I bought this before my last trip and filled it up with little notes and chocolate kisses for DD and DH. DD is 2 and a half so she's old enough to "be into it" and look forward to opening something every night. I'll say this was really nicely packaged, but you could easily make your own box. (That's really all it is...)<br><br><a href="http://www.onceuponafamily.net/main/products/products.cfm?CategoryTypeID=1&CategoryID=3&Page=2&ItemNumber=SI022" target="_blank">http://www.onceuponafamily.net/main/...emNumber=SI022</a><i><br>
The While I'm Away Box is a delightful way to stay connected to your loved ones while you're away on a business trip, church retreat, weekend with the girls, or a vacation with your spouse. It's also wonderful for siblings who go back and forth between two parents and two homes. The purpose of the box is to fill it up with bits of you and lots of love... cards to open on particular days, favorite stories tape-recorded by you, notes, photos, or treats... something special to wear or play with that belongs to you, perhaps a t-shirt with your perfume on it, or some old jewelry. Even though you can't be together, a part of you will always be with them. Personalize box with your own 4" x 6" photo</i> (their copy)<br><br>
Other than that, my new resolution is to bring DD with me on my next business trip--see if there is some way I can get DD and DH to come with me or have my mom meet me in Nashville, where I go for business occasionally.
