Senior Citizens Survival Kit


You can whip this gift up for under an hour and buy most items at the dollar store. My dad is turning 60 and I wanted some sort of gag gift to give him.  There aren't many homemade gifts out there for guys that I think my dad would use or any man for that matter.  I know he won't use most of the items in this bag, but I only spent $18 including the bag and tissue paper.  So here's your shopping list now head on out to the dollar store.
1. Marbles - for when you lose yours.
2. Spray starch- Wrinkle Remover - for when the iron isn’t enough
3. Energizer Batteries - to help keep you going and going (had to get these from wal-mart)
4. ACT II popcorn - welcome to another stage of your life. Play your part well
5. Socks - Relax!  Sit back, kick up your feet! You've earned it!
6. Puzzle - Life is a Puzzle Just in case you haven't figured out the "big" picture, here is one you can.
7. Antacids - Laughter is the best medicine but when that isn't enough, try the medicine cabinet
8. Life Savers Mints - Senior Moments memory loss mints
9. Arthritis & Sport - to soak your old bones
10. A jar of dirt - To remind you that you are now older than dirt. (just grab and old jar and fill it from the yard or potting soil)
You can make this as cute as you want with ribbons or fancy cut outs on your circut, but I was in a hurry so I just used some labels I had around the house and ran them through the printer.  Simple, quick and will serve a purpose as a small gag gift.

  1. Sometime, people feel it difficult to choose the food to enter in Survival Kits. Normally, dehydrated food is excellent as emergency food for your survival kit because they come in small, compact portions. They are convenient to pack and easy to prepare. You just need hot water, even thou cold water will work just fine.
