Survival Kit help!

hels102

Well just over an hour ago I decided to do some Survival Kits I've just started one for my sister and I'm struggling on the following? I've no idea what to put in place of these I love the verses though and would really like to use them!

Payday - So we will always have money to go - SHOPPING!

Jolly Rancher - For the times I can't be there with you to make you smile .

Conversation Hearts - For all of our "heartfelt" conversations


Peppermint Patty - Just in case I can't be there to give you a "pat" on the back - this will have to do! .

are you wanting it all done with sweeties?

98jdougl - No I'm quite flexible in what I use!

what about a piece of string when she feels like it is all falling apart? a marble for when she has lost hers
a hershey's kiss/galaxy mistletoe kiss because sometimes you just need a kiss
will keep thinking about it

If I remember rightly - what I put in mine were:

Bandaid - should your feelings be hurt or those of someone close
Heart - so you know you're always loved no matter no
Tea-light candle - to light up any dark corners in your life
Star - to show you the way if you ever feel lost
Tea Bag - for a 'stress cuppa' if you feel you need one
String - to help you keep things together when you feel they're falling apart
Marble - just in case you think you've lost all yours
Eraser - to get rid of the mistakes (providing you feel you've leant from them)
Tissue - for tears of joy and sadness
Smiley face - to remind you that smiling is contageous -smile & you get one back
Pencil - to write down your blessings
Coin - so you'll never be completely broke
Blu-tak - to help you 'stick with it' when the going gets tough
Cotton wool ball - to cushion the bumps in life
Flower - no matter how hurried life becomes, make sure you stop to smell the roses

Did that lot for my friend and my two sons.............hope that helps

Thanks both they are brilliant!

Sorry Can I just ask have you just put all the bits in a jar then made a list of the reasons? this is all new to me!

hels102

Well I've managed to sort out all the verses I'm really pleased!
I'm now looking for a verse to stick to the jar, any ideas?!

hels - I put my survival kits in little boxes and put a label on.......sorry can't tell you what I put in my friends as it's all wrapped up.
I put a printable lable on my sons that came from one of the survival kit sites -can't remember which one now...........sorry, can't help you there but if I can think of something I'll let you know.

hels - just found this little verse I put with my other son for his 40th birthday -you could always change the first like

Now you’ve reached the age of 40
- I’ve done this for you
An ‘Everyday Survival Kit’
to help to see you through
In case you get those dark days
when things just don’t seem right
To remind you - at the end of each tunnel.
There’s always a light
So if you’re feeling gloomy ,or just a little sad
You’ll look at all these things

and know that life ain’t all that bad !

Hope you can read it ok............
