Part One: Desk Survival Kit
I came up with this!
I started off with an organizing box from the fishing tackle box section (this is where I found the best variety of containers at the best price - the ones in the crafting sections are so much more expensive for the same thing!!)
I decorated the top with scrapbooking paper and mod podged it on. I added a cute rub on too!
And then I filled it with all types of goodies that I might need at my desk at some point or another (my office is out in an industrial area, so if I were to need something, it wouldn't be a quick trip to run out and get it)
So what's all in my box of goodies?
Well, firstly, quick wardrobe fixes:
TIDE TO GO PEN (not pictured - it's already in my desk drawer, but will be added to the kit)
STICKY LINT ROLLER
Personal Care:
TRAVEL SIZE HAIRSPRAY
TRAVEL SIZE DEO
BURT BEES LIP BALM (I'm a super lip balm addict, I go crazy if I forget it!!!)
BLOTTING PAPERS - not pictured (I'm an oily skin person, so by mid-day I have a BP-like slick on my forehead-GROSS)
MIRROR COMPACT (not pictured)
COMB (not pictured)
Dental/Breath Helpers:
MINTS
GUM
DENTAL FLOSS
TOOTHBRUSH
TOOTHPASTE
Feminine Products
PADS
TAMPONS
Nail Care:
CLEAR NAIL POLISH
EMERY BOARDS
NAIL BRUSH (My nails are usually really short, and tend to get really dirty underneath, and it seems that a nail brush is the only way to deal with it!)
NAIL CLIPPERS (I actually found a little set with the 3 emery boards, nail brush and 2 sets of nail clippers for $2!!)
HANDSANITIZER (not pictured. I'm not a huge fan of this stuff because I believe in good old fashion hand washing, but I think it has it's place every now and then)
CRAZY MULTI-TOOL (I have no idea where I got this from, but I decided it would be best off in my desk kit. It has a cork screw, bottle opener, nail file, knife, saws that really aren't sharp at all, a screw driver, scissors... and all that other stuff that no one really knows what it is or what to use it for)
Disposables:
WET WIPES
BANDAIDS
Q-TIPS
COTTON BALLS (don't ask me what I intend to use these for, but it seemed like something I might want as I was gathering other things from the bathroom!)
TYLENOL
I'm considering adding some decongestants into here too
COUGH DROPS (not pictured)
SEWING KIT
SAFETY PINS (not pictured)
Being a ponytail girl I can't live without
HAIR TIES
BOBBY PINS
CANDY
So there you have it. Everything I think I might need (and way way more I'm sure!)
Do you have a stash at your desk? Did I miss anything that you think I should have? Let me know what you think!
I wish I could do this, but I have NO DRAWERS in my desk! Also I want those Kraft caramels...NOW!!!! So good!
ReplyDeleteYou totally missed the most IMPORTANT THING EVER: HUGE, GIANT, GOOEY Chocolate bar. I think that's the ONLY emergency stash I ever kept in my desk... :)
ReplyDeleteGood idea, though. I can't count the amount of times I had to run out for things, good thing I worked right by a few gas stations and around the corner from a walmart!
fantastic idea! my desk and workbag are where i store all this sort of stuff, but i love how neat and contained your is! blotting papers are my crack, i neeeeed them!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. Thinking it will be great for my daughter who is leaving home this year. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good idea and it looks so cute! Thanks for dropping by my blog. I'm going to have more of a look around yours!
