Travel Kits: A Simple
Way to Bless Others
Instead of gritting your teeth and deciding
you’re just going to survive that long trip to Grandma’s
house next week or that hour-long, monthly visit to the
orthodontist’s office, the author challenges you to
demonstrate a little love, ingenuity, and organization by
making a travel kit—a simple way to bless others!
She has an understanding of making travel kits for a variety
of friends and family for many occasions—and she is
ready to share her expertise with you!
We define “travel”
as: to go from place to place, or to go on a journey.
And a “kit” is defined as: a set of things for
use together.
So a “travel
kit” is a set of things for use together,
ideal for traveling from place to place or on any journey.
The “together”
part is the key. The items can be related to one
another, or perfect for use by a family together, or may
be many different things that come together to represent
an entire family and their unique interests. But every way
you look at it, travel kits bring
people together. Travel kits make wonderful gifts!

Travel kits are a “blessing in a box”—or
bucket, or bag, or basket—tied up with ribbons and
bows! Or even tied up with colorful shoelaces!

“Families who travel with kids
have a challenge to keep everyone riding along happily
down the road. Cranky kids are no fun! Happy kids
are LOADS of FUN, and family road trips are wonderful
when kids ride along contented and busy doing something
that entertains them. Travel Kits: A Simple Way to
Bless Others is a new E-Book from The Old Schoolhouse®
Magazine offering loads of information on how to put
together a neat and effective tool. There
are suggestions for everyone to make road trips and
any kind of sitting experience FUN! . . . Anywhere
that a child has to be still and quiet in contentment
is a good application!”

Travel kits aren’t just for travel
by car or van, but also for passengers on airplanes, trains,
buses, ocean liners, or any other way people choose to travel!
They are just as useful for situations where sitting patiently
for extended periods is necessary, for any age.
Look at what a travel kit can do for the
person blessed by receiving it . . .
|
How about keeping a fussy 3-year-old
happy and quiet? |
|
Would you like to make tummies content
between stops? |
|
Perhaps a shared game happily played by siblings is
your desire. |
|
Is it possible to build a little learning
into the journey? |
|
What about making a kit with information about important
stops along the way? |
|
Do you want to help others make a few memories? |
|
Is it important to feel the time is not wasted
away by bored passengers? |
Travel Kits: A Simple
Way to Bless Others is a gold mine of information that will
spark even more ideas in its readers! Whether the
travel kit will be used in a large or small vehicle, by
a family of 8 or only 3, ideas for everyone from toddlers
to grandparents are covered in this incredibly thorough
E-Book!
Be inspired by beautiful photos that will
capture your attention!
Are you a visual learner? Does
a good picture truly capture a thousand words? We
think so! These pages are filled with vivid photos of travel
kits that will motivate your family as they begin to make
travel kits for others.
Once you consider the simple things in life—things
like colorful shoe strings, eggs of putty, small playing
cards, home-made magnetic games, lollipops, or a small 25-cent
toy, almost anything can become an item of fascination for
children in a vehicle in the midst of a long journey. And
everyone appreciates a dozen freshly made cookies tucked
inside a colorful box tied up with ribbon!
What about the gift packaging?
The Travel Kits E-Book provides
plenty of suggestions for finding ideal packages that will
excite the receiver as much as the items to be found inside!
You might choose to use:
|
Baskets of all shapes and sizes |
|
Boxes wrapped with fanciful gift wrap |
|
Or a TOS Homeschooling with Heart tote bag! |
The options are truly endless!

Do you value the opinion
of other families? Here are a few comments made by
others checking out the Travel Kits: A Simple Way to Bless
Others E-Book . . .
“Going on vacation is a relaxing
time for our family. It is a time for us to spend
quiet moments together. However, when you put five
children in a car together for an extended period
of time, it can be anything but quiet. Over the years
I have come up with some ideas to keep the children
busy. . . I think I may have found our family’s
newest tradition in the form of travel kits.
The concept behind travel kits is for the child/family
member to unwrap a special something every once in
a while during the long car ride. The Travel Kits
E-book is filled with ideas for you to fill your kit
to meet your family’s needs. As I read through
all of the ideas, more ideas sparked in my mind having
to do with my children—their likes, dislikes,
and interests. . . This year it may be just
as fun getting ready for our vacation as it is having
the vacation, because giving gifts and making the
children smile are always fun for me.”
—Nikki Hinkle,
Seven Valley, PA
“You will find detailed
guidance on creating both visually appealing and useful
travel kits. I was thrilled to gain so many new ideas
for future kits. She includes beautiful pictures,
links, and information on where to purchase low-cost
items. Bonuses include recipes and tips on making
‘blessing boxes’ as well. There is a section
with tourism links to all 50 states! . . . Avoid the
‘Are we there yet?’ and ‘I'm bored!’
by planning ahead using this E-Book! Just in time
for your summer trips, you can begin now to plan your
own kits for each child. You may even want to include
one for the front-seat passengers too!”
—Becky Petrocelli,
Haines City, FL
“It’s summer here in Manila,
Philippines, and all of us are experiencing the hot
glare of the sun every day. Our whole family is planning
a long road trip to a province in the south where
we can swim in the ocean to cool off. . . . In my
mind, travel kits were just bags of generic toiletries
to bring when you travel. Now, travel kits
have a totally different meaning and they’re
meant to bless others. Travel kits are items you put
together in a nice ‘kit’ that a family
or your children can open up during the travel. The
purpose of each kit is to make the road trip more
pleasant and filled with more memories. For someone
like me who has no idea how to put together a travel
kit, Travel Kits: A Simple Way to Bless Others by
Donna Rees is definitely a necessary and a good read.
Ms. Donna Rees teaches us the hows and whys of putting
together a travel kit. She explains the reasons for
creating a kit and gives a very detailed explanation
of how to put it together, how to choose items, how
to wrap it up, and finally, how to present it. She
also added a lot of thoughtful ideas, such as including
a trash bag with each kit. The E-Book is filled
with graphics that gave me more ideas on how to create
a travel kit.”
—Michelle Padrelanan,
Paranaque City, Philippines
“This is an awesome book
that everyone needs in their home!! Everyone
takes a short trip at least to somewhere, and the
ideas in this are just wonderful!! This book is full
of neat ideas for kids of all ages, to keep their
minds and hands busy and keep them from being cranky.
She makes suggestions of things to buy and only spends
maybe a $1 for them. She then gives suggestions for
how to wrap them and give them out on the trip. She
makes this whole process fun and rewarding for everyone
involved.”
—Orilla Crider,
West Plains, MO
“This wonderful E-Book will give
you tons of ideas on what to pack for whom and how
to present the package. There are ideas for boys,
girls, and moms and dads. The ideas even include to
wrap the individual gifts which I like so it will
keep the suspense for a longer period. I think I would
allow my kids to open one gift once in a while over
a period of time depending on how long the trip is.
. . . And it contains a list of helpful websites
for traveling families, recipes, a list of books to
read, and much more.”
—Isabelle Lussier,
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
