Here's what I put in my "home" distraction box - My Purple Dreams: My Distraction Box

Like Miswimmy and Perna said, going to the five senses is helpful, too, and I have a "travel" box that goes with me pretty much everywhere that has a small soft fabric, pretty pictures and quotes, a yummy scented lip balm, some sweets, and a CD of favorite tunes on it. It's small enough (not much bigger than the CD actually) to carry in my purse.
