MAGI GIFT BOX INSTRUCTIONS:
Please select a shoe sized clear plastic box (These are extremely useful in the household). Do not wrap your boxes in wrapping paper because they need to be viewable for customs. Please have your boxes turned into the church by Oct. 14th. *Note – One of our members has generously offered to pay all of the shipping and handling charges of $15 per box for up to 300 boxes. We hope that our members who are preparing boxes will use the money they will save on shipping to purchase and fill more boxes! |
