self-care basket from Bonnie Neumeier
Bonnie’s basket is filled with gifts that help us nurture ourselves as we seek justice for the long haul. She says taking care of ourselves well is a necessary, political act. We need to remember to add things in our lives that will bring us peace, joy and comfort. Her basket includes:

• Another Day: Sabbath Poems, 2013-2023 by Wendell Berry
  
• A journal and pen
• Notecards and envelopes: OTOMI, embroidered textile art from Mexico

• A large cotton bag made by Bonnie’s husband, Michael Flood
• Bonnie crocheted a potholder/trivet
• Loose leaf Findlay Market fresh herbal blend tea and measuring spoon
• Two dark chocolate bars (orange peel and walnut & sea salt)
• Dr. Bronner’s peppermint bar soap

Bonnie loves to read and write. Keeping a journal feeds her soul. Reading poetry is like sacred prayer. Finding something creative to do with your hands is always helpful. Enjoy these craft gifts; they were created with homemade love. Sharing tea and conversation with a friend is a must. Keeping in touch with friends by sending a handwritten notecard is special. We need our friends to witness and share our journey. Taking a shower with the fresh smell of peppermint can rejuvenate your spirit. Going to a thrift store finding a basket is always fun. Whoever wins this basket of goodies please know that the Peaslee family is grateful for your support. And Bonnie wants you to love and nurture yourself well every day of the year. These gifts may help you do just that, especially with a taste of dark chocolate to sweeten your day!

LEGO set and backpack, Hamilton sweatshirt and banner from Chris Heckman
I love LEGO! I love the creativity, the endless creations, the colorful bricks, and joy that is had when an idea comes together. This summer, our family went to Billund, a small city in Denmark where LEGO was founded and is currently based. I'm hopeful that a little LEGO-loving student can enjoy showing off such a unique backpack!

The musical Hamilton was such a breath of fresh air for people like me. I grew up a fan of rap and hip hop, but not musicals. Tying the art of lyrical delivery to the struggles we had founding the country certainly made it far more interesting! Enjoy this hoodie showing your love of Hamilton, and I hope the quote banner can be inspiration for making your mark on history!

neck massage pillow and foot massager from Elizabeth Burnside
After working hard all day, it’s important to relax when you come home! Leave your tension and stress behind, and treat yourself to a neck massage, foot massage, or both at once.

games from JT Sedgwick
JT believes that having fun is one of the most important political acts that someone can do. In the face of a society bent on taking so much, it is crucial that people hold onto their joy. As such, he offers a small selection of games that he has enjoyed over the years. He suggests you share the experience with a few loved ones.
