"Mother Who Knows" Survival Kit

I love giving survival kits. They can be gag gifts for a laugh, or more meaningful gifts for more serious occasions. I have done "teenage" survival kits, "new mother" survival kits, "calving season" survival kits,  "wedding day" survival kits and  "marriage" survival kits. This past week I went to a triple baby shower and the mom's each got a "mother who knows" survival kit. The kit included uplifting quotes on topics from treasuring their child to the importance of mothers. Here's what was in it:

I picked out quotes on mothering that were inspiring to me. I bought items that related to each quote and wrapped them separately. Each quote I put on a 3 x 5 corrugated cardboard that I distressed by ripping  and inking the edges. I put holes in the cardboard so it could be made into a book. Each quote was tied to the corresponding gift.

This is one of the gifts I purchased. I altered it by ironing on a CTR emblem....

and on the back I sewed on a ruffle. For the boys gift I purchased a hoodie and ironed on an emblem.

After all the packages were wrapped I put them in a bag and added a bow. I love using kraft paper for wrapping and kraft bags.

"Survival Kits" are well received and are unique and creative gifts to give.
