The “letter time capsule" Gift:

• Once in a lifetime gift

• Low cost, priceless value

• A welcome regift to siblings

 BGC tips: 

1. Before gifting a deceased person’s personal correspondences with you, carefully consider if they would rather those items remain privately with you. Also, you might want to screen the materials before gifting them!

2. Instead of scanning/copying the documents, you could gift the originals

Ways to get documents scanned:

• Visit a Fedex

• Use a personal scanner

• Download free smartphone apps like Genius Scan

• Utilize your local library to access free scanning services

Other time capsule items you might possess with keepsake gift potential:

1. Postcards

2. Voice recordings

3. Artwork/drawings

4. School report cards

5. Military documents or souveniers 

6. Music mixtapes (see Viva La Mixtape)

7. Recipes (see 🎁 Scrumptious handwritten gift)

8. Home videos or photos (see 🎁 One gift to make many people smile)

• Do you have possession of items that are a time capsule of the life of someone’s loved one? ____
