Tips in Creating a Memory Box for a Senior

Article Category: Lifestyle

Author Name: James Snyder

A memory box has personal items that will ignite nostalgia in the recipient and will make him remember a certain memory. Such items are actually of no value to others but are important to the senior receiving it. The box can have old pictures, subway tokens, money, coins, ticket stubs, key chains, refrigerator magnets, stones picked up from memorable places and even locks of hair. Seniors would be thankful for such a gift as it would allow them to relive that memory for a brief moment in the present.

To make a memory box, you should get items from the family and friends of the recipient. They may have old pictures, notes or letters from him. You should try to make this project a secret so as not to spoil the surprise. You can also buy an antique that would remind the senior of his childhood and elicit nostalgia. This could be a gum package, lighter, cream, toiletries, magazines, hat, cuff link or any object of an era when the senior utilized them.

Always have a large box so that the items could fit inside. You can choose from a plastic, fabric or wooden box. If you do not have a budget for such a box, you can get a shoebox and then decorate it with newspaper.

The interior of your box can be covered using acid-free paper so that the items inside that are made of paper would not fade easily. If there are old newspaper ads or clippings inside the box, laminate them so that they would not fade .

Stick a big envelope inside the lid so that this would hold loose papers and pictures for protection purposes especially from the bigger items inside the box. Make sure to place pictures of the senior when he was still a child . This will invoke more nostalgia in him.

Each item you place inside should be dated. You should also make notes on the ones that your senior may not remember. Get a card stock and write your note there. Place this inside a tiny plastic bag with a zipper on top and stick this on the item with a safety pin.

Place all the loose papers inside the envelope and the items in your memory box. Close the lid and wrap the box followed by a ribbon. Place a brooch on the ribbon. You can take a picture of the contents and photocopy it to be pasted on the wrapping paper you used. You can also photocopy important pictures of the life of your senior and attach them to your wrapping paper.

When you give your memory box to your senior, expect him to experience nostalgia. You may also ask him if he wants to have another memory box but this time with the items he has in his house. When making this second memory box, ask him to tell tales behind each item you place inside.

A memory box is a sentimental gift that arouses memories, nostalgia, love and longing in seniors.
