Treasure chests

I have decided to make my 2 dd's their own treasure chest. I have a chest shaped jewellery box that I am in the process of decorating to look like a proper treasure chest. I am going to put in some jewellery and chocolate coins.

Has anyone got any ideas what else I could put in?

Thank you in advance.

    A special (Glass? perspex?) Christmas decoration to hang on the tree each year?


    Could you do a treasure hunt for them to find them? All around the house/garden/car etc kind of thing?

    What about sea shells, you can get these from craft shops. Gems And jewels.
    rings & of course a treasure map that you could take a step further & incorporate a treasure hunt ending in a prize such as a tiara.
    If I come up with any more ideas I'll add to this thread.

    How about some jelly friendship ring sweeties? That way they can have edible jewellery too :p

    Nice hairslides/scrunchies/hairstuff in general might be nice too.
