Kits for everything!

[rjk]

Has anybody else noticed these little kits for different things? They come in a box about three inches square, and have absolutely minimal equipment for various activities. There's one for growing a sunflower: a little pot, a bag of soil, a few miniature-sunflower seeds, and a small book on how to do it. There's the origami kit: some sheets of coloured paper and a little book of patterns. DAVEW0071's daughter Sakura got a belly-dancing kit after Zyada got her to dance at the Ribfest: a set of zils and (of course) a book.

What other kits do we need?

I thought a Sex Ed kit might be fun: a couple of condoms, a bottle of lube, and a micro-edition of the Kama Sutra.

Any other suggestions?

We got emergency dorm kits my freshman year in college. They were gender-specific, we found from comparing with the guys down the hall. The girls got shampoo samples, a toothbrush, pamphlets on STDs, and maxi-pad and tampon samples. The guys got a few toiletries, plus condoms. I thought that was a little unfair.

I'm pretty sure the sex kits already exist. I've seen them in Chinese takeout looking boxes. Mostly a joke though--they come with a latex glove, that in case of emergency can have fingers cut off to make mini-condoms.

Uhhm, I don't think that is what the glove is for
