Thanks for the mandalas idea, there are some great adult coloring books I've found on Amazon. A lot of them are by Dover illustrations. I found a Christmas Mandala coloring book. I also found a *gasp* owl coloring book (I love owls)

Since I no longer self harm or have urges, I don't think I'll need the rubber bands anymore.

I still don't have a box, but am going to work at buying 1 or 2 things a month to put in one eventually.

My updated one will have the following:
Puzzle Books
Coloring Books
Stress Ball
Worry Stone
Tangle toy
Deck of Cards

That's not a lot of stuff but I kinda want to keep it simple.

I will be using Chamomile tea everyday soon so I'm not going to keep that in a box.

Also, the candles I'd like to keep out and displayed.

I found a nice wooden box on Amazon. I'll post pics when I get the box and all the stuff to go in it. May take a few months.
