Baby Time Capsule

Hi everyone,
I have been so inspired by all the lovely things I've seen you all make on here so I thought I might ask for your help! My best friend will be having her first child very shortly so I'm going to try my hand at making one of the nappy cakes, the ones I've seen on here look so fab that I'd happy to make something even half as nice!
Anyway...I've decided I'm also going to make a 'time capsule' to give to the baby when he/she gets older. So far I thought I'd include:
A newspaper from the day the baby is born
A CD of whatever the number 1 single is
A photograph of the parents
But thats all I can think of so far! I just wondered if anyone has any ideas of anything else that I can include.
Thank you so much for your help!!
