12 Days of Gift-mas- Gift #6

Hey everyone, I`m excited to be here at Darling Doodles today!

I`m Sarah & I blog over at Crafting and Creativity.

I was trying to come up with something to give a friend from church for Christmas. 

She has older kids & teenagers & spends lots & lots of time driving kids here and there.

So I thought a little kit of the "car essentials for mom" would be fun & something useful. 

Here's what I came up with...

My items all ready to go...

Mom's Survival Kit 

{for the car}

 Contents...

• chapstick
• hand sanitizer
• kleenex
• band aids
• tylenol
• hand lotion
• wet wipes
• hair elastic
• post-its & pen
• throat lozenges
• mints
• nail clippers
• chocolate

I found the little cosmetics bag at Walmart for around $7, and everything fit inside, except the chocolates. So I just put those on top, then tied the ribbon around and added the bow with some hot glue.

I left the tag that came on the bag & just added patterned paper on both sides. Then made a simple label for one side & put a little distressing ink around the edges.

It's a pretty simple gift, but I think any busy mom "chauffeuring" her kids around so much would appreciate it! :)

I hope to see you at Crafting and Creativity real soon!

Brieanna, thanks so much for having me today!!

Okay, this idea is beyond great.  I think my favorite part is how she reused the tag that already came on the bag and covered it in paper.  How simple, but I never would have thought of it!  I love the whole thing!
