Hope box

Hi.
Hopefully someone on here will be able to help me as I've looked and as I don't know the proper name am not getting very far!
I'm looking for ideas on how to make a 'hope box'. Basically a box filled with things with a play on meanings. I'm not too sure how to explain it so I might be waffling (sorry!) but like you'd put a party hat in to remind the person not to take things too seriously sort of thing.
Really hope this makes sense and someone can help with the name and/or ideas/meanings as its driving me crazy!!
Thank you!
