For the third year, I am posting a Christmas Photo A Day on my blog....
Today, I have this image, a gift I made....The tissue cover instruction actually links at my blog (for some reason it doesn't here, but there were instructions somewhere where I was able to make them in bulk...)

Last year, we were all Swine Flu crazy! I made up these cute little Chinese food boxes full of ‘Flu Fighters’ and gave them to co-workers, friends and family.

Ingredients, as listed on the tag (with a clip art image of a pig Smile)

* Blistex
* Chicken Cup-a-Soup
* Cough drops
* Tylenol
* Emergen-C powder and those drink pouches for water bottles with either Gatorade powder or some other flavor with electrolytes
* Anti-bacterial hand cleaner in a travel size
* Tissues with a nice little fabric cover I made
* and of course, MEDICINAL chocolate *(Hershey Kisses)

Hoping everyone has a HEALTHY Christmas season this year!!!

Thanks everyone! Sorry I posted and ran, I was walking out the door this morning and thought that you gals would like this idea!

The Chinese food containers are around $1 at Michaels ...we get them in for almost every holiday!

This gift really was a hit last year...its like a hug in a box for the kids off at school too, isn't it?
