shoeboxes?

[misshardbroom]

Anyone doing the Christmas shoebox thing at school for Romania?

And if so, what are you putting in it? I know what you're ALLOWED to put in, but what are you actually including without it costing you a fortune?

cheap hat and gloves from sainsbury's - about £2 each, a small packet of crayons and top tip received from a friend, all the tat the kids get in party bags throughout the year.
Also a big bag of haribo sweets, tube of toothpaste and toothbrush.
A card from the children and a photo of them.
It does add up but I think it's the most worthwhile thing we do all year.
