To put this together, I basically went through what we have and use at home and bought the same for John. I went primarily with store brands and small quantities, and checked expiration dates as I was buying. I am sure whatever you would put in yours would vary, but here is a (non-comprehensive) list. I didn’t write everything down and don’t want to take it out now. :-) And, I have a couple personal things I added that I don’t feel like sharing on the internet. I recommend starting a list and just adding to it over the course of a few weeks as you think of things. Inside, I also have a note saying that he can share the contents of this box as needed and I will replace any time.
- Bandaids
- Neosporin
- Cleaning wite/spray
- Gauze
- Rolled bandage
- Tylenol
- Advil
- Cold meds
- Cough drops (our favorite are Honees, if you’ve never tried them)
- Pepto
- Narcan (one of my closest friends is passionate about educating parents on this and I am so thankful she is. I do not in any way condone drug use but you NEVER KNOW when you might be in a position to save a life.)
- Thermometer
- Medical tape
- Scissors
- Tweezers
- Latex gloves
- Cold pack
- Hand sanitizer
- Cotton balls

I have a set of these clear, stackable storage bins for him. I also use them at home and love them.
John has been so appreciative for and excited about these gifts. He told me on receipt of this one that he was already thinking about how he would have to put something like this together and how much he feared it would cost. <3
This is starting to get hard – not knowing what kind of accommodations he might be in next year! Going to have to put my thinking cap on for November.
