: We have them.
: Themes- for the ladies- sewing, cooking, gardening, babies, children, school days, homemaking...
: For the men- fishing, hunting, cars, old time toys, tools.
: Think of all the things you do, things your husband does- as hobbies and work- for themes. Traveling is a theme. Going on vacations is a theme. Favorite singers, old time movie stars- are themes. The Great Depression, WW 2- periods in history are also themes we use. Decades- 1920's, 30;s- are themes.

We had many of the above kits, plus some seasonal themes, My Mother's House (full of small antiques and pictures of old homes), and My Home Town (old stuff from business and pictures of old small towns)There were also sort boxes like picture post cards, loose playing cards, larger shells, blocks of wood, business cards, match books (minus the matches) and advertizing pens. We also had a "Beach in a box" (a big plastic box filled with sand and smooth stones, shells and driftwood.) Some of the families made boxes for their loved ones filled with personal things from their own lives.
