The joy of Gift boxes

Lumiere was delighted that Christmas boxes brought much joy. 

They are a practical way of sending gift items that will make a difference to others.

Practical tips for Gift Boxes;
We start in January. Whenever there is a sale of
Hair combs
Hair brushes
Practical clothing like good cotton T'shirts, skirts, trousers, clothing appropriate for the climate
Sandals or shoes appropriate for the climate
School writing books
Pens
Pencils
Erasers
Pencil Sharpeners
Maths equipment boxes
Paints (non-flammable) and brushes for painting pictures 
Rulers
Reading books suitable for children and local village and school libraries
Teddy bears and soft cuddly toys suitable for children (no items on them that a child could twist off and either hurt themselves with or swallow by mistake)
I am sure you can think of many more!

We buy items of each and store them during the year. 
We then box them out in time for Christmas. 
We also send Gift boxes during the year, or if we find a local family in need of items we give them from our stores.

Why not start buying your own items for Gift boxes during the year? It's a great way of sharing our blessings with others ...
Happy New Year!
