What to Include in a Baby Time Capsule
Your baby is coming soon. Learn what to include in a Baby Time Capsule, especially the first month after your baby is born. There are many milestone moments you want to capture.
On the back of this decorative Baby Time Capsule it reads:
Once upon a time you were born…
…and this magical year –
long, long ago – was a time
of excitement and great
change in the world.
The wonderful day
of your birth and year
that followed is what this
Time Capsule celebrates.
Your family and friends have gathered a unique
collection of everyday items that will – with the passage
of time – most assuredly become priceless to you. They
wanted the memorabilia in this Time Capsule to afford
you a small glimpse back in time – an opportunity to
recapture s an adult the events, trends, and popular
culture that would become part of your very being.
Your capsule has been sealed for many years…
waiting for that special day – that once-in-a-lifetime
reunion with the beginning of it all. When you open it,
you will take part in one of the most personal history
lessons ever. You will have the unique opportunity to
know what life was like the year you were born.
What to Include as Keepsakes in your Baby Time Capsule:
When I was cleaning out my closet the other day, I saw items I thought I lost. It was a tragedy to see some mice had eaten some of the paper items. I almost felt like I was hurting my mother and father in some way, for not taking better care of these items.
I do not want this to happen to you, so I have made a list of items to keep in your Baby Time Capsule now before they are destroyed.
- A local daily newspaper
- A video of the local nightly news
- A national newspaper (USA Today)
- A television guide
- A weekly news magazine (Time, Newsweek)
- An entertainment magazine (People, US)
- Special interest magazines (Sports Illustrated)
