I have read about those boxes going to a shelters, no presents for the ferrets, just an empty box with poop or just newspapers. I also send 2nd hand blankets, gently used bedding, I pick them up in Thrift shop, yard sale, and send some well used but clean bedding too. I miss doing the Giving Tree last year. This year I have sent a box off to a shelter. I am not working that much in housecleaning so I do not have the extra money to send several packages off, as before. I have built up a lot of materials so that I can sew hammy sleep sacks, crinkle sacks, and tents for the wee ones. Marie [Posted in FML 7983]
