Fill a sealed container with letters, drawings, and small mementos from this summer, then hide or bury it to open years later — a reflective craft that captures a snapshot of who you are now.

The Essentials

Steps

  • Choose a sturdy, waterproof container that can survive years buried or stored away.
  • Gather items that capture the moment: letters, photos, small mementos, and a note about current events.
  • Seal the container tightly, using tape or a gasket to keep out moisture.
  • Label it clearly with the date it was sealed and the date it should be opened.
  • Decide on a safe spot to bury or store it where it won't be disturbed.
  • Record the location and opening date somewhere you'll actually remember to check.

Tips

  • Avoid perishable items like food or anything that decomposes, since they can ruin the rest of the contents.
  • Photos and paper last longer in resealable plastic bags inside the container.
  • Write a letter to your future self describing your hopes, favourite things, and daily life right now.
  • Set a realistic opening date, like a birthday or graduation, so it stays meaningful.
