First Aid Kits

I'm preparing welcome bags for our guests who are travelling over from the UK with us. They'll include bottled water/bottle of beer/maps and local guide books/info letter etc. One of the things I want to include is a first aid kit. It's more of a token gesture really as people will more than likely bring their own paracetamol etc with them, but it's just something extra to show we've put some thought into it and an extra thing to include in the bag. So far I've thought of:

antiseptic wipes (stolen by my mum from the hospital!)

plasters

paracetamol

alka seltzer

indigestion tablets

strepsils

Can anyone think of anything else? If I had all the money in the world, I could include bandages, creams etc, but I'm looking for things I can buy in a big pack and split (e.g. am cutting up the packs of tablets to include a couple in each kit).

What a very thoughtful idea!

How about an energy bar or Special K bar kind of thing? Packet of mints? Mini too brush? Packet of tissues?

Thanks ladies, I'm already including tissues, mints, snacks etc in the bags. I was really after ideas specifically for the first aid kits e.g. medicines.

Might it not look a little bit dodgy to Customs if your suitcase is scanned and there's loads of cut up bits of pill packet in there?

Already thought of this! I won't be cutting them up until I get there. My suitcase will just have normal sized packs of tablets and I'll be sending some with my parents and sister also.

If you cut up packets of pills, how will people know what the pills are though? I know this is sometimes written on the foil - but they won't have dosage instructions etc. as they aren't in the packet. I know this is common sense as folk will know how to take paracetamol etc, but just a thought!

I'm doing a first aid kit to go in with hen night bags I'm doing, and I've got Parcetamol from Tesco and Asda at 16p a pack if that helps?
