SP and Newt, what do you two put in your containers?
I keep soap and bath salts that are kinda luxury items, I even had a pair of silk pjs once....anything that’s nice and appeals to each of the five senses goes in. You have to keep it updated with things like chocolate gift cards etc, that way if you want to buy something but are broke you still can. So like something for iTunes to get new music or amazon to get whatever fun thing you wouldn’t normally buy. It’s nice to have photos, that’s where I keep my photo books...it reminds me of the good times and good people I have in my life. I have some books on dinosaurs like art books and a graphic novel.....stuff that’s easy and fun.
