Personal Emergency Kit

 For those "just in case" moments when a last minute meeting pops up or the day turned out to be a lot hotter than what you were expecting it to be, a button has fallen off your jacket or your nail breaks whilst filing away important documents.

There are a number of mini catastrophes that can occur throughout the day so be prepared and have a small collection of necessities stored inside one of the drawers in your desk. There are numerous stores which stock mini travel sized toiletries which are ideal for your emergency kit. Always be prepared for the unexpected by having all or some of these items in your office:

  • Lint roller
  • Toothbrush and toothpaste
  • Nail file
  • Hairbrush/comb
  • Deodorant/Perfume
  • Breash freshener/mints
  • Shoe shine
  • Travel sized sewing kit
  • Tissues
For Women add:
  • Spare tights/stockings
  • Make up basics
For Men add:
  • A spare shirt
  • Razor/ electric shaver
This list of items will cover the basics for any such personal emergency which may appear during your busy day in the office.
