Default 40 year old survival kit

I need help filling a can for a 40 year old survival kit. Any suggestions?

I know there was a thread on what to put in paint cans but cannot find it. If anyone has the link please let me know.

I am thinking chocolate, and a pen and paper to write everything down that you always forget!

When I turned 30, my boyfriend (at the time) gave me a Viagra bottle filled with blue M&Ms, a single Depends diaper (yeah, loved that one! - especially since I opened it up at work), and hairdye.

Ben-Gay, Geritol or some other senior vitamins, and then something nice that you know they love.

My Dh turns the big 40 this year this is a great idea for him (he's a practical joker himself and loves this kind of stuff)! He is already having a hard time dealing with going "over the hill". Guess this will make him feel even better. ;) LOL Hope you don't mind if a CASE this idea!

Did one a couple years ago. Put Ben Gay, Prep H, Aspercreme, reading glasses, hearing aid batteries, support socks, folding cane, Mon-Sun pill box, hair dye, Tylenol PM, can of prunes, denture creme - can't think what else right now - but those come to mind.

Here is a good idea:
OK, I can not find the link! You need to get a black cotton bra and white iron-on letters...on the left cup iron on "We've fallen" and on the right cup iron on "and we can't get up!" Make sense?
and get her a cane and attach a bike horn.
THEN give her something really nice that you know she will love! Maybe some cool new stamps or pattern papers ;) wink, wink.
Inky Hugs.
Risa

Oh, don't forget the magnifing bifocal glasses from the dollar store. Perfect for a can! If you get her a cane and attach a bike horn, you will have to hang the can on it!

OOOPSSss! We read from right to left in America DUH!
Reverse the cups!
Right should say:
"we've fallen"
and Left should say:
"and we can't get up!"

OK, that is enough of that!

boost or ensure...
the new fossil fuel!
ha!
I had a lot of 'fossils'
(ancient rude geriatic crusty crotchety...ykwim!)
come into the restaurant I worked at,
they would order the special, share it 4 ways, bring their own canned drinks and fill up on coffee refils!
hence I called the drinks their fossil fuel.

cds that look like vinyl records...they make me laugh!

paper money
for us, that would be from before coins replaced the $1 or $2 bills
or silver dollars or 50cent pieces
from when they used to be a big deal , in the olden days...
(I used to get silver dollars for christmas, now if my ds, 4 doen't get a new dvd, retail value $25, he notices!LOL!
we get them from the library, but still...he had asked santa nicely!)

A magic mirror (a child's picture glued on top of the glass) so that she can remain forever young.
