Memorable Holidays

There are many memorable holidays that deserve to be showcased with beautiful crafts. Father’s day is coming up and we have some keepsake gift ideas for you to celebrate it and many other memorable holidays. Sometimes all your father wants to do is spend time with family, but other times a gift is a great idea to give your dad on this special holiday.

How do you keep traditions alive in your family? Many memorable holidays are celebrated with certain rituals, traditions, or other meaningful fun things to celebrate them. Some holidays are celebrated with festivals, so save special mementos and memorabilia to remember these great times. You could even create a nice scrapbook page for this memorable holiday, saving a favorite flower, card, or other memorabilia from this special day.

For Easter, you could save an Easter egg with sentimental items and loving notes for your children to read as they find each egg. Your child could then make a keepsake message scrapbook page with all of the memories from this memorable holiday. Leave little notes about how much you love them or about the cute little things they do. You could add it to your photo album of your children with the before, during, and after pictures of your children hunting for the eggs on Easter.

Talk about how much fun your memorable holidays are, and save your most favorite photos on a beautiful scrapbook page. For a faster project, you could make a holiday time capsule, like New Year’s, Christmas, Valentine’s, or anything you want using the “Any Occasion” DIY time capsule seen here. Simply add your own photos to the outside of the your DIY memorable holidays time capsule. You can even use markers to write on the outside, or decorate it with scrapbook type embellishments. Then, just drop your memorable items you want to keep in the time capsule, fill out a “Message to the Future” letter, seal it, and you are done.

So, for Father’s day do something different this year. Make a Father’s Day or Family time capsule using the “Any Occasion” DIY time capsule. Put your dad’s favorite quotes, sayings, items, or other things in it and let him open it, making it a memorable holiday. Fill it with old photos of him growing up, some of his first toys he played with as a kid, and letters of love and memories. Let him open it this holiday, but then tell him to fill the time capsule with whatever else is most important to him from this year in his life. Then, tell him to pick a “Do Not Open Until” date to open the time capsule, decades in the future, so he can reminisce again about what life was like when he filled it from this year.

Maybe you went on a vacation together, went swimming at a special place for a holiday recently, or just spent family time at home. Whatever you do to create memorable holidays, consider making a Family time capsule this year to preserve all of those memories. What would you save in a family time capsule? Comment below.
