What can I put in a keepsake box?

Question

I got it as a gift and I dunno what to put in it! I'm planning on keeping it forever and i know I'll keep adding to it over the years, but for now?? Oh yeah and I'm twelve, so I can't put like my wedding invitations or watever.

Answer 1

this is for "special things" -

keep things that wont fit in your picture album =

maybe a pin from a club you belong to - a souvenior from a trip, a special key chain, a note/letter from a friend, school programs, tickets to events - anything you have that is small enough to fit in the box = and holds some kind of sentimental value to you.

It is yours - and it's a special personal gift -

some day you'll look back on this and won't believe the "treasures" you have saved.  I would be nice if you had one for every one or two years - and keep them in a plastic tote - to open on your  30th - or 50th birthday.

         A real special gift of memories.

Answer 2

This is a lifetime gift so don't get to excited about it now.  It's a great gift too, I know your going to love it as you get older.  For now, think if it as your goal box.  Take some time and think of the things you want to accomplish and the things that you could add to the box to document them .  This might include the A+ report you did in English class, a screen print from you myface page, your self portrait from Art class, the tassel from your graduation cap, the acceptance letter from college, your first paycheck stub, notes from friends and family.  Trust me it will fill up in no time.  Just enjoy your accomplishments and document them the best way you can.
