Frequently Asked Questions...
What should be given to a 10-14 year old girl in a shoebox appeal?
I was thinking of
a scarf, hat and gloves
notepad
colouring pencils/pens
soap
toothpaste/brush
Does anyone have any other ideas?
I'm not sure where the boxes go to. All I know is that yout fill the shoebox, select whether its for a boy or girl and select the age. The boxes then get taken to a collection station and get distributed to lots of different courtries, probably Africa, and Eastern Europe like Bulgaria.
Answer:
I know exactly what your talking about. I've filled 5 boxes this week. Its called operation christmas child.
These boxes go to different countries, so you may not want to put books in them - the recipient may not speak english. And your not allowed to send liquids like perfume or lotion.
I put combs, bar soap, candy & gum (in ziploc bag), pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, paper, crayons, coloiring books, and a bunch of toys in mine. (I did younger kids.) Also, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
You could include colored pencils, hair clips or hair tyes, a shirt (some of those kids literally have nothing), maybe even a pair of flip flops or sandals. Possibly a small flashlight with extra batteries and a solar calculator.
Convince your friends to fill shoeboxes too! Great Job!

New Era Hat, Not Only Hats
There are a lot of hip-pop, R&B celebrities and fashionable people are wearing monster energy hats no matter the occasion is. We have also seen the world famous brands promote the coordination styles in collaboration with New Era. It is not only as simply as a hat.
In 1920, Ehrhardt Koch formally established a hat company, named E Koch Cap Co. and only had 14 employees, in Buffalo in New York. And the company renamed as New Era in 1922. This company designed the first baseball hat in 1932. Afterwards, it was exclusively authorized and began to specialize in supplying hats for the professional baseball team——Cleveland Indians, which was their first team for special supply. By the forties of the twentieth century, New Era had become a company exclusively providing caps for many professional baseball teams. In the following, it began to intensely compete with such brands as Wilson, Spalding, Rawlings, etc.. In the late 1940s, New Era has been mainly in the production of hats that can be adjustable yet. To 1954, they combined Brooklyn style, re-designed the shape and color matching of the hats and made this series rename to 59Fifty. By 1965, nfl hats had provided hats to 10 Major Baseball League Teams. New Era designed the unique "full closure" hat in 1969. To 1974, New Era dedicated hats to 20-24 Major Baseball League Teams. In early 1980s, New Era could not only provide 23 Major Baseball League Teams caps, but also received large amount orders from schools, enterprises, international baseball teams and golf teams, etc...
In 1986 New Era launched a cap called MLB Diamond Collection which is provided to American baseball association. The public can also buy it from store. This activity yielded great success and it even became a popular trend to match everything with New Era hat at that time. In 1993, New Era Hats completely defeated its then major rivals and got the exclusively supplying license granted by American MLB.
Spike Lee, a famous American black director, personally presented to let New Era design an all-red model of hat for a film he was directing in 1996. The team hat of New York Yankees in white font made New Era rise to fame at that time. Among all people (adults, males, and women) from different walks on the streets of USA, you could see New Era cap.
In 2006, New Era Cap Company moved its headquarters from Buffalo's suburbs to downtown area. In the same year, in May the first flagship store was opened in the SOHO district of New York City, in November the second flagship store was opened in the New Er March in 2007, New Era not only made stringent requirement of design, but also bravely innovated. To the aspect of cap material, company brought in the excellent performance of 100% polyester as a raw material based on the use of 100% pure wool. It marked a great change in their traditional process of producing hats after 20 years. In 2007 Spring, the third New Era flagship store was opened in London, the same year in August, New Era opened its flagship stores one after another in Toronto, Queen Street, Atlanta, Berlin, Birmingham, Japan, Korea and other countries.
Beginning from 1996 when New Era caps emerged in the film by famous Negro director Spike Lee, New Era has been more than a product infusing into people's life, and it rather represents a culture, a big popular trend.
