Back to work survival kit

A friend of mine is returning to work soon after maternity leave. I thought I'd buy her a 'survival kit' to take with her.

So far I've thought of:

  • hand cream
  • spare pair of tights
  • fruit tea & hot choc sachets (she doesnt' drink tea or coffee)
  • paracetamol

Can you think of anything else which is useful to have at work?

Thanks

KJB

    Thanks for the ideas. She'll get all her stationery through work so I am thinking of more personal stuff. I'll add in a nail file and some tissues though, and a lip balm.

    Lovely idea - my emergency drawer stuff has what you've already said plus a mini deodorant, hair brush, box of balm tissues, sweeteners.
