Joey.Beetle Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hello community! I recently discovered Geocaching. In the five caches I've found the last days weren't really cool things so I put some nice things into them without taking anything. But what to put into the next ones? I wasn't really creative.. Do you have any nice and creative suggestions? What would YOU like to find? And sorry if there's already a thread like this, I haven't experience with forums. And also forgive me my poor English.

I would love to hear what you placed in the cache. Many of us wonder what exactly do people consider nice swag. I leave: geocaching pins geocaching bookmarks custom made through Staples Off towelettes I have left: delete erasers Paper Bag Princess mini books I collect: plastic animals handmade items things that make me laugh Quote Link to comment
+Twitch Hugs Trees Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hate to break it to you but that red pouch isn't handmade... It's a Starbucks giftcard holder that they sell around Christmas time... I use it as a change purse because it looks handmade. All my friends think I'm crafty now. I really like those "delete" erasers, where did you find those? On topic: I usually leave charms (Snoopy, Joe Cool) and polished stones in smaller caches, I haven't really found any larger caches so I don't trade in them. I'm still working on a sig item, so pretty soon I'll start leaving those in there too. Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I think it's pretty safe to assume trinkets you think are neat (buttons, small toys, small novelty figurines) are a good idea. Old coins (before the Euro) are also interesting. Stickers and temporary tattoos are iffy because they come apart or may become messy if the cache contents become wet. Quote Link to comment
+Castle Mischief Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Carabiners. I will always trade for a carabiner. Quote Link to comment
+BackPocket Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 My three kids love keychains to hang on their backpacks. They also like plastic animals, carabiners, superballs, and pins. I've been decluttering and leaving bracelets, crystal suncatchers, polished agate slices. Our favorite find was a fairy charm, I made that into a hanging charm for our fairy garden!

Got them at a Hallmark store about a year ago. I think you can buy them online. Quote Link to comment
Andronicus Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I like to leave PEZ despensors. There are so many different ones, it is kind of cool. Quote Link to comment

This is a great question, I was wondering the same thing. Those glow-in-the-dark chemical light sticks are awesome! I will climb mountains and paddle across lakes for them. I don't know why, but I love them! I use them when I go sailing to I can find the boat at night. Quote Link to comment
+lachupa Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I've been leaving silver charms, plastic animals, and little water guns. I've also throw in these little drawings I made on some wooden disks about the size of a quarter I found at Michaels. The only thing I've kept was a carabiner. Quote Link to comment
+SweetPea&Crew Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 We're planning (soon as the current swag bag is depleted) to begin leaving Silly Bands, those animal-shaped rubber bands that all the kids are so crazy about these days. We will leave entire packets in larger caches, and silly bands are perfect for smaller-sized caches like film cans. We'd drive a long, long way to find one shaped like a duck, as our collection is missing that one. Quote Link to comment
