What You Need:
▲ a jar + lid
▲ small tokens from your trip that will fit in the jar
▲ a smallish favorite photo from your trip
▲ a decorative tag {or make your own} + twine or ribbon + Sharpie
Anybody else not really wanting to remember an amazing trip by bringing home a pack of picture playing cards or a collectible spoon?
Creating a memory jar lets you put a personal touch on things + showcase your actual memories/trip highlights + it's not from an overpriced gift shop. Win-win! While this makes for a perfect sand & rock holder for beach/camping trips, you can also fill your jar with various tickets, foreign currency, & small souvenirs from most any place you care to venture. You can be all minimalist or maximalist on these - you get to decide. I'm thinking several of these jars showcasing different trips would look great as a collection displayed on a shelf or mantle. Hmmm, I think I may just sense a travel tradition starting here in our house...
