A few years ago when I was deputy division commissioner I presented
these to the district commissioners. I put everything in a flower pot,
wrapped it with blue tissue and tied it with gold ribbon. I added the
tag "Guiding Keeps us all Growing - a Survival Kit for District
Commissioners" Each item was wrapped (if necessary) in saran wrap and
the tag added. I am sure you could add many different items. Please
send me suggestions. They were fun to make up and fun to give.
LIFESAVERS - To remind you of the many times others need help and we
need theirs.
COTTON BALL - For the rough roads, seek the cushioned support of your
family and friends.
RUBBER BAND - A reminder to stay flexible.
SWEET AND SOUR CANDY - To help you appreciate the differences in
others.
HAPPY FACE - Smiling not only increases your face value, it is
contagious.
CANDLE - To remind you to share your light with others.
BAND-AID - For healing hurt feelings, yours and someone else's.
ERASER - To remind you that everyday you can start with a clean slate.
