Time capsules are the coolest gifts for children and they are fun to make. I just made one for my son's 10th and 21st birthdays. I put a nice card in each, popular toys from around the time that he was born (ZhuZhu Pet, Silly Bandz, Littlest Petshop, Matchbox cars), and magazines. I took them to my local food storage center where you can buy pouches or cans that are meant to last for 30 years. I paid $2.70 for two pouches, packets to absorb moisture, and they sealed them up. I would have preferred cans, but the staff that does canning was not in and I figured that pouches are just as fun! Now wish me luck in hiding these for 10 and 21 years!
That is a neat idea. I might do it if I remember.

This is such a great idea! I made "Time capsules" when I was a kid, which was basically a piece of paper with magazine clippings on it and my predictions for the future (LOL). I hid it in the attic and found it again while preparing for a garage sale - it was pretty funny seeing it!
ReplyDeleteHelpful for me...i might do it if i remember.
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a really cute idea for grandparents to do too.
