How about a "junk drawer starter kit". I took a mayo jar and filled it with stuff my junk drawer - twist tie, thumb tacks, clothes pin, penny, book of matches, etc. There was a poem attached, but I can't remember it now.
Got one of those twisty phone cords - voila - a phoneless cord.
At a family reunion, I told everyone that the company I was working for had big profits that year and shared them with the employees, so I was going to share them with my family. I gave all the guys diamond tie tacks (I glued a dime to a thumb tack), and gave all the women diamond pins (glued a dime on a safety pin).
