I reused a biscuit tin for my time capsule, and sealed all its contents in a plastic zip lock bag which I have handy in the kitchen.

To ensure that the ‘map’ doesn’t get lost in time, I set a Google Calendar event for 31st December 2038 and sent an invitation to my husband’s email address, complete with a written description and a photograph of the time capsule’s location. His email address will probably be the most enduring way of contacting him in the future.

Among other things, I included a few of my Design 101 assignments, a pack of my handmade soap (because I’m curious to see if they can still lather up and clean well after 25 years!), drawings by my children, a recent copy of the Time magazine, a printed cinema ticket to watch The Desolation of Smaug (I took my children this morning!) and a short commentary of the significance of the items.
