Sadiya in India will turn 9 years old on March 1st.
I chose to send her things that have stars and hearts on them. I found so cute paper, stickers, and a Paul Frank monkey card. Seriously, what girl wouldn't like sparkley stickers and pretty paper?
Handsome Sagar will turn 10 years old on March 3rd.
I put together a wild animal themed package for him! I bought some animal print scrapbook paper and some sparkley jungle animal stickers. The giraffe and tiger postcards were from my collection of postcards. Selfishly enough, it was hard for me to send the tiger one. It's one of the new cards in my collection and the tiger is my favorite animal. But, I decided that Sagar will love it more than I do (I hope!) and it's totally worth it to send it.
Do any of your sponsored children have birthdays in March? If so, this is the time to be sending your packages, as they'll take 2-3 months to arrive to them.
What kinds of things do you send your sponsored children on their birthdays?
You found great things for them!! I need to start working on that - I always seem to forget to send a birthday package until it's too late. We usually send a money gift, but forget about the other! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment! I usually try to send a money gift too, and while I'm happy that money is usually used to buy clothes or food, sometimes it's just not what kids really want to buy on their birthday, even if it's something they need, you know? I'm hoping by sending some fun things, their birthday will feel more special.
DeleteThat's great stuff you've got there, I'm sure they'll love them!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 birthdays coming up really soon. My Wickly will be 10 on Monday & Yvette will be 8 on Christmas day! I sent Wickly some football things back in September so hopefully they'll be ready for him to get on Monday!
My next birthday after that is Kleafton in April. Once Christmas is over I'll look into getting things for him :)
You sponsor Wickly through World Vision, right? Or maybe I'm thinking of somebody else. Just curious. I'm sure he'll love the football stuff!
DeleteTwo of my kids have birthdays in April, too. I'm going to be mailing things off for the in January. I have some shopping to do, haha.
Those are great! They will be surprised. The tiger is the national animal of India I think. I know Sagar will love it.
ReplyDeleteVikeshbhai will turn ten on March 15th.
I didn't know that about the tiger! I'm so glad that I decided to send it to Sagar!
DeleteWickly is a Compassion Correspondent child, my WV child is Lawrence:)
ReplyDeleteThat's right! Sorry, it's hard to keep all of these kids straight, haha.
