Make a shoebox full of toys and necessities for a child in need for Christmas!

Your goal is to create a shoebox for a boy or girl up to ages 14.


Attempt to get an item from each category below.

100% include a toothbrush, washcloth and bar of soap. These products are in desperate need for each child as they are products that typically aren't available to them.
