The Samaritan's Purse mission is for every child to know that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. Your shoebox will be an expression of God's love to a child and may be the only gift he or she receives. So plan to pack quality items that will last. Be sure to make them FUN, adding a “wow” item and new toys a child will love; FULL, with no empty space; and PERSONALIZED so that each is unique and prayed over and includes a note of encouragement.

I have a 4 year old and these are some of the toys he could not live without.

As a second-time mom, I’ve learned what actually matters, but I still love being prepared for every scenario (so yes, I overpacked just a little). This list includes everything in my hospital bag, focused on natural, nontoxic, and genuinely useful items. I organized everything in packing cubes to make it easy to grab what I needed in the moment: one for labor and delivery, one for postpartum, one for snacks, and one for filming gear and chargers. Take what resonates for your own birth experience and skip what doesn’t. Hopefully this helps you pack your own bag with a little more ease and a lot more intention.
