Capture a year’s priceless moments for just $9.88

The beginning of a new year brings with it the time to reflect upon the year that has passed. However throughout the year, it is easy to forget all the funny moments, inside jokes and great times with friends and family.

To make sure you keep track of all those priceless moments, why not create a memory jar?

The great thing about this is it costs just $9.88 to make and your memories will last through the year.

Throughout the next year, every time something happens that you want to remember, write it down and stick it in the jar. At the end of 2013, take a moment and read through your memories. It will be a great way to ring in the year and appreciate the wonderful things that have happened throughout the year.
