+HunterandSamuel Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I also buy small squirt guns for the summer time, red, white, and blue beaded necklaces for 4th of July, scary critters (spiders, squishy eye balls, roaches, etc) for Halloween, mini gel pens, emoji rubber bracelets, squishy smiley figures, etc. Use them all year round. We replenish our cache containers to keep them well stocked. It's fun and I love the compliments on how well stock they are and cachers saying they have to bring their kids. 1 Quote Link to comment
+HunterandSamuel Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'm interested also in what people use for FTFs gifts. Quote Link to comment

They aren't aimed at anyone in particular, just something that says "I was here!" I also attach a wine cork to travel bugs that I release. I do too! They are decorative, so pretty, and many creative uses. I cut a slit in one (laying on it's side, not upright) to hold wallet size photo. Edited to add, also slice off the bottom so it will stand.

We've done a few "bottle cap" caches, and when themed like that, we've left bottle caps too. We made a bottle cap travel bug and invited cachers to add their favorite or original bottle caps. That's our signature skeleton key (to open their bottles, lol). 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm making "Roaring '20s" themed signature items for next year (2020's), and a "skeleton key" would be a neat attachment. Maybe I can find a whole bunch cheap. Nice!!! I love these ideas. Can I say here where I bought them? Or is that against forum rules? If not, google wedding favor vintage skeleton keys. I bought a bag of 60 for around $21. Quote Link to comment

A mix, and the stupid plastic faux corks are actually better at preserving the character of the wine than natural cork, which can vary tremendously in it's ability to seal ans preserve the wine. I've got a cache (unpublished, as yet - it's a gadget cache that we are having difficulty getting permission to place!) in my local series about natural vs synthetic corks, and even screw tops. Interesting subject! But that's all off topic from the OP's post - and colleda brought up a good point about the smell on the natural cork attracting critters. The synthetic ones would be less likely to absorb the aroma. Hmmm I purchased bulk 2' by 4' and larger heavy duty Ziploc bags online. They will keep your corks dry and looking good.

+HunterandSamuel Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I found a stylus in a cache last year. Still use it today on my cell. The mini Bic gel pens seem to be popular so we buy them when on sale, usually back to school sales, also carry them with us to sign logs. In our larger survivor cache we have a new tennis ball but surprisingly it hasn't been taken. People geocache with their geodogs so I thought it would be popular. lol Quote Link to comment
