My 24 yr old cousin is moving into her first house, all by her self. I am going to get a toolbox and fill it with girlie stuff. So far, I have [ul] [li]Nail File - for nail emergencies[/li][li]Clear nail polish - for pantyhose emergencies[/li][li]Safety pins - for when a button pops off[/li][li]Baking Soda - for small grease fires[/li][li]An ice pack - for when she stubs her toe[/li][li]A fly swatter - for spiders and other bugs[/li][li]A mini bottle of vodka and OJ - for an emergency screw driver [/li][li]A pair of undies and a small box of Tide - kinda self explanatory[/li][/ul] I wanna keep it inexpensive, but please, make suggestions. The quirkier the better! ---

Heh. It would be a leetle expensive, but my first notion was a big box with a bale of polyester batting and several yards of cheap fabric. Label the box: “HOUSE WARMER: some assembly required.” I’ll tell you what your toolbox reminds me of – the little “newlywed kit” the county registrar gave us when we got our marriage license. Little sample sizes of mouthwash, laundry detergent, paper towels, and other crap we had been buying for years. Made us laugh. ---
