My OOT Bags~ the big hits and the things that weren't used

[merocket59]

Kelleylove- that is such a good idea, My cousins in Ireland and I visit each other and are always finding new colloquialisms that the other doesn't know, it is fun to "translate" in the same language!

 

Saraece- I love the mini sharpie idea, maybe I'll just do that and write the first note and let others replace it! Thanks for the idea!

This is a wonderful thread! Thank you to everyone. There are things here that I never even thought of. I just love these boards!!!

Very helpful JUSTUSTWO, thank you for your input as well. I'm sure your bags will be used more than you thing

I am posting this on several threads so as many people looking can get some. I found some travel size first aid kits that have a little of everything but triple antibiotic cream for $1.10 each. They also sell the individual triple antibiotic creams for cheap, which I also bought.

 

The name of the online store is First Aid Monster and the kits can be found at

J & J DISPOSABLE FIRST AID KIT FOR CUTS AND SCRAPES Personal First Aid Kits

 

Once I get them, I am going to put our logo and some sayings on the plastic box to personalize them. I am also going to make the box a recovery, oops and ouchie kit, I plan on adding shout wipes, Excedrin, and Immodium to them to cover a little bit of everything.

Those travel kits from J & J disposable can also be found in stores! I know Target, CVS and other drug stores have them in their travel section for a dollar as well- and you won't have to pay shipping!

I agree with everyone; knowing what worked well and not so well in the OOT bags is very helpful. Being new to the forum, I have only just started to think of these things, but I have debated as to which kind of OOT bag will be most useful for guests so as to not be wasteful (tote or durable paper bag). I also think creating a DIY Spanish translation book/handout will be something we will attempt. I'm looking forward to hearing more from the veterans on this forum.
