FIRST AID BOX ORGANIZATION

This post is dedicated to Rehana's campaign, urging everyone to have their first aid kit prepared. I do have first aid kit in a 'pouch', a free gift I got after I bought something (couldn't recalled). It's very basic. So, I want to 'upgrade' my first aid kit by putting more first aid essentials in it. It was not possible to do so without getting a new home for the items first. Thus, I bought a first aid BOX, which was the last piece on display. {Am I the last one here, getting my box ready?} At this stage, I just transferred the existing items in the pouch (notice the worn/aged packaging) into the box:
  • Scissors
  • Soap wipes
  • Cleaning wipes
  • Adhesive strip
  • Non-woven sponge
  • Mouth-to-mouth mask 
  • Safety pins
  • Bandages
  • First Aid information booklet 
Cost
First Aid Box RM8.90 (Billion)

What next?
Search in the internet (reliable sites) for must-have items in a first aid box and buy them. From my initial search, the sites listed different items in their must-have lists. So, I have to do some thinking and decide on my needs.

Updates:  I'm considering to add these items as suggested by The Oranised Housewife
  • Cold pack
  • Thermometer
  • Medicine cups
  • Pain reliever
  • Antihistamine for hayfever and allergies
  • Tweezers
  • Eye wash
  • Antiseptic spray/cream
  • Burn cream
  • Tissues
Before and after
So, here is the newly bought first aid box next to the years-old first aid pouch :)
