When Aries turned 1, I decided I wanted to make her a Time Capsule on her 1st B-day Party. Close friends and family were told to came up with something to put on the time capsule. The capsule was suppose to be sealed on her party and wouldn’t be open till her 21st b-day!
Well, I haven’t sealed it…. just yet. I wanted to add more things as time passed by. So here are some of the contents of the capsule.
Some mini bottles of alcohol.
Victor’s books when he was a kid.. they are about 24 years old.
This precious moments doll.. I wanted to keep it and give it to my 1st daughter.
Aries loves it but have to hide it from her.
Victor gave her some of his favorites songs on a CD,
a transformer, Saint Seiya figure, and some of his medals from the Marines.
Her grandparents and aunts wrote her letters. I made her a scrapbook.
So far.. I will not sealed it just yet.. I need to add some baby clothing, another magazine and some photos.
You should try this… Who know what is gonna happen in 20 years but I do this for her. A very memorable gift for her 21st b-day! Oh man I’m gonna be 43 years of age! OH my gosh!
Thanks,
Omigosh Angie this is such a great idea! I need to do this for my kids. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is one of the best ideas I have ever heard of! You might even forget yourself everything you added to it and the surprise (and fun) will be for all 3 of you!
Yes.. i took pictures of all the items.. plus I added some of her newborn clothes and didn't took a picture. So I just forgot what I added.. lol Thanks!

Aw, I love this idea!! That's so sweet that you, your husband and relatives all wanted to include something for her. 🙂
I haven't done anything like this for my kids but I love this idea. I definitely want to do something like this now!
