So I'm a planner. I like to think ahead and have a plan in place. My co-worker is the same and when her daughter was a senior in high school she started getting together somethings for her to take with her to college. The typical stuff like bedding and stuff but she also got together a medicine/first aid kit. She said that young people just don't have the wisdom of life to do something like this for themselves. As in they wouldn't think to buy band-aids unless they cut themselves really bad and have to drive to Target to buy a box with their bloody finger. I thought this was a really good idea and I also think it would be a really nice gift to give or receive because when you're getting married you're not thinking about the next time you might get sick. This maybe not the most "aww"-worthy gift but very practical one (which I like).
So here are some medicine cabinet/first aid kit ideas:
- band-aids (technically bandages), different sizes
- cotton balls
- rubbing alcohol/antiseptic
- antibiotic ointment
- Q-tips
- gauze with tape
- cold medicine
- thermometer
- Alka Seltzer
- TUMS/antacid
- Advil/ibuprofen
- Tylenol/acetaminophen
- Tiger Balm (is rumored to cure cancer...just kidding)
