Great Idea Mominpain!

For me I could not live without my hot water bottles. I have a couple with nice soft covers. I travel with them and they really come in handy especially on airplanes. Beyond that my survival kit contains the following items:

Any fabric soft and warm (I always have to warm my bed before I get in)
Microwaveable bean bags, available at most drug stores
Sheep skin slippers, hand made from a local crafts person
Down filled soft covered booties from Brookstone
Hot wax machine, available at most drug stores
TENS machine
Exercise bike, ball, & therapy bands.
Qigong DVD for stress relief (a gentle exercise focused on breathing and energy flow)
Breathing exercises
Stretch Pure & Simple DVD
Meditation & guided imagery CD's (My favorite is called Mind Food Pain Control by Hemi Sync because it has helped me to learn how to turn down the pain signalshttp://www.new-mind.com/HemiSyncPain...management.htm
Hot tub & sauna
Exfoliation glove or soft bath brush (for desensitisation) available at most drug stores.
Wooden massage roller for my foot because my fascia tightens
For emergencies I also carry those heating patches called Tensor (they say they work for 10 hours but I never got that much heat from them, perhaps because my RSD foot is typically ice cold) I bought mine at Walmart.

I stopped using electric heating pads because I had one that caught on fire.

Wishing you much joy and peace.
