Ideas please; Leaving present survival kit

My boss is leaving work at the end of next week. Basically her hubby has got a big new job and she no longer has to work so she's giving it up. Her kids are at school.

I've been teasing her about what she will do with all her spare time and wanted to make a survival kit.

Only ideas so far are
  • Take A break Magazine
  • Egg timer (because she'll have a lot of time on her hands)
Any help gratefully received.

    An eraser, so you can make all your troubles disappear.
    A penny, so you never need to say you are broke. Or for when you haven't got two to rub together
    A marble, in case someone says you've lost all of yours.
    A rubber band, to stretch yourself beyond your limits.
    A string, to tie things together when everything falls apart.
    Hugs and kisses to remind you that someone, somewhere, cares. (This only really works if you can get "Hershey's Kisses") :)

    HTH..

    Thanks ladies - I guess retirement type things would work well.
    Hope I can "retire" before I'm 40 - just need to find me a sugar-daddy.
