AMAZON AND WALMART LINKS FOR EASY SHOPPING

Amazon registry

(or search Margaret Porch and Shoe Box Party Packing Ideas in the ‘gift list’ registry).

Walmart registry

(or search “Operation Christmas Child – Liberty” in the ‘Any Occasion’ section of Walmart’s gift registry search)

No requirement to use these links, but almost all of the bulk purchases are significantly less expensive

than the $1.25 to $1.50 per item (and higher) now charged at Dollar Tree.

For the bigger bulk items (like Teddy Bears), you could even go together with a friend!
Each link has an option for gift card purchases which will all be applied to purchase more items for the boxes.
Items purchased from the registry will be shipped to the Porch household and taken to Liberty from there.

You do not have to purchase items to come to the packing party.
It is a family event opened to all – many hands make light labor!
