When you get ready to spend a day by the water, your tackle box is your own personal treasure chest. From hooks to lures to bobbers and more, you don't leave the house without making sure everything is in place. That's a good thing, but the next time you do an inventory, make sure you find room for some sort of first-aid kit.
You've got your beach cottage reservations, your swimsuit, your camera. But do you have what you need most of all? We mean, of course, your first-aid kit -- summer edition.
IT'S TRUE that the holidays are all about family and celebration and good will toward men, but somewhere between the ho-ho-ho and the fa-la-la-la-la, a person can often go a little, well, crazy. Does any of this sound familiar? Once December comes, your office suddenly becomes a smorgasbord of baked goods and, after the third hour of looking at them, you break down and eat five red doughnuts and a holiday log. Every day.

Melanie Wass What a steal! The medibuddy first-aid kit not only has everything a mom of two active toddlers needs, but it also comes in a cute, compact carrying case that takes up less space than a 16-ounce bottle of juice -- great news for someone who's guilty of carrying everything short of the kitchen sink in her purse. Kids love the colored crayon bandages. The smiley stickers make a bad "boo-boo" all better. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all 40 items inside the small case fit back into the case as easily and neatly as when the case was first opened. My first thought was to replace the used items with ones I had in my medicine cabinet, but after discovering the kit is sold for just $4.95 and that each purchase gives back to the disabled community, I've already bought one t...
When I saw the price tag on the Pedia-Pak, I gasped: $65.95 seems pretty steep for a portable first-aid kit. After looking through it, I think it's a steal.
