First Aid Kit |
|
When it comes to storage kits, no home should be without a first aid kit of some kind. While it's true that pre-made first aid kits are readily available, most will not contain all the items you see listed below. By purchasing your own supplies you can divide them up into multiple first aid kits. In addition to having a well-stocked kit in your home, it's a good idea to create a smaller version for each of your vehicles. It's also nice to make mini first aid kits for each member of the family to carry in their backpack or purse.
A tackle box makes a super functional case for storing a first aid. It's portable and has lots of compartments for dividing up supplies.

Cleaning Kit |
|
Another must-have form of storage kit is a cleaning kit. If you live in a multi-story home, I recommend having a cleaning kit on each floor. That way you don’t have to haul your supplies up and down the stairs when you want to use them. Keep your kit in a caddy like this one with a convenient handle for transporting cleaning supplies from room to room. If you have small children in your home, be sure to store it in a safe location out of the reach of little ones.

Mending Kit |
|
Mending kits are another essential form of storage kit. I like to keep a mending kit in the laundry room for quick fixes like sewing on a button, but you can also keep it in your sewing room if you're fortunate enough to have one. Another good idea to have a small mending kit in the car for emergency

Car Safety Kit |
|
There are a variety of car safety kits available on the market. You can find them at your local auto parts' store and any department store that sells basic automotive supplies. You can also create your own if you prefer. The idea is to have everything you might need in the event of an emergency.
In addition to the items in your emergency kit, it's always a good idea to have wet wipes, water bottles, and n0n-perishable snacks in the car (and possibly some hand sanitizer).
