Child Care Provider Survival Kit

[lil*miss*canadian]

I am putting together a couple of gifts for two of my closest friends and since we are all child care providers, I thought it would be kind of cute to do a survival kit.

I've done up two lunchboxes and now I'm just trying to think of some stuff to put in them.

1. Coffee is a MUST!
2. Earplugs - haha (I'm getting DH to bring home a couple sets)

What else??

I want it to be cute and kind of funny. Any ideas??

How about hand sanitizer and/or hand lotion for the winter?

How about a small (travel size) pack of baby wipes. I also am a childcare provider and you NEVER want to be out of those!!

Oh, and Tylenol for obvious reasons. Maybe some lolipops for bribery.

THis is a great idea....I'm also a childcare provider. Here are some things that we/I go through OFTEN:

stickers
maybe a gift card to a teacher store or bookstore
chocolate
bath stuff (Calganon....take me away!!)
Hand lotion
little post it note thingys
chocolate
coffee and hand sanitizer are definate musts

Um..that's all I can think of now...oh wait, did I mention chocolate?? :mrgreen:
