My daughter cannot have a purse at school. A pad in plastic wrap will NOT hold up and stay clean in a bookbag. Even the idea is just nasty to me. We also put in some peronal cleansing cloths packets.
The second thing I am doing is using them to pour in lotion bars for your purse. I don't like in jars. They are in test and I don'thave any on hand to show. Theyare out for samples and testing.
The third thing is a woman's survival kit - a tiny sewing set - (needle, thread, scissors), a tiny tweezer, a tea bag, bandaid, neospirin packet, a tampon and there is still room for more items.
Lastly - a box for checker buttons. I a cross stitching a checkerboard fo my DD with a sheperdess theme and thegame pieces are buttons made like sheep. The lid will be cross stitched.
When I pull out the craft box I'll try to make the photos.
All the ideas sound reasonable.....EXCEPT that pad box idea!!! Seriously a HORRIBLE choice. The potential for serious embarrassment is HUGE!! You sew, why not make some tiny little soft and quiet cloth container. A clunky bright pink altoid tin is just BEGGING for trouble!
I think the altoids tin is a great idea. Little bags and pouches are just as likely to get nabbed and used as a way to embarrass someone. Jerks are jerks, so denying her something fun, functional and made by mom is pretty silly.
