Hi All!
I will be giving gifts to 5 mothers this year (my Mom, my mil, my
sister, my sil and my aunt). i will be giving each one a “mom’s
daily survival kit” (a take off of shirley maclaine’s daily survival
kit which was published in an interview article i read).
i bought nice, bright colored gift bags at party city for 34 cents
each. Each bag will contain the following items along with the
printed explanation of each 🙂 Most of the items I already had
around the house, but I did buy the kisses at an after-Easter sale
and bought a large pack of glue sticks for about $1.50 at Walmart to
use for the glue part.
mom’s daily survival kit
***a toothpick to remind you to pick out the good qualities in others.
***a rubber band to remind you to be flexible; things may not always
go the way you want, but they always work out.
***a band-aid to remind you to help heal hurt feelings, yours or
someone else’s.
***a pencil to remind you to list your blessings and the eraser to
remind you that everyone makes mistakes and it’s ok.
***glue stick to remind you to stick with it! if you do, you can
accomplish anything!
***a mint because you’re worth a mint!
***a candy kiss to remind you that everyone needs a kiss or hug each
day (especially children).
***a tea bag to remind you to take time for yourself…you’ve earned
it!
hth!
