A shopping receipt from Tesco or Sainsburys. So he can see how much things cost when money was still around.

Good call.

How about a porn DVD or Magazine. These will change a lot over the next 18 years. Imagine....

I know it's a bit crap, but in the past I have put in a copy of the current 'Now That's What I Call Music' CD in my Godchildrens time capsules, and also an action figure of the popular movie of the time, in the past it was Star Wars Episode III, Toy Story II etc. Right now I guess it would be Harry Potter or Toy Story 3, those sort of things are usually collectible in the years to come, leave them in their original packaging of course. .

RE DVD (forgot to quote). That will be going in, but not sure what to get. Having kids means you get a little behind with modern culture! I put in a copy of Mr Nice (the book). It was near the top of the bestsellers when he was born and whilst it's not strictly 2010 it's a bloody good read.

I have also included:

- a classic Casio digital as they made a revival
- I will be buying a decent bottle of red that will lay. I think 2010 was good fro Bordeaux and Cote Du Rhone

I was going to include an iPod of some kind (Shuffle? Nano?), but i believe their batteries corrode and there is every chance it will be useless. I guess the same goes for an iPad (I'm not going to spend £600 on one anyway!)

An iPad, I'm sure the hype will disappear by then

Good call. I might go for something from Toy Story 3 in the sales.

Yep, just got my delivery a fortnight ago :)

They won't let me have mine for a couple of years, in a warehouse till 2013 I think, as yet no duty paid on it, but hopefully well worth the wait, they're still saying it won't be ready for another 6 or 7 years though :tantrum:

Over the next week or so there will probably countless articles listing top selling cds, books, dvds, etc. Perhaps use these to pick dvds/cds to include. Maybe Oscar/Grammy winners too? Dare you include the x factor winner's single?

Imdb ratings for films this year gives the top 50 as:

Probably Kick Ass and Four Lions then. Both great movies (although four lions is very "now").
