You're such a sweetie! I'm going to see if I can put something together xx
ReplyDelete:) that's great x
DeleteGreat idea! I've sent a couple of boxes before which was Christmas boxes for Albanian orphans, that was years ago when a few people from where I live took a massive truck full of second hand stuff there every year. They did it during their civil war as well, which in my opinion was very brave. (I went on a family holiday to Corfu around that time and could hear the gun shots from the beach...) I think its a fab idea to send boxes to our forces too, everything is needful. My pal was out serving in Afghanistan (no longer touring) and he said he really looked forward to his parcels, as basics ran out so quick. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeletewow that was really kind (and brave!). It's really a great idea sending the boxes to the troops x
DeleteI am deffo going to make a box up, think I'll do a female one month then a male the next. I think regardless of what you think of what's happening in Afghanistan etc it's nice to do something do boost the troops' morale :) x
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea of Elaine's, I've previously sent books and sweets to the troops - beauty is much more my thing ;) x
DeleteThis is such a great idea, whoever gets what you put together will be very happy :-)
ReplyDeleteIts a fab idea! Here's hoping! :) x
