Stress Relief Gift Bags

I'm in the middle of sewing fleece/flannel blankets for children to sell for extra money since I've become unemployed, so this year's ideas will have to be creative. In addition to creative, I have to mail many gifts as my little brother and his delightful family moved to Florida. If I didn't have a job when they moved, I might have followed. Alas, its too late for that. Since I have a big thing for the stocking tradition of Christmas, its my favorite, I have decided that stuffing stockings for friends is a great Christmas idea. I can't say all that's going into them, but there are small inexpensive things that fill stockings pretty well. One thing I'm putting in is a stress-relief kit, or a small 'care package.' One was created for me as part of a group I participated in and it still touches me. I wish to touch others this way. So, I'm taking the scraps from the blankets I'm making, and I'm sewing flannel pouches with drawstrings and filling them. What do you put into a 3"x5" bag? All sorts of things: lip balms, cuticle cream, foot cream(tubes under 4"), small hand lotions, etc...or you turn them into an "I care/stress relief" kit and you put in the following: 1) A Band-Aid for life's boo-boos. (This is where you splurge on the peanuts band-aids, and your kids, if you have them, will thank you.) 2) An eraser-To erase your mistakes. 3) A penny-Heads up--For some positive thoughts/thinking 4) A string--for when you are at the end of your rope-you know the saying, tie a knot and hang-on. 5) A lifesaver candy-For when you need to be rescued. 6) A Hershey's hug-for when you need a hug 7) A Hershey's kiss-to kiss it and make it feel better 8) A Marble-For when you feel like you've lost yours. 9) A Bell-To help you hear the Christmas angels messages 10) A sucker--For when you feel life is being sucked out of you. These are only a small sampling of what you can put into this bag, but they do stay small. I'm including tea bags, for when we get into hot water, that's when we really learn how strong we are. So, if you get one of these from me, know that I've been thinking of you. If you don't it means I've been thinking of you in other ways. If you didn't get one, and you really want one, go make one and make one for someone else while you're at it.
