+BookwormGoesGeo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 In caches that are big enough, I want to start leaving a book with a custom bookmark that encourages the finder to read it and then pay it forward. The front of the bookmark would have a "Congratulations" and recommendations for where to donate the book after the finder is done with it. The back would have lines for people to sign as they read. I want to be a librarian and work as a literacy tutor, so I think it's very fitting for me. I can often find cheap books at thrift stores, garage sales, etc. (I recently found classics such as Black Beauty and Peter Pan in the Dollar Spot at Target) that I can buy very inexpensively. I'd double wrap them in gallon Ziploc bags to keep them from getting damaged and/or wet. What do you think of this as a signature item? Quote Link to comment
+Breaktrack Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I use items from the gift shop of the Battleship Texas BB-35. It's what I started with back in 2000, and I've used them ever since. Pencils, pens, keychains, hats, t-shirts, wristbands, you name it. Mac Quote Link to comment

+floridapenguin Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 My signature item is a penguin eraser and a business card I am building a collection of army men and rubber dinosaurs and lizards. Quote Link to comment
+GELOS Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Our signature item is paracord keyrings we tie and put GI issue P38 can openers on them. I find it relaxing to make and can tie up a couple dozen while watching a movie at night. It works out to about $0.60 a piece when I buy in bulk. Edited March 12, 2015 by GELOS Quote Link to comment

+geordiell Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Love the keyrings but would the tin opener be "dangerous" Dont get me wrong I think its brilliant but if a child was to grab ahold of one of these he/she could nick their finger! geordiell Quote Link to comment
