Youth & Teen Pajamas (Please no fleece), Hoodies of all sizes, Hair Appliances (for example: Flat Irons, Curling Irons, Diffusers, etc.), Sneakers & Crocs for kids and teens, T-shirts of all sizes, Youth Boy Pants and Jeans, Youth and Teen Underwear (the boys prefer boxer briefs), Full Size Basketballs, Soccer balls, Volleyballs, & Footballs, Books (Board Books, Early Readers, & Hard Cover Journals please), Watches & Wallets for Youth or Teen Boys, and Squishmallows.

We love it when organizations, churches, businesses, and clubs host collections of these items for us. It's also wonderful when we see individuals, neighborhoods, and families hosting parties where they collect items for The Twig.

As we experienced the magic of Venice's annual Christmas parade, we were reminded of the resilience and strength that comes from community, and we left with memories that will continue to inspire us. 🙏🏻🎄🎅
