Summer Holiday Prep Little Treats

[alwaysusethebiglight]

I’m sure for some, the summer holidays are a relief, but for me they are long, isolating, challenging and dull. I have a whole list of jobs to do before the hols, but I’d like to treat myself to some little gifts that I can have each week. I’m thinking small chocolate bars, a lipstick, nice teabags, nothing too expensive. Any suggestions? What little treat would bring you joy?

How about some nice shower gel and body lotion. Boots £10 Tuesday is a good place to look. Superdrug has regular offers too.
You could also write some treat ideas on paper and fold such as foot soak, face mask, make a cocktail/ mocktail, paint nails, have a bath.
Wrap up your little treats in tissue, add the folded paper and pick a couple out each week.
Use it a bit like an advent box.
Are there no inclusive Summer play schemes where you are?

@24DogcuddlerShower gel and Boots Tuesday is a great idea, as for holiday schemes we’ve got 6 half days booked this year, which is the most we’ve ever had. It will make such a difference. Historically holidays have been so difficult, I’m always anxious about them. Toilet training is the plan for this year! I’ve decided to get little treats for everyone, just to make it a more positive experience.

Love your positive approach. Half a day a week isn’t good at all. Our LA has a longstanding well staffed SEN Playscheme.
Good luck with the toilet training.

@24Dogcuddleractually it’s 2 half days for 3 weeks, it’s a private scheme. After a fight, we do have some respite care, 4 hours a month, but it’s 45 mins away, so not the most restful! The council have actually offered a direct payment the last 2 years, just for the summer, as there is no suitable provision, so hopefully, if I get that this year, it will go towards our club this summer, as it’s £300 for those 6 half days!

A new joy, to put away, new pens, only cheap, but I ♡ a new packet of Zebra pens!
