gift idea- Mom's Survival Kit

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! :)
