The toy section of one shoebox:
- Bouncy ball$0.39
- Sunglasses$0.76
- Folding fan$0.44
- Sneaky snake$0.18
- Puzzle ball$0.55
- Crayon eraser$0.38
- Six toys, per box$2.70
Priced per item so the math is easy — sold by the dozen or gross, no giant case minimums to work around.
We're one part of your box. We just make it the easy part.
You know the shoebox drill — the wow item, something to wear, the hygiene stuff, school supplies. That's your other stops. The small toys are our part. At the dollar store, that section runs $6–8 a box at $1.25 an item. Bought in bulk — by the dozen or gross, priced per item so the math stays easy — the same handful of toys is $2 and change.
Same joy in the box. More toys in every one. And a lot less strain on the missions budget — which means more boxes packed.
Why churches have bought from us for 40 years
Kids already vetted everything
We only keep stocking toys kids actually get excited about — if something doesn't hold up, it doesn't stay in the catalog. Forty years of paying attention to what kids love, one order at a time. (It's part of why skating rinks and arcades have shopped here too.)
Order 50 boxes worth. Or 500.
No forced case quantities. We've always done low minimums because that's what our small customers need. Mix a gross of one thing with a dozen of another.
One shipment to the church office
We pack and ship from our own warehouse here in Texas. Your whole toy order arrives in one box. Free shipping over $750.
Want a little help getting started?
Email how many boxes you're packing and your rough budget to service@rebeccas.com and we'll suggest a mix of toys from our shoebox collection to get you started. Real humans, family business — we just answer email faster than phones. 🙂
“The Polar Bear finger puppets are so cute. I can't wait to add them in the shoeboxes for the younger kiddos!
Also am pleased with the foam darts and nativity puzzles. Thanks again!” — Carol P., Facebook Comment
“We really did receive our order fast” — Billi M., Facebook Comment
Things coordinators usually ask us
Do your toys meet the OCC shoebox guidelines?
Most of our small toys fit OCC's categories well — balls, figures, jump ropes, plush, puzzles, school-supply-style items. We're not the official authority on their list (Samaritan's Purse publishes the current guidelines on their site), but if you're eyeing something specific and aren't sure, email us and we're happy to look at it with you before you order.
How far ahead should we order?
National Collection Week is in mid-November, and most churches pack in October. We keep stock levels up year round. Ordering by early September means best selection and zero shipping stress. The relaxed coordinators order in August. 🙂
Not sure what to order or how much?
Totally normal, especially your first year. Email us how many boxes you're packing and roughly what you'd like to spend, and we'll suggest a mix of items from the shoebox collection — a little variety across balls, plush, fidgets, and small extras. You can always adjust from there.
Do you have "wow" items too, or just fillers?
The small-toy section is our specialty, but we do carry plush and some larger items that can anchor a box. Email us your budget per box and we'll tell you honestly what we have and what you're better off getting elsewhere.
What if we only need small quantities of some items?
That's kind of our thing. Order a dozen of this and a gross of that. Nobody's forcing 5,000-piece cases on a church packing 80 boxes.
More toys in every box. More boxes on the pallet.
Browse the shoebox collection — or email your box count to service@rebeccas.com and we'll send you a suggested order. (Rather talk? 817-545-2745 works too.)
