    A Girl's Survival Kit

    Modified: May 15, 2020 · Published: Feb 7, 2011 by Brandy · This post may contain affiliate links.

    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! 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!
