Gift ideas - "kits" for the practically minded

Tweet

As we draw close to holiday season once more , I find myself thinking about gifts for people.  Well alright, so it's not really close to the holiday season, but still, I like buying gifts ahead, far far ahead.  So I (personally) am into buying holiday gifts now or earlier.  Here are some cool gift ideas.  They don't apply to anyone who I buy gifts for, but perhaps they will apply to people on your gifts list.  Though *** Keep in mind *** THESE GIFTS MAY WELL WORK BEST FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO VERY PRACTICAL.  So some would love it, and others would likely not really care for it.  "Survival Kits" Kit #1 )  May be ideal for someone moving into their own place for the first time.  Pack a plastic tote box with items like: bandages, salve, anti-itch cream, over the counter medicines for common ailments, heating pad, ice pack  Kit #2 )  Best for someone moving into their own place for the first time  Cleaning / housekeeping supplies.  Pack a plastic box with items such as : bathroom cleaner, kitchen cleaner, disposable and re-useable gloves, dish soap, laundry soap,  glass cleaner, furniture polish, Air sprays  and if your budget allows - a vacuum cleaner, a broom, a mop etc.  Kit #3)  Best for a new car owner.  Also best if you have some car knowledge to impart to them.  Fill a large plastic tote with items such as - quart of oil, pre-mixed anti-freeze, jumper cables, a small selection of tools, disposable gloves, brake fluid, extra car fuses.  For the latter 2 items you should know what their car takes, as different cars take different fuses and sometimes different brake fluids.   I have received many items that fit #1 and #2 and received #3 from my parents, and I gotta say it is really helpful as all of those items cost money and if you are just getting your start in a new place or being a new car owner they not only count up into a surprising amount of money but also time of going to buy it, and experience of figuring out that "Oh!   It is really good to have XYZ on hand".   Hope you can use it for some people on your list and that they enjoy it.
