Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
A Girl’s Survival Kit
The ladies at church were putting a gift basket together for a friend who has been going through a rough time. I decided to make a “Girl’s Survival Kit” too add and filled it with all of her favorite things!
I bought this box at the hardware store and filled it up. I know she likes Take 5s, so I put some of those in there, along with more candy, gum, lip gloss, a notebook, nail polish, and some homemade earrings.
I think it turned out cute!

This is so simple and wonderful. And it has so many uses–holidays, birthdays, get well… I love this.
I’m going to change a few things and pack one up for my friend’s son (teen boy) for the holidays. I had no ideas for him. Thank you, kindly.
Brandy says
You’re welcome, Sarah! There would be so many fun things to put in here for a guy!
Diana W. says
Cute! Great idea and well executed!
Brandy says
Thanks Diana! I think I am going to make some mini versions of these for Christmas gifts for girlfriends. They are so fun to put together!

Brandy! It turned out way cute! I also love that there aren’t so many compartments…..you can fill it with a little bigger things. Looks great!
