Hello! I wanted to take a moment and apologize for there not being a post last week. I was in pioneer school so it was a crazy but enjoyable experience. There was a lot of knowledge and encouragement that I got over the last week to keep going in my public ministry. This is more or less back to the usual grind this week though so I thought I would include a short post today about what I included in the gift for my fellow pioneers.

A couple of weeks ago I made a post of different suggestions to put in the boxes. I have used some of the ideas and thought you might like to see them. Since my school was almost an hour and a half away and I had 21 boxes to take I did use different boxes. I bought these ones from Amazon (you can find them here). They were of great quality and very sturdy. I loved that they were white and that they were easy to customize with vinyl if desired. Here is what was inside of the box.

I had a lot of different ideas but I wanted to go with something more simple. I started out by making mugs for everyone. There were two sides. The one side is the pictured above, the mugs also had the location on them but I have edited them out of the photo for privacy reasons. The back had this year’s text on them. I also bought a couple of packs of pens from the Dollar Tree because you can always use a good pen. For this one, I chose just a simple black pen that had a removable cap but you can also choose personalized ones or ones that are a little more fancy.

Next, I decided to do the lightbulbs. I bought them on Amazon which you can find here. I used the 100ml ones and they turned out perfect. I bought some Starburst jelly beans from Sams Club. It took a little over 2 plastic tubs to fill all 24 light bulbs. You can choose to add a cute note if you would like.

I finished off the box with the flight tickets. I highly recommend the seller that is in the previous post. The quality is great and I loved that there were four different colors. This was easily the star of the show and the thing that everyone loved. I’m excited to use these files again in the future.

That about wraps it up for today’s post. Thank you so much for joining me today. Talk to you next week!
