbles. And the tool kit is fantastic! Quality tools and variety. And the tool socks are super fun. I really like the coloring book and all the stickers you added. Great shoebox for an older boy. Thanks for sharing, Trish! 🛠🔧🔩

This is very amazing :) don't worry about the clothing, the way i view it is "Pack toys for the youngest and clothes for the oldest", since you can easily wear a shirt that is too big, but you can't wear a shirt that is too small, as for the toys and games, I think aiming to the younger side is better, since for example packing a game that is recommanded for 8+ in a 5-9 might not be a good idea, since then it will be too hard to a 5 or 6 year old, while a 9 year old can defnellty play a 5+ game I find it funny that you mentioned basketball, since I won a free baskeball today for achivening my goals in my fitness app XD (yes, we get free stuff for using it!) I love this box, even if the boy isn't into tools, those are useful items and can be used around the house by the parents (we can never know what state is the house they live in) and you included many toys and games for a 10 year old like marbles and checkers (and don't forget that any rope can double as a skipping rope, you don't need a "special" one for that XD) this is an amazing box and this video came just in time for me (while recovering from a root canal)

Wow nice box, after watching this video I realized this was packed and sent a year ago. Lol ,😅well I'm glad I finally got to see this great unboxing. I'm sure the boy loved receiving this box.

After watching all I can say is WOW!! Everything is a WOW! Love the harmonica, tools and nice clothing choices. This young man is not only set for a little while but potentially years to come! I love all the details, the nice manicure set, the tools socks, so cute!! The prayer card and cross are so special 🙏 Funny story: we call our boys "the bulls" and their room is the bullroom! They both have the same red bull! Thanks for sharing 💖

I really like those bracelets, thank you for sharing the link. I love adding those cool fidget spinners I have to order more I'm almost all out. Those tool themes socks are fantastic. Very nice tool set with bag. Brilliant idea putting the colored dots next to the numbers, I'm totally going to do that. Fun stickers! That hot wheel car with the wrench is perfect, you find the coolest cars. The prayers card and cross are such a special gift. Thank you for sharing

I loved your tool box.

Love this shoebox. It's great that you packed so many dice. 💕

Hi Trish, definitely a fun box! I am not very handy but I have a screwdriver like that at home for small DIY projects. I love the colour scheme. The red items certainly add a pop of colour. ❤️💙

Hi Trish, It is great to see a tool box for Mr. 10-14. I packed three tool boxes last year, and have only recently got the 'call' to pack another. I saw a large canvas pencil pouch the other day, and thought, like it. Not sure what to do with it. So I left it. Now seeing how you have packed this kit, I'm like Dang! I am now very much unlikely to get that $1 deal again. BTW, I love the red bull; A good choice for this box.

great job Trish! i think your 10-14 boy boxes are always awesome, a great balance of fun and practical stuff... thank you again for sharing! 💖💖💖

Very nice and useful shoebox. I really like the bag you put it in, perfect size. Oh btw, I sent you the pictures of the cars I told you about that go with those turbo mini car stations. TFS!

Nice box. There's been times I've circled the "14" on the label when I've sent older boy tool boxes. Not sure if it does any good but it couldn't hurt. I've used those tool pouches before too. I need to get out to my Harbor Freight.

I am doing the tool box. I would love to add a fishing kit.

I think TEMU has more than Shein.

Love the card with various knots on it. Do you have a personal laminator? I’ve been interested in getting one to use for OCC but haven’t looked into them. Let me know if you like yours. This boy will love his tool shoebox!

Could you tell me how to make a fishing kit. To pack in my teen boy box?

What mm cordage is that to fit through the holes on those crosses?

Very nice, well rounded, and especially fun box, which I have no doubts will appeal to both a 10 year old and a 14 year old, and every age in between. 💙🤍❤️
