Hi I’ve been asked to put together a rummage box for the residents in my care. My manager has asked that it is not a topic rummage box but a mixture of objects. Can anyone give me some idea’s please?
Hi, Sarah, here is an example of an assorted Rummage Box. small screwdriver, lipstick, chocolate, black and white photograph, soft toy, bottle opener, pair of gloves, coins, CDs, lavender posy, car keys, compact powder, doilies, spoons.

Older kitchen utensils for women and old tools for men. Can lead to very interesting memories and stories. Go to some garage sales, or on secondhand websites.
What a blessing to have found the Golden Carers website, our residents love the activities, particularly fond of visual and musical quizzes. Oh, what fun!! Thanks to all to those at Golden Carers and everyone who contributes to making this website an invaluable tool in ones' toolkit.

Ultimately the choice is yours
Realize that things are going to go missing from the boxes so I would not spend too much money on any one thing
Perhaps you can ask for some donations
