I love no theme boxes filled with random items that the kids will love.

The idea of filling a shoebox with things a shoebox youtuber would have been happy about when she was in her teens is very entertaining. ☺ 👏

Amazing box!! I would have loved that box!

I often feel that the teens get short changed because more boxes are made for the younger kids. I’ll take your tips for sure. Well Done!

Delightful box and great concept. The girl will be absolutely enchanted. LOVE the journal and gel pens. Great job on the menstrual pads. Thanks for sharing.

You were junk journaling before junk journals were a thing lol! Thanks! I love you for being so open and honest about this hygiene issue. I am gonna pack many of these for 2024 now that I know how to do it.

@lisahector7599 3 years ago

Absolutely love this box!!! Such a blessing to the child that will receive it. Thank you for sharing.

@melodymills5432 3 years ago

What a glorious box. Thank you for sharing how you pack those special items. I never thought of putting in a clothesline and clothes pins. And the wet bag...what an idea. Love getting ideas from your vlogs.

A well rounded box. She will definitely be amazed with all the art supplies. I have the same fidget in my older girl boxes. Teenage Robyn was fun.

@lora4056 3 years ago

I love it! I’m sure God has just the right girl planned for this box. I love the idea of representing yourself in a box

@shenacary149 3 years ago

Wow you get a lot of cool things in one box.

Class of 2007 over here! 🙌🏼 I love how much thought you put into this box. Ariel was always my favorite Disney princess! I have been packing my menstrual pads the same way and I’m using your printable for instructions! Thank you!! I laminate as well and then include line and clothes pins for the young lady. I picked up a few of the cosmic cats coloring and sticker pages from dollar general and have found them to be so useful in boxes! I really enjoyed this unboxing for an older girl, went so well with the 2000’s theme!

This box was so cool! I absolutely loved it! My favorite color is also purple! I bet you were the best cheerleader on the squad as much encouragement you give to all of us! You are always a delight to watch. I am much older and graduated in 1984 so I did my 80’s box with my favorites from the good ole days…TFS

absolutely love this box

Hi Robynn, This is a cool box for Miss 10-14. I love the gel pens and all the 'art' supplies. The concept of packing yourself into a box is a great source of inspiration. Perhaps you could include a teen photo of yourself.
This year, I packed a musical jewellery box with a fairy/ballerina for Miss 5-9. This type of jewellery box was my Wow gift for my 6th Birthday. For Miss 10-14, I packed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. That was my favourite outfit as a teen - no mess, no fuss. Even my hair was dead straight - a "nothing" or self-managed hair-style according to my curly haired teen friends. 👩‍🦱

Super awesome!! I love the art supplies and the stuffy unicorn-owl thingy :) :) if you want a way to include your mascot, if you could find a small bufflo figure (the size of the ponies) it will be a nice way to include a little extra thing from your high school years :)

Just a little note, I know that the 10-15 in the title was probobly a typo, but I really wish that 15-18 was another age range, I feel like the older teenagers could also use amazing boxes from OCC <3

If you decided to do another box like this, I think a Lisa Frank coloring book would be a great fit! I always wanted all the Lisa Frank school supplies!

@sherrymacomber7772 1 year ago

Thank you so much for the printable directions ❤❤❤

@byrdfeed9071 3 years ago

This is a great shoebox, Robynn! First let me say, I love your rationalization for using a bigger box. And you are so right. Why should a child get less because they’re bigger? That set of gel pens is a fantastic WOW!! I just received a set from Angie for a girls 10–14 outer space box. I’m so excited to include it. Love the fairy lights. So much fun. Thanks for sharing this super fun and practical box that any teenager would appreciate and love ❤️

@sassyscrappers 3 years ago

Super, awesome, cool jacket! WOW I would go crazy for those gel pens. I love the fairy lights and cloud what a great and fun gift. That stuffy is sooo cute. The menstrual pads is such a wonderful gift. I love everything that you included in this very special box.
