After years have passed, or your budget gets tight, it’s hard to find that perfect gift for Christmas.  After awhile, you want to find something that has meaning, and can last a lifetime or even be passed on.  How about searching through your family’s past to find old photos, recipes, trinkets, or anything else that has a special meaning?…

Try this new idea…”A TIME CAPSULE CHRISTMAS GIFT.”

You will need to get and find out a few things before you get started….

-Find out what year the person was born (the one you are giving the gift to).

-Speak with other family members and friends and try to get old photo, postcards, or any other keepsakes from the person’s past that you can use….Create a scrapbook page featuring the photos and memorabilia. 

-Find out about important events that happened during the year of the person’s birth. Look through old magazines and newspapers or even the internet….

-Try to purchase antiques or trinkets during their birth year or for different years of the person’s life. 

—-Once you have all of these items, you can begin creating this unique original Christmas gift idea. Buy a cute gift box and put all of these items together with a meaningful card.  Explain the time capsule gift and what each object in this box means.  It definitely will be a unique gift for the holiday season.
