Thanks for the inspiration! I also like to pack school supplies ahead of time, and use a variety of bags and containers. Besides the zippered packs, I really like the slim tin pencil cases from DT. I can fit a lot in there (except scissors) and they pack really well into a shoebox; sometimes on its side works best. I also like the plastic snap boxes which can hold a lot of items, including a flashlight, bandaids, and lots more. Sometimes I find them for $1 or less on sale in various stores. Our Walmart had them for 99 cents. One other item I like to include in my pencil packs is paper clips, an assortment of large and small. Also, I sometimes put in index cards, not a whole package, but some. Happy packing!!
Those are all great tips!!! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
Grate pencil packs and great information!! TFS and Crafty hugs ❤️🤗!!
Thanks so much! Hopefully it helps! 😊
Great info Robyn!
Now is DEFINATELY the time to get the best deals on school supplies so I'm glad you put this video out!
I use almost identical items you do when packing 40 pencil packs to donate to the church for their packing purposes. The same pencil packs, split up crayons the same way, a similar number of pencils and always 2 sharpeners! 😆Since these go to the church I STUFF them full and usually include other items like stickers, bookmarks, pins, fun erasers and bracelets I get on sale from Oriental Trading. They are a great resource when their items are on clearance.
Agreed! I almost added the oriental Trading stickers to my list. But I really only add those to my filler pencil packs. Because I usually add an entire sticker pad from dollar tree to my boxes.
Loved the video. As always thanks for the tips!
You are so welcome! It’s such a fun hobby to get to make these videos for you!!
Love your pencil packs! Hope you've been doing well. Haven't commented in a while but I've been watch and love all you do!
Thank you! You too! I’m also seeing all your new designs in Wonder’s Nook. So cute.
@@mattmanandrobynn Thank you! things have been taking off.
So many great suggestions! Love your insight to help get the best products for the lowest overall cost!!!
Hope it helps some people. 😊or at least gives them ideas of how to pack their own style. ❤️
Great video Robynn, I bought one package of those Pen and Gear yellow pencils for .47 because I wasn't sure about the quality ,so im relieved to hear you like them. I have an abundance of novelty eraser for this year, thanks to two locally owned discount stores. I got 16 count valentines that came with pencils for .50 cents a box. A few boxes were a dollar but fir 16 pencils it's still a good deal. That is a great deal on those beautiful Christmas bags. Thanks for this helpful information. Love you too❤
Glad you snagged those deals at your local store! ❤️
Thanks for breaking things down like you did. Very helpful.
My pleasure! I’m such a nerd when it comes to spreadsheets. 📊
So much great information! I have been ordering novelty animal erasers from Temu lately, 10 for around $1.65. The price fluctuates, so you have to catch them when the price goes down. They're called "animal puzzle erasers" and they are super cute. I haven't tried to erase with them, so I don't know how well they work as an actual eraser, but I think they are great little toy items. 😊
That is awesome! $0.17 is a great deal!!! I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
Great video helpful information I'm glad to know that those colored pencils are good quality cuz I just bought 30 packs for our church
They really are good. 👍
Your videos are so informative! Those 100 erasers from Walmart are such a good deal! Here I was about to spend more elsewhere for way less erasers! Thank you! Currently packing shoeboxes and filler pencil packs for the first time!! I also find some pretty good deals on Oriental Trading. 😄
You are so welcome! Glad I could help. I enjoy oriental trading too! Especially their clearance section. Lots of good stickers to be found. ⭐️⭐️
They are great. Nice and full.
Thanks! I know everyone packs different but that’s how I do it. 😀
Thank You for the pricing. Helps us a lot.
You bet! It was my first time to write it all down so I thought I would share!
I agree about CraZArt crayons. They are my favorite. The colors are vivid and they slide smoothly across the page. I like them better than Crayola, too. Another tidbit of info…I watched a CZcams video testing heat tolerance of all the crayon brands and CraZArt came out on top 👍. All that said, I’m packing a lot of Pen + Gear crayons in boxes this year, because of the $.25 price point 🤷🏻♀️. I do like the fact that you break up the box and include 7 crayons in your pencil packs, though. That definitely stretches the budget and sometimes it’s hard to pack a whole box of crayons. Nice video, Robynn ❤
I agree; I love the CraZart crayons and colored pencils.
Good to know about the heat! I bought some pen and gear crayons this year too. I should be all set for my boxes and my filler! ❤️
Thank you for this video, it's really helpful!! I've started to make my own price tracker so I know what's the best price to buy some items. I love hearing what other people spend it gives me a guide. 💖
Glad it was helpful! This is the first time I’ve written it all down so maybe it will help me in my year round shopping too! 😉
Great video, Robynn! Very helpful- especially for new packers. I prefer Cra Z Art crayons too 😊 However, the price increase to .40 really has me down 😔 So, I am switching to Pen & Gear crayons, which are still .25 at my Walmart. I do put a couple pieces of scotch tape on the boxes to secure them a little better since the boxes are a little flimsier. I just bought some of those P & G scissors today! However, only a couple sets because the JOT brand at DT are a tad cheaper, and, seem to me to be pretty good quality. There, you get 2 in a pack for 1.25 or .63 each. They are cute colors too. Great find on the tote bags from BB & B. TFS, Robynn.
I got some pen and gear crayons this year too. But crazy art are still my favorite. I love those Jot scissors but they aren’t carried constantly in my DTs around here. I grab them when I see them. I especially like them for older kiddos and sewing kits as I think they are actually a little sharper. 😉
Awesome video! I just got the reward erasers from Walmart for $2 today! I’m waiting to find the crayola colors of the world crayons on sale. I’ve been putting one in each crayon pack.
That’s a great idea thanks so much for sharing! 😊
I love your pencils bags, and the BiC ballpoint pens are awsome for sketching and write fine. But...
Please give more colors. At least a pack of 10/12 colors, and Wallmart (now) have 12-pack for only 1 USD.
It is not fun for anybody to have a very small amout of colors.... crayons, color pens or....
Thanks for your input! 😊
Thanks for the suggestions. I was wondering how you became an Christmas child enthusiast. How long have you been doing this?
Good question! I honestly don’t remember when I started but it was in the early 2000’s when I was in college so close to 20 years now. For most of those years I only did one box. Then after I married we started doing one box for each age and gender. Then about 3 years ago during Covid I really turned it into a hobby and now do about 20-30 a year. But one box is as important as a thousand!
Have you ever heard of HJ Closeouts? They are an online wholesaler. A lot of the stuff they sell doesn't work for shoeboxes but they have pretty good prices on bulk pens. It's 1000 or 500 at a time, but I really like them.
Wow never heard of it. Can you add the link?
School supplies are always fun, I just got myself a Star Wars notebook and Avengers stationry kit, and plan to get another notebook of Minions :)
How do you make 7 count crayon kits? 16 isnt dividable by 7, do you always make sure to buy mulipules of 7?
Yes, I try to by in multiples of 7 and if I can’t I always go bigger and use the leftovers for fillers. 😁
I make the same type of crayon packs but I get the bags at Walmart and they fit 8 crayons. So you can make 3 bags with one 24 box of crayons.
