CREATE A TIME CAPSULE
Time capsules are an incredible way to stow away a favourite memory. Remember your birthday, your first day of school - or any day - by assembling your favourite photos and trinkets into a jar. Pick a place to hide it where you won’t be tempted to look, and let your future self get flooded with nostalgic memories!
