When I came back from work, the house at the corner of our street and the highway had a bunch of Sheriff's Dept. vehicles parked and officers milling around, and there was a big homemade plywood sign on a tree reading "REPENT 4 JUSTICE." I do not have a reassuring feeling about this.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Hivemind, I need your help. I'm trying to put together some small "care packages" for my team. I have 8 people who are my direct reports for the Con. So far I have the following...
small pack of tissues
pack of tic tacs
a few packs of Emergen-C
a few tubes of Zip Fizz (B12 based energy drink mix)
some Andes candies
I feel like I missing another something. I'm considering getting a pack of crazy bandaids and throwing a few in each package. Everything has to be for their personal use as we can't give food or first aid to attendees. Maybe tiny Purell bottles? Where would I find them? Another fairly inexpensive item?
On the last day of the Con, I have Thank You cards and $5 Starbucks cards to give them.

Some kind of protein bar (Kind, Luna, etc) and a bottle of water?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Some kind of cute pin, Suzi? Or cute lanyards?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe tiny Purell bottles? Where would I find them?
I'm pretty sure those are in the travel section of the drugstore, and you might see other ideas there as well?
Overall, this sounds so nice!

Oh, hand sanitizer is good. Help avoid the con plague. And it's better optics than a surgical face mask.

Thanks y'all. The stations where my folks will be, part of their job is maintaining a box of snacks and protein bars. They get free lanyards and there are Con lanyards for purchase. I always hesitate over lotion - people have so many allergies and skin issues. Small wet wipes and a lucky penny are great ideas. I do just need to get to a drug store and see what pops.
Thank you!!!

Home now. Less trouble driving back than driving there. (Delaware traffic was much less annoying today)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I made up a "zombie apocalypse survival kit" care package for my staff that featured fun-sized candy bars, a big emery board, little sample-size tin of Nivea, and a handful of single packets of antibacterial wipes - all gotten at the dollar store.
