I love every bit of it.
That is such a sweet idea! : )
it is so cute and will help my daughter at her sleep over! 🙂
Its a type of candy!!
I gave this to my friend and she loved it then I came back and did it again for my other friend. I know she will like it, too.
a band aid is a bandage that helps stop bleeding and a life saver is a candy with a hole in the middle but i love this!
You mean a plaster not a bandage. And anyway it’s a metaphor. You’ve taken it literally!
I gave this to my friend and she loved it! I also gave her another version of this. Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic idea. We have been a lot closer since I gave it to her. She can’t stop talking about it and thanks me every day for it, when she should be thanking you. This is so cool! Got to go, I have to make 10 more for my other friends. XD
This is a really cute idea
whats a life saver????????????
really? it’s a type of candy..
I can’t wait until I give this to my best friend.
This is really cool….
this is an amazing idea, so sweet!! when i gave it to my friend she gave me the biggest hug ever.
lol this website is awesome i gave my bezzie this survival kit last year and she loved it we laughed for about 6 hours xxxxxxx
love this!!!!
love it!:)
♥♥♥ I love this!! ♥♥♥
This project is adorable!!! I cried 🙂 I love this!!! <3
that is so cute and such a good idea
You have a lot of the same things in each sirvival kit bring new items into this otherwise It is fantastic I put down my mom yesterday and I am making it up with items from all the survival. KitsO
Such a lovely idea. Going to offer to my French friends.
Thank You Soooooooooooooo Much!!!
This is awesome……
Best idea ever!!!
This is really fun, cheap and easy to do..also check out the other survival kits
I think this is a GREAT idea! Can’t wait to give one to my best friend!
this is the cutest thing my niece will love it!
this is a cool idea. going to have to do it sometime.
If you looking for a present to give to close friend this is perfect, although it is simple it is always much appreciated.
Really good idea but i don’t like the eraser idea because if you lose a friends trust its really hard to gat it back-1 out of 5 times can be replaced
These are great thoughtful gifts . Inexpensive but not ‘cheesy’ .
nice gift idea to a friend who will be out of the country…!
very sweet gotta make it for a very special friend 🙂
I think this is a great idea I am making several to hand out to guest at our church on our Family and friends Day program
Really cute!! Thank you for the idea 🙂
Totally Awesome
this is nice but some of the things on the list confuse me. what are a band aid and life saver???? i live in the uk so have no idea!!!
love it so cute….will share w my friends…
THIS REALLY CUTE AND I LIKE IT
its a gr8 idea…thx 2 d one who suggested and came up wid dis one!!!awesome:)superlike
my freind and i can not wait to try it out!!!!!!
This is really cute!!! Thanks for the great idea
its cool but shouldn’t we explain the meaning of these things to our friends so that they could understand?
I did this one Christmas for people in the office I wanted to recognize, but not start a tradition of exchanging gifts. Everyone loved it. Nobody thought it was cheesy.
This is suuuuuper cute 🙂
This gift is very creative. In our economy this is very helpful for Christmas. You can buy this stuff for like 10 bucks at the dollar store and make 20 bags!!! Thank you for this gift idea!!!:)
this ia a great project to give to a freind when going through tough times! 🙂
Sooooo great that is such a good survival kit of reminders.
so cool love it
Aww! How cute! I think this is a wonderful projects for best friends. I can’t wait to do it!
I think that this would mean alot to my friends, but i think that it could also be something that people think is rubbish, but i think its real sweet xxx
CHEEZYYY
BUT SOME ARE GOOD. I LIKE TOOT PIK AND LITE SAVER
ew some of these items are realllyyyy cheesy
Loved this idea and will adapt it for use with a group of women experiencing low confidence and self-esteem.
i havent try these yet but it looks like all my friends with LOVE IT and im 11
What a sweet idea! Just reading through the list of ‘ingredients’ brought fantastic memories of great friends. I’m anxious to start a series of these with my daughter for her friends, too. Call it “friend cement” if you will… <3 Great crafting, y'all!
I think this is really cute. The few that thought it to be “cheesy” or “stupid” may need to find out what REAL “Friendship” is.
AWESOME
“LIKE”
Myself and one of my best friends were born ten days apart in June. I can’t wait to give her this! =0)
i should of thought of that I LIKE THAT
Love it! Gorgeous….
This is awesome!
This is beautiful and so true. Thank you!
OMG…I love this…can’t wait to give it away:))
very corny…my friends would just laugh
Me and my best friend made each other ‘mystery kits’ last christmas because we wanted to be all cool and mysterious, so they contained
coffee
black dress
redlipsticks
bath stuff
20 B&H cigarettes
and some dark sunglasses 🙂
but this idea is kinda cute
I love this!!! I am going to make this for my friends to remind them how much they mean to me as friends! Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much for this idea! I love it!!!
so cool!
Nice work!
soooooooooooooo precious
Absolutely heartwarming and easy items to obtain.
I am going to make this for my boyfriend… ha ha… he’s my best friend.. but i have no job so this would be a nice little something for him to have.. this is so cute.. 😀
what a wonderful idea, thanks! 🙂
I luv this project because I forgot tomorrow is the last day I’ll see my friend before I go to Kentucky for Christmas

Great idea to send to my friends interstate
This is really sweet. I’m using it for all of my friend for christmas!!!

Aww! Cute. Hope to make it soon.
aw thats sweet . but stupid
I sooo love this! I’m going to make one! So simple but very meaningful.
wonderful
i want to try to make this 🙂
i think its cute but my room is overflowing with stuff lik this 🙁 i would love to give one but know in my head that the person i gave it to would be like “Oh no! Not more useless stuff!” or maybe thats just how i think…..
aw, that’s sweet =)
Aw… So cute! 😀 I’m gonna make this and probably add some other stuff to it.
Maybe a little water bottle so it’ll rinse out the bad words ur gonna say to ur friend. ok i know that was pretty dumb….
i dont really get it
sorry but I just dont get this one…
People will probly go on at me now
I’m sure you guys think its great!
But I just dont see whats so speciel…
That’s so cuuute! I am so making one! It’ s very simple, but very special.
This is so cute, I am gonna giver one to my friends at the end of my final school year.
OH MAH MAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If some one gave this to me i think i might cry a little!
Friendship is very important to me! (along with music)
>.<
aww that is so cute i think i am going to make that and give it to my best friend
I made this as a side gift for a friend and she loved it!!
I don’t get the point of doing what it says!
THEESE ARE SO CUTE THEY ARE A PERFECT REINDER TO MT BEST FRIEND AND I WHEN WE GET IN A FIGHT AND THEY ARE CUTEE
using this as a birthday gift for my best friend.
this is a really cool craft and a good idea
this is awsome
my friend and I sell these at the local craft fair! They’re a big hit!
Great for someone who dislikes you!
(If they say its retarded just smile and walk away.)
Im using this craft for graduation gifts for my friends tommorow!!!
This is great!
this is a pretty good idea-for someone who has friends
this craft got me and my friend back together
I think it is best idea that our best friends will come to know our feelings that how important the friends are to each other and it is cute too i am going now to make it 🙂
I really love this craft! It was really easy so i was able to actually MAKE it. The ideas were really creative too!
Priceless!
looked like fun so im going to try it with my friend when she stays the night tomorrow!
QUOTE- “if i gave it to my friend she’d probably call me retarded and roll her eyes”
That would be kind of mean of your friend. If that’s your idea of friendship, you two kind of need one of these.
I think it’s cute and a good idea. It will make someone smile.
this is very cute.
It was cool
awwww that is soo cute!! <3
What a great idea. I go away with a group of friends and wanted to make something for each of them, since this will be our 20th year doing this! We have practiced doing just this, the items are just soooo appropriate.
hello!may i know what item is life savers? pls tell me thank you
I am moving and this will be a great way for me and my friend to remember each other by.
my grandmother used to make a variation of this for me when i was little
I Think that this would be a good vraft for like teenage friends they can do it to gether then do somthing with it after to hide it till they need it(:
I did this with all the girls in my family. We also each wrote 1 thing we loved about each person. We gave that to each person and everyone had nice things about them in their jars. We used old jars and decorated them with crepe paper, ribbons and such
that si a great idea, im just about to get off the p.c to go and make ont!!!!! thanks for the idea
I think this idea is great!!! Its easy and cute!!! =)
This is such a cute idea! I want to make one for my freind. Thanks for the idea.
it is okay
If only there was a point… if you were sad a bandage woudn’t help!
great= will make serveral
A lovely starting point for a friendship gift – easy to add to and personalise.
i think this was sooo cool and that i will make one for all of my friends
Awsome!
Awesome!!!
good
I luv it!!! Please come up with more good ideas like this!!!!!!
Yes. This is sooo mushy! (what if you had a friend whos a emo….)
i think it is kinda cute……
I really like this idea no skills required
its nice FOR A MOM
I dont like the sticky tape or tooth pick idea cuz with the sticky tape its sort of saying that your friend hardley has anything good to say and the toothpick can be offensive aswell. all the stuff in there is just everyday stuff.
i think i will make one for each of my friends. but i do not like the stuff to put inside that much =P
I just love the whole site! I was looking for a tea cosy pattern (I’m British!) and I’ve been on here an hour getting ideas for next Christmas. Have bookmarked site
Great idea!
totally cool. might give to friend
there needs to be more items!!!
honestly if you were upset if you had gotten this or your friend would call you a retard etc then neither of you are worthy of it..this is such an awesome idea…i’m doing this..and i know my friend would cry real people appreciate this type of thing
Oh My me and my best friends are together so much we call each other sister. So when I found thi9s is just had to make it for her!
luv it
This is a stupid idea.Wonder where it came from…It would be better if someone replace the items with something nice.I won’t like it if my friend bought it for me too.It’s really stupid to sent junk to your friend.
that is so cool im making one for my friend right now
so cute yet so original..i’m going 2 give one 2 my bff this christmas
too corny
cool!
it was a little different but cute!
I love it.
Love this one
I have been loking EVERYWHERE for an activity for a guide camp. I think I just found it!!!
sooo awesome but i dont really think my friend is into these types of gifts. She would probably call me a retard
made it for my best friends birthday
I love this, what a great idea to put a smile on someones face. Love it!
Great activity! We did this for a women’s night activity to pass out to our friends and everyone thought it was great!
Cute Idea!
I thought it was very cute for the people in your life that have everything
Love it 🙂
i love that!!
I love this idea, I may do this with my Brownie unit
excellent idea. something I will definetly do (sorry for the spelling mistakes, I’m French)
awesome. No, beyond awesome.
LOVED IT…HAVE MADE 10.
I really like it!
dude that is so cool!!
im not really agreeing wih the guest that said its kinda sappy!
Its the thought that counts not the gift.Okayy!
Omg.
this would work great as like a christmas gift!!! =]
Instead of using just a bag, I used a Canning Jar, and decorated it with her name.
It’s a nice thought but I don’t really understand why you would want to give your friend a toothpick. Also it might be a litte rude, I mean if you already have a good friend ship going it might seem like it is not good enough. It just sounds kinda sappy.
this is a very meaningful craft i will defenintly be doing it sometime
i love this idea and i am making one for me and all of my friends to share and it will be kept at school will us forever and everyone will put in a picture of themselves
this was excellent, i cant wait 2 make them 4 my friends! this is so great!!!
so sweet!yet suttle
I was reading down through the ratings and several of you said that you wished you could make some thing to put in the kit. Some things you could do are make a paper smiley face or make the candle or put something in it you know your friend likes.
I will use it in my Family and Consumer Sciences class, just to know what friendship is.
Marta from Puerto Rico.
i love it
so sweet…
like awesome:)
thanks.
i like the idea! it could make an awesome birthday gift!
OMG!!! that is such a good idea!!! im gonna make a survival kit for my friends and teachers!!! EXCELLENT!!!
kinda cheesy… if i gave it to my friend she’d probably call me retarded and roll her eyes, but i do like it
great tip
its a great idea
boring
I think this is a great progect. I will make two to give to my friend, and for myself. Nice thinking!
I’ve seen a similar friendship kit that also included a hershey kiss and hershey hug
Cute!
My best friend is moving and we can only communicate via email and over the phone. Lately we have been getting very emotional and this will be deep and lighthearted at the same time. I is perfect!
I love the idea
so so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love it so much
i really like this idea, i am making one for me and my friend. awsome idea
if you dont have nothing nice to say dont say it at all!!!!!!!This site is amazing and me and my friend have rough patches and this willfix it all up!This site is fabulous and my favorite.
Seriously? (-_-)zzz
So much fun
what a lovely way to show people we care
id rather eat it the candy and shoot the rubber band at my brother
thats a good idea.. but if you could make something to put in it, that would make it better
My Girl Guides had A blast making these!
That’s such a great idea! I love it!
Great ! But would be better if there was somthing you could make to put in the bag. Still a great idea.
loveit
i love this, very nice little gift idea..
oh my gosh this site is awesome this was just wha i was looking for (only 11) me & my friend allways have little fitsknow i have a makeup gift.
I love this craft! I think it is so cute and a great way to show your friendship.
it would be nice to see more of a variety of kits for all sorts of occasions. can you make some more survival kits?
we did this with 10 year olds….it was great! by 10 you have been up and down with friends….it really made a bond that day with some of the girls that didn’t feel as close to some of the others!i wouldn’t reccomend this project for under 9!
Loved it!
So Cute!
I thin its cool will make one for my friend!!!!!
i love it i think it is such a good idea not just for friend but for sisters too!
This was the best craft when you are bored or even to cheer a friend up
Would this be a nice idea for 13-15 year olds??
my daughter and her friends loved this it was great and easy
I like this one, I’ve seen it at craft shows and I think it is a cute little gift.
I am 24 year sister of 5 little sisters and i can’t wait to tell them about this wonderful idea! and yes i will be useing it also. Thanks!
This craft is sooo cute! I’m going to use it for my BFFL. I LoVe this site! Keep up the great work!

cute! i love the reasons i would love to do this again!
I teach a dance class to many little girls in the neighboorhood ranging from 3 to 11 years old. I have made it a little different this year and i will be doing a craft class. I will surely use this idea becuase i think that friendship is very important!
I am 11 and think this is a great idea. My friend I have this really good friendship, but this is the kind of thing I would make with here during a sleepover!!!!
This is such a great friendship gift. My best friend loves gifts from the heart. I will be giving her this as a stocking stuffer this year. Thank you for the wonderful idea!! Amy-Tx

You might also want to try putting memory photos in there to remember the good times when times are bad
I can’t wait to make this kit for my friends!!!!!!

its really sweet, my friend gave me a friendship bag like that 4 christmas, it was really nice, ecxept it had a teddy bear 2 hug 2 remind urself that sum1 cares about u. it was so nice.
i thought this was very cute
I’ll be presenting a “KIT” to the members of our group at the A.G.M with appreciation and love.
I like it – a good present.
that is such a cute and great idea! sometimes its hard to come up with gifts for my family ( im only 14) so its really great when i can make them stuff instead of buying!… thank you SSSOOOOO much!!!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
I LoVE ThIs SiTe!!!
My daughter and I have really enjoyed looking at this site for craft and crochet ideas. Sometimes we just need to see some things others do and it seems to refresh our brains and ideas, but it is harder to do for the boys.
fanta[stick]ly cute 🙂
I love this idea and will use it for sure…Thanks so much!!!!!
We’ve used these for staff appreciation too.
its seems like you are making a comment to your friend that she is doing something wrong.
Hey now take it from the list and use the Zip: To zip your lips when you have nothing good to say. Great idea to remind people what is really important in life.
why do u need a picture dude? put the things in a bag, dont u know what a toothpick would look like ?
This has already been posted as the Guardian Angel Kit.
great idea
