Are these Large or Individual boxes? Right now am planning on 2-Large boxes, but that will total 18 individual boxes inside. May do more -- just waiting on pillowcases. Right now I have 10 promised, so need to get the other 8. Someone that does a LOT of traveling has donated small/sample sizes of soap, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, lotion and the little kits that you get in First Class. We made up toiletry kits and am using them in one set, and the "little kits" in the other set, with hot chocolate packet, drink singles, granola bars, and whales/goldfish. Just need to add the pillowcases and these are ready to go. My custom forms are filled out this time. (Early!) :) I try to fill every available space in the boxes so they get more on their end. I've gotten really good at this. Even surprised my sailor with his Christmas gifts. One box was Christmas breakfast in a box -- pancake mix, can of cherry pie filling, hot chocolate, marshmallows, and even strawberry syrup. We call it IHOP at home. There was more in the box too, but he was like 'How did you get all of that in there, and the syrup didn't even break!" THANKS MOLLY! Practice makes perfect?!
