Hi I was checking out this web site and found a really cute item called holiday survivor kit, it had jelly belly beans with a little saying. For the life of me I cannot find anything on it. Help thanks in advance Jude
Here is one I did last year and packaged them up in a small stamped box.
Holiday Stress Relief Kit
-A chocolate kiss to remind you that you are loved
-A match to light your fire when you feel burned out
-A Tootsie Roll to remind you not to bite off more than you can chew
-Smarties to help you on those days when you don�t feel so smart
-A starburst to give you a burst of energy on days you don�t have any
-Snickers to remind you to take the time to laugh, even at yourself
-A box to help keep it all together
-And most importantly, a candle to remind you that �you� brighten someone�s day
Christmas Survival Kit (using a paint can):
Fill the survival kit with chocolate, hot cider mix, an ornament, and a candle. Other cute ideas are bath salts, lotion, socks, and candy.
Winter Survival Kit (using a paint can):
Poem by Kay Winters:
It's just not funny
When your nose is runny;
You feel all soggy,
Hoarse and froggy.
Your throat is scratching;
The germs are hatching.
You know it's catching --
KERCHOOO!
Fill the can with "get well" supplies to help someone survive winter: chicken soup, a small bottle of orange juice, hot cocoa packets, mini marshmallows, herbal tea bags, a small jar of honey, cough drops, lip balm, and tissues.

Here's a Holiday Anti-stress kit message I found in a Paper Craft publication:
A Penny...so you will never say, "I'm broke"
An Eraser...so you can make all your mistakes disappear
String...to tie things together when they fall apart
A Rubber Band...to stretch yourself beyond your limits
Marbles...in case someone says you've lost yours
A Hug & Kiss.. to remind you that someone cares
I purchased a stackable snowman tin at Michaels for my friend for Christmas and couldn't think of what to put inside the three compartments. When I found this thread, I realized I could put the goodies in the middle compartment, then create a Coaster Mini Book and dedicate the purpose of each item for the kit on individual pages inside the book. This will be placed in the bottom compartment of the tin. The top, smallest compartment I placed a small box of ribbon assortment.
One of the things I like about this kit is how easy it is to put together. Some items I can find laying around the house, and for the candy I purchased in small bags, this way I will have plenty for making several kits!
I do have a question, though: does anyone have instructions for making a simple gift box for the kit?
