Description:

Ever been stranded without a hair tie? Suffer a paper cut and have no band-aid? Lips chapped without a chapstick in sight? No longer!

The idea of this swap is to create a purse-sized "emergency kit" for your partner, full of useful things to help them be ready for anything.

There are TONS of examples online, such as:

This kit should be tailored to suit your swap partner's needs and likes, in their favorite color if possible. If they have kids, their kit will be different than if they don't, for example

The kit can go into an Altoids tin, makeup bag, or some other small bag that can fit into the typical purse. You awesome crafters out there could even make your own holder with individual compartments or something if you'd like.

Some ideas for contents: * Lip balm * Band-aids * Hair ties * Safety pins * Buttons * Nail files * Hand sanitizer * Hand wet wipes/baby wipes * Pocket tissues * Aspirin (check profiles) * Mini sewing kit * Chewing gum * Breath mints * Ear plugs * Floss * Neosporin * Q-Tips

Please feel free to comment below if you think of any other very useful items you think should be included!

The idea here is to be ready to handle life's little emergencies.

Please include at least 7 items in your kit. The money you spend will depend upon your partner's needs and what items you include.

Thanks for looking!

This one is a little different.....but I always carry a small spray air freshener in my purse. Why? When my daughter was potty training she always said theat the bathrooms in the stores didn't smell very good and she wouldn't use them So, I started carrying the air freshener, we would spray and she would go. She's almost 27 now, but I still carry the air freshener because there's sometimes I can't stand a bathroom!!!
