First-Aid Kit
For any accidents it's good to have a few medical supplies. You can buy a first-aid kit, but once again it's not difficult to put together your own. Just go into a drugstore and grab a few things. A good first aid checklist can be found at the insurance site Insweb. A little more controversial is a 10-day supply of antibiotics if you can talk a doctor into prescribing a private stash to be used after a phone consultation.
72-Hour Kit
For extended emergencies you might want to keep a 72-hour kit, which is a container filled with enough stuff to keep you alive for three days. You can buy one, but you can also put together your own. BePrepared.com has an extensive list of the necessities, including games for your children.
