1 – 200 of 221 Newer› Newest»This survival kit is a must for summer use. With fire ants and the burning afternoon sun, the sunscreen and anti-itch spray is so needed for our family. I probably would just add a little mesh bag to carry everthing in, if it was to be carried outside.
What is not to love about this kit? It is perfect for the mom on the go, like me, in the summer time. Between swimming lessons, dance classes, play dates. It is perfect to keep in the car or in your bag!
I love that it has spray sunsreen which is my fave for kids!

I like the sunscreen - you can never get enough of that! I would add a water bottle, I think.

CI like the CVS/pharmacy Continuous Clear Spray Sunscreen SPF 30. My son doesn't have time for me to rub the lotion on, the spray and go is easier.

Nice survival pack! Only other thing I would need to add here would be insect repellent. We have a mutant strain of killer mosquito's invading our town.
i'll go ahead and wish me luck.
I love that it includes the all-important sunscreen- I would add one of those "blankets' they sell at CVS that roll up (that can be used like a picnic blanket, a beach blanket, etc)
I love everything that is in this kit! What a great idea about the hand sanitizing pen and of course the suntan lotion spray. I can't think of anything else that would be needed, except a couple of bandaids, which are easy enough to add by myself.
Thank you for offering this giveaway and please enter me.
I like the idea of a easy-to-carry hand sanitizing spray. But where are the band-aids? It seems like we're always needing them when we're out and about in the summer.
I love the wash and toss cups. Great giveaway, thanks! hellomary018 at yahoo dot com
I love the sunscreen-can never have enough during the summer!!
Really like the itch relief--wouldn't add anything more.
I like the spray hand sanitizer -- sometimes summer activities make it hard to get to a sink and soap! What else would I add? Chapstick!
This kit a summer essential! I love that everything I need to have a safe and fun summer is contained in one kit! Thanks for the giveaway.
Not sure if there's anything to add...maybe some lip balm. Or a hat.
I'd love to have a bin full of those cotton cloths! They are so multipurpose!
I'd love to have a bin full of those cotton cloths! They are so multipurpose!
This kit is great. I like the spray sunscreen because it is a must in my fair skinned family. The only thing I would add is insect repellent. Thanks for the giveaway.
carissaad at aol dot com
Wow! It looks like they have pretty much all of the bases covered. I can't think of anything I would add or change. I would say that the hand sanitizing spray pen would be my favourite item. We go through a lot of hand sanitizer when we are out and my kids ask for it even when I forget.
michelle at northofthe49 dot com
This survival kit looks great. It would be a good thing to keep in the car at all times. I would add bug spray.
Great kit, I especially like the Continuous Clear Spray Sunscreen SPF 30 - super for quick and, if neccessary, repeated applications. I'd add bug repellent - a summer essential.
bsabel(at)hotmail(dot)com
This is the best gift for the mom on the go! If i added anything to the kit it would be a mesh bag to hold everything and chap stick. My family is always asking for chap stick to keep their lips from burning during our outdoors days!
thanks!
Oh that sounds good! Every mom needs a survival pack! Looks like you've included everything! I think a good travel game would be a good addition to the pack. :)
I would add bandaids,insect repellent, and a tide to go pen. I love the instant itch relief spray. I could definitely use that spray here when I get those horrid bug bites.
samsakara@twcny.rr.com
I love the sunscreen! I'd add some tylenol to the mix!! :-)
I love the throwaway sippy cups! And the sunscreen spray, which is so convenient with kids. I would add a pack of baby wipes, which come in handy when the kids are outdoors!!
The itch relief is the best - I hate dealing with bug bites which is also why I would add insect repellant (safe for babies of course!).
Thanks!
nateandjakesmom at gmail dot com
the pool, the beach, the park, campfires, they're good to go with this stuff! how great, could really help!!luckyjnet@yahoo.com
i love the sunscreen for sure! i would probably add band aids or insect repellent.
really great idea, however, you need bandaids
I like the sanitizer because it's alcohol-free!
alleensantana @ yahoo.com
Great kit! We can all use this this summer. I would add a mesh bag or a little zipped bag to put it in so it stays together. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ann dot guns at mac dot com
two things - insect repellent and Band-aids. the kit would be wonderful for summer
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
cloths would be nice
That's a great kit! I would add bug repellant, too.
Love that the kit comes with spray sunscreen. The only think I didn't see was waterproof bandaids. My kids cannot go outside without coming back inside with at least a scratch.
gkstratos @yahoo.com
Sunscreen. I cannot believe how quick that spray stuff goes, already on my 3rd bottle and its just the 2nd week in June!
The itch relief spray is a great idea - bug repellant might be a nice addition too!
I love that it has spray sunscreen.
This sounds like a great kit. I like the sunscreen (I have red-heads!). I probably would add some type of carry case, but otherwise very cool! Great giveaway! Thanks for offering this!

Love the sunscreen. Add handlotion for mom/dad.
betsylin06 at hotmail dot com
you know what is great about this kit is you can throw it in your backpack and you are truly prepared for summer
3beez at bellsouth dot net
What a great kit! We could sure use this since we spend lots of time on the water and the sunscreen would come in very handy. Also the anti-itch spray, since I have very sensitive skin and seem to always be breaking out from something!!
guysrose at aol dot com
This is a great survival kit...love those wipes! I would also love to see one of those small fans included!
Thanks
bvbabybv at gmail.com
some bandaids for booboos
I like the sunscreen -- it's somehow more fun to spray the kids then to rub in the lotion.
I'd add some lip balm and maybe a box of gallon sized zipper bags -- I'll need one to hold all of the stuff, and the other to catch all of the wet clothes from fun activities this summer!
I would add earplugs and advil for the parents!
twincere@hotmail.com
this is a great kit
Love it - a reusable tote would be great to carry all of this in
This is a super kit. I would throw it in a bag with some bug spray and we would be set!
I love that kit! The sippy cups are always a necessity for my toddler, and the hand sanitizer in a spray pen sounds really cool! The only thing I might add is insect repellent, because there are a lot of mosquitos here this time of year.
insect repellent and Band-aids are a staple for us with our boys.

neneelynn@yahoo.com
Sunblock!! We can never have enough sunblock.
I think what I like best is that is covers all the basics. It's the type of kit you could keep in the car all the time.
I love how this has alot of things that parents need during the summer but I would have to add bandaids because you never know when those are going to be needed
chickeedee_2002(at)yahoo(dot)com
This is a great survival kit. The only thing I could think of that it might be missing is Bandaids. Thanks so much!
Sunblock is a must! I would add disposable place mats and bandaids.
Can they add SANITY to the kit? LOL!!!! Just kidding.
You can never have too much sunscreen and I LOVE the sanitizer pen. What a nifty idea!
Thanks for the great giveaway.

Well this kit has just about everything...the only thing I would add is bug spray.
jquarry27@aol.com
I would add a sunblock stick for putting sunblock on little kids faces. Other than that, good job.
I love CVS! This is a great kit - one thing I would add is lotion for my feet, since I'm wearing sandals all summer.
Thanks for the chance to win!
cfoblog [at] gmail [dot] com
WOW!!! I love this kit!!! It great for everyday summer travel with the kids!!!
I live in Arizona and can never have too much sunblock...Especially for my kiddo!
I love everything in the kit. Maybe add some type of snack or holder. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
mistchlo[at]hughes[dot]net
Great kit, love that it has sunscreen as we often forget that (I live in Oregon, I think we've had one sunny day in the last 2 weeks. Where is summer??). I would add either a bag to keep everything together, or maybe a water bottle for mom!
love this for all the kids
Well you can't have everything in every kit. This is a good selection. Perhaps an airline bottle of scotch! Seriously, some adhesive bandages are needed.
The instant itch spray relief would be the number one need for me! The mosquitos are brutal right now! I would also add the bandaids, not only for the "booboo" but for child amsuement! It is amazing what a bandaid can do to change a mood!
What a great gift! I love the thoughtful items in this; obviously chosen by an experienced mom. :) The only things I would add are maybe some bug spray or afterbite. stilljen@comcast.net
Everything here is perfect for parents to have with them in the summertime. You never know which "tool" in the kit you will need! Thanks for a great contest!
the sunscreen!
this is great -- the only thing I might add is a water bottle
I wouldn't add anything and I like the CVS/pharmacy Hand Sanitizing Spray Pen for Kids.
Great kit. Would come in handy for our many playground trips. The only thing I think I would add would be some bandaids and tissues.
sweepmom@comcast.net
Love the Cottony Cloths, can't count how many times we've been caught without wipes when a huge mess comes up. Also love the idea of the Sanitizing Spray Pen. My little one always has me touching something odd or digging in the dirt. This would be a lifesaver!
princess3sah@cs.com
I think this would be great for impromtu stops at the park. This kit has everything except the picnic blanket and the snacks.
Great kit! I think i would only add bug spray! :)
I'd love to win this kit, I havent even started picking up stuff for the summer season yet, Ive barely even had a chance to look in my medicine closet to see if last years sunblock has expired!!
num1twinkie at yahoo dot com
Great kit! The sunscreen and itch stick are summer must-haves.
I live in FL, the sunscreen is the best.
This is a great kit...has everything you could need in it. Does it have a box or bag to carry it all in?
this is a great kit to have especially with all the traveling and outdoor time that comes with the hot weather
I like everything in the kit especially the sunscreen! I would add insect repellent.
Every mom needs a survival pack!
Super kit to win. I'd add a higher SPF sunblock and/or some neosporin and band-aids!
I like the sunscreen and the anti-itch spray. I would add some insect repellant and snack containers.
Needs a tote, band-aids, and small ziploc bags.
bug spray, but the kit sounds wonderful as is.
looks great, but my kiddos would require bandaids as well, lol
I would also include a pair of children's sunglasses. Thanks for the contest!
What I love most about the summer survival kit is the hand sanitizer spray! I didn't even know they made it in a spray! If I could add anything it would be baby sunglasses:)

chefdaddy79@yahoo.com
Itch relief spray is great for bug bites!
The best part of this set is the Spray Sunscreen! We are very fair skinned and I am constantly applying sunscreen to my little ones! Thanks for the chance!
I love the case full of very very useful items. I would use all of them. This is a great idea.
clenna@aol.com
I love the hand sanitizer pen. I love that it's portable and alcohol-free. Hmm...what to add...a hat to block the sun for the kids? Or a bucket and shovel to put everything in to take to the beach? Thanks for the giveaway!
I miss my sippy cup!
I don't think I would anything to the kit because it has pretty much everything in there. My favorite is the CVS/pharmacy Instant Itch Relief Spray. We have tons of mosquitos where I live in the summer so this would be great! Thanks for the chance.
This is great! Wouldn't change anything!
I like everything in the kit especially the sippy cup and the washcloths. Kids always want a drink and always make a mess.LOL
The itch relief spray is great. I would add a cute beach tote to put it all in or snacks
I especially love the itch relief pen looking thing. I 'd love to have one of those for my purse. The skeeters up here really stink some nights!
The sunscreen is my favorite as we live in Arizona and need to apply it often. I would also include chapstick.
love the pen but I would add a non-persible snack as kids are always hungry
Can always use help to survive the Summer.
Everything in the kit is something we use..my youngest is a redhead, white skinned child and we go through a container of sunscreen a WEEK on him in summer weather. Thanks, I could really use this set!
I love the sunscreen - I'm always worried my old stuff has gone bad since the previous summer. I wouldn't add anything. (afdr3d@umkc.edu)
I love the wash or toss cups! Those are such a genius idea!!! I would also add kid individual travel snacks.
this is a really great kit to take along and has everything needed except for some cute character band-aids.
Our summer is already in full swing and I have already been needing all of these. I a mprobably the prepared mother of all time. I would keep this in the car at all times. This would make me actually look prepared at all times
I like the whole kit, but the sunscreen and anti-itch cream. I would second the blanket idea.
everything a mom needs to help for the summer. love it, especially the sunscreen. That is so important for the skin and sometimes we forget. Thank you for being thoughtful.
i really like the anti itch spray, i wouldn't change a thing
jchic45102@yahoo.com
I love that it has sunscreen. This is a must for beautiful skin!
I really love this kit as it is! If I could add anything I would probably add a healthy snack and some band aids and a spray on Neosporin. My kids seem to get more scrapes and cuts in the summer from playing outside.
Great idea! Hey you forgot bandaides!!! OMG I can't leave the house without them. lol
I need this summer kit we will be traveling 2500 mile round trip, kids going to camps, My kids are in sports. We live in fire ant country, we live where its hot and beaches. I just need this kit it will be a life saver sometime this summer I will use all of its contents. Thank you.
the set is complete except for emergency lip gloss,
In case there's an old boyfriend from school'
In the store,or your boss!
Hi, I love CVS! They have a lot of good buys in their adds and I use their "Extra Care" card and get a lot of items with that money! Their
"Summer Survival" Kit is fantastic!
It would be a great kit for summer evenings, at the pool, a supplement for going camping,etc. Please enter me in your delightful drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
jchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com
I like the sippy cups best, but everything in the kit is great!
partymix25(at)hotmail(dot)com
We live out in the country and our granddaughter comes to visit all the time. Having this kit would be wonderful for her visits. Easy for clean up and great for bites, etc.
Wow! This has everything I would need for the summer!
Everything sounds great but the itch relief spray would be a must have!!! Little ones can really scratch there skin raw and this would help!
Brilliant. This has almost everything needed...maybe a few bandaids would be good too ;) But spray sunblock is the best invention yet :D
This is a great summer kit. Like the comments before I would add bug spray and probably some bottled water.
I really like the sunscreen and bug spray... it's a great kit! Maybe add some band aids?
ticole96(at)msn(dot)com
Sunscreen!
I think it is a great kit. The only things I can think of to add would be sunglasses or sun hats.
What a great pack of things from CVS. The sunscreen and itch spray are musts for the summer. The only other nice item would be something to drink of a warm day or a CVS giftcard to get people to check the store out.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
The hand sanitizer and the itch relief spray are the best parts of the kit to me. Those things are used with great frequency in my house.
doot65[at]comcast[dot]net
I'd add bandaids.
i like the Spray Pen, what a neat idea. can't think of anything to add, thanks for the contest
Love the kit, just would add bug spray since we live in NH, the mosquitoes are awful!! k_cook30@yahoo.com
I love this kit idea. Everything all together in one place ready for any outing! I would probably just add insect repellent like others have said. Great idea!
live42day(at)q(dot)com
Love this idea! Would love some cool water bottles also! Hope I win!
i like everything included in the pack and would not add anything else to it
This Kit comes with everything we need to grab when we go to the beach...Love it!!
I'm all about the sunscreen although I usually get a higher SPF, maybe they could add a 70 spf next time!!
I'm all aboutthe sunscreen, maybe a higher SPF??!!
with camping fishing and the beach this is a must have for those sunny bug infested days
This is a cute idea.
A cute bag to carry it all in, some mints, a small comb (I always forget one when I take the kids swimming).
Love it!!
The Cottony Cloths! I put my son in the car and he's filthy in a second, I knew NOT know how, haha, but I'd love to have some to clean him up! I wouldn't add anything, great Kit!
The sanitizing spray is a great idea. Thank goodness someone finally thought of that! Nice contest!
They have stuff for bug bites.. but not bug repelliant!
I blogged your contest on Prize-A-Tron!
http://www.prizeatron.com
I like the spray pen idea...I haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to!
I love this kit because everything that is in it would be nice to have handy

Melmom3@gmail.com
This has everything we need for a day at the park.
i love that it is packed my kids on the go. everything is in the bag just grab and go.
i would add the face sunblock stick, i'd be afraid of spraying in there eyes or something. plus those are so easy to use. no mess
I love this kit I think I love cause it has everything you need except one. And that is the snacks.
Looks like a great kit! Can't wait to try the continuous spray sunscreen.
we're dragging our unwilling infant around to different locales this summer. everything in the kit would be a godsend. i always forget to bring handsanitizer. (bad mommy). and a car window screen! they should toss one of those in the kit!
The itch relief spray is a great and add a water bottle
The itch relief sounds great, something we all can use since we're bound to get bites everytime we spend time in the outdoors!
jaydonco1 (at) aol (dot) com
Great prize
This is a nice little prize to have!Very handy...
Sounds awesome! I might add a 'Neosporine' on the go spray. I think that's what it's called.
I use those sippy cups and I try to keep them and wash them but I am always needing more.
The sunscreen, this whole kit would be nice to just leave in the car
Wow! What a great giveaway! I love everything in this...especially the fact that it has everything you need so you can just grab it and go! Thanks for a fun contest!
Amy
craftylildevil(at)hotmail(dot)com
I didn't know they made a sanitizer for kids. Have to get some. The only thing I would add is something to carry it all in.
I love that it has spray sunsreen which is my fave for kids!
I would like having the toss cups. I am always trying to keep things and this just might make me not worry about their cups.
I love the sunscreen; a water bottle would be nice.
theyyyguy@yahoo.com
I love it all, you can never have too many wipes with you! Having sunscreen in it is perfect, how many folks forget to have that with them?
I guess I would add a Neosporin-type product- but other than that- it's all cool
its awesome it has everything you need for that great summer day..i wouldnt add a thing :)
The itch relief spray is awesome!
I love everything in the kit, my favorite is the sunscreen, I had skin cancer removed on my chest a few months ago. Thanks!
sunscreen is a must - would like to try this! I am always forgetting mine
Sunscreen is always a need for my fair skin.
I love the Instant Itch Relief Spray. No telling what we come into contact with during the summer.
I would include a pack of bandaids and chapstick.
Perfect for a trip the beach or a pool! Thanks!!
It has the very important sunscreen in it!
I heart the spray sunsreen which is my fave for kids!all the goodies are nice .ty!! 4 the great giveaway!:)
it has everything you need.
the survival kit is a must for any summer activity. I really like the sunscreen and the anti-itch spray
great for kids thanks
I love the bug bite stuff. That's a HUGE summer problem. I'd also include some aloe vera gel and antiseptic.
I would love to win. I like the sunblock. I can't think of anything to add.
the spray sunscreen is great and the whole kit is nice.
would add reusable tote...
You have really thought of it all...I am especially for the sunscreen, because at 37, I have already had numerous skin cancers burned/removed as a result of childhood burns...My girls never leave the house without their sunscreen!
ashlyn@chuparkoff.com
This is a great kit and the only thing I would add is band aids
The itch spray is a must. (Actually everything in the kit is a 'must' but the itch spray is always a forgotten item.) Do they make an insect repellent that is safe for kids??
The sippy cups are great. I would have to keep some in the car and some in the house. You have to be ready for anything as a mom!
Very handy! I love the cups.
This is a great kit, but you know what I find would be really nice, would be a little carrier to keep extra personal items like a little hat (a must for those with minimal hair), and a favorite binky.
I love that I can try out the Playskool products :)
hematopoiesis at hotmail dot com
Like the suncreen, would add a lipbalm.
gosh@zoominternet.net
I love the spray sunscreen. It's much easier to apply on squirming little ones. I would add a carry all to, well, carry it all!
I would put this kit right in my vehicle. Everything in it is a must-have and I always seem to need every item in this kit yet fail to bring any of them with me-(ex-hiking)
:)
That's a great survival kit. I can't think of anything else to add to it!
Looks great, I agree bug spray would be great and maybe some lip balm. Thanks a lot!
chris
cme8397@yahoo.com
This is full of great products. We could most use the sunscreen around here, we always need more sunscreen!
I love all these items, especially the disposable sippy cups - great idea! I would love to see chapstick added to protect lips from summer sun and wind.
This is a great kit! The only thing that I think I would add to it would be lip balm. My kids' lips get so dry out in the sun. Thanks!!
i think the whole kit is great,but i love the sunscreen&sippy cups!! ahdrad2932@msn.com
oh the sunblock = with the pasty white legs and arms in this family we never have enough sunblock!
This would be great for the kids and the HOT Florida sun
