I want to make something fun to give my T when he comes back from vacation next week. I've been thinking about a "Therapist's Survival Kit" and I have a few ideas but I'm not feeling particularly imaginative lately.
Here's what I have so far: ~Cling Free Dryer Sheets (for those of us who get too clingy) ~Hershey's Hugs (so he can direct patients to the candy dish when they want a hug) ~Paper Airplane (for those of us on a flight into health) ~Magic Wand (needs no explanation!) ~Aspirin (also needs no explanation!) ~Plastic toy fence (for those of us who need better boundaries) ~Plastic Knife (to cut through the BS) ~Plastic Picture Frame (for those of us who always try to "break the frame") Anyone care to help? It's something fun that you could make for your own T, too!

So clever! I am eager to see what your T thinks of it all, might have to use this as a gift for my own!

That's true! We could call it "Numb and Clean" -- the solution for EVERYTHING!

I would get my T special high-tech specs so he can wear them and see an image of his email inbox in them. This way he can surreptitiously check on his email without letting me know he is doing it. Win win!
I love the idea of the fake wax lips.

My T is the dust bunny king, and he seriously needs a can of Pledge!
And a phone that's not a stone age relic might be good, too! |

I'm thinking that Kleenex is most likely a must as well...

Yes! Kleenex to clean the high-tech specs and to dust the furniture!

Mean but funny!
My T doesn't need earplugs. He started wearing a hearing aid a year or 2 ago. And one day the battery was on the end table in his office when I got there... hmm... he said he just had to change it but maybe not!
