Emergency Kits

Ever since I first saw emergency kits, I've loved the concept of them! So I decided to create one for each of my girls and for myself. I got almost all of the contents for the kits at either Dollar General, Family Dollar or Dollar Tree. Don't ever forget about your dollar stores ladies, they are so helpful for things like this!!

I found these cute and oh so handy collapsible storage boxes at one of the dollars stores. And then made the labels for the lids myself.

  1. When I worked in the bridal industry, I encouraged all of my brides to have alcohol wipes with them, because alcohol is quite similar to dry cleaning solution -- so if you (or some careless passerby) spills anything on your dress, the alcohol wipe will take care of it really well :)

  7. Those kits are so nice and very helpful. This is really a cute emergency kit. Everything that is needed is really there! I must say that the safety pins are one of the things you would want to have during events like weddings.
