My little family put these together a few weeks ago as we made a list of all our blessings and talked about all the things and people for which we are grateful. If you search "blessing bags" on Pinterest there is a plethora of ideas. Our little family did what we could and our bags included tissues, hand warmers, toothbrush and toothpaste, hand sanitizer, bandaids, snacks and water bottle (not pictured). However, the possibilities are endless what you can include in these bags. Here is a list of possibilities:

hand warmers

socks

gloves

beanie
