Care Package
 

Hi everyone I want to make a care package for 3 of my girlfriends for the spring break trip. i need some ideas. We are all going down to mexico and this is what i already have in there...

Bottled Water
Band-aids
Condoms (as a joke :))
Asprin
Sunscreen

Anything else that you guys think would be cute?? Thanks!

How about that new Alka-Seltzer hangover remedy?

Anti-diarrhia medicine?
Self-tanner? (to balance out the sunscreen)

disposable cameras ?
breathe mints/gum ?

two words:
 

Aloe vera gel in case they overdo the sun.

Condoms (for real)

Vitamin C/ NAC/ Alphalipoic acid combination . . EAS makes a good one.
(That combination prevents hangovers as well as most of the dehabilitating effects of hardcore alcohol consumption)

acidophilis the kind that doesn't need to be refrigerated (prevents food and water changes from making you sick)

Emergency 100 dollar Bill (to pay off Mexican Policeman. happened to a friend)

ephedrine (ripped fuels, stackers etc) for when the completely run out of energy.

I would suggest some spare sunglasses! I always lose mine when I go on vacation , either at the beach or at a restaurant or whatever. Maybe a phone card in case of an emergeny.

Are y'all going on a road trip or flying to Mexico??? I would suggest silly little travel games to pass the time. Other than that I would have to suggest everything that has already been suggested. Hope y'all have fun...I'll be stuck at work during my spring break. BLAH!!!!!!!! :(

Be careful with ephedrine...if anyone is on anti-depressants or any kind of MAO inhibitor medicine, ephidrine and all its generic forms (ephedra, metabolife, etc) can give ya a quick and fatal heart attack. My mom works at Kaiser, so I got the whole speech...but otherwise, some kind of caffeine would presumably work well. And safety pins. Someone always needs safety pins. And if you really want to go the distance, bring some alcohol wipes for cuts and scrapes, or some contact solution...you can use it to disinfect all kinds of things besides just contact lenses, any kind of cut or abrasion really (or piercing!). And a calling card!

LYSOL and the waterless antibacterial hand gel. You can get little
bottles at Walmart.

Good idea about the alcohol wipes-didn't know that about the lens solution! Learned something new!!! :)

- scented hand lotion
- Tums/Rolaids
- extra camera film
- extra batteries (cd players/walkmen are always sucking the life out of my batteries on trips!)

...and everything else mentioned!

Benadryl.....the external clear kind and the internal pill kind.

Why?

SAND FLEAS!!!!!!!!!!

:D

I would suggest taking your own bottled water.
