The idea of a gratitude jar is a nice one for with the kids (or on your own?) I went shopping with a friend of mine and she was looking for a big jar to use as a memory jar with her S7 this year. He is going to write the dates and the memory on little postits, put them in the jar and they'll look at them Xmas next year.....lovely!
I tried to do this with XH for 2 years (we called ours a blessing jar) but he never hardly put anything in it. So, I started a new one just for me on Jan. 1. I already have 6 slips of paper in mine and while I don't force myself to write something everyday, obviously some days just seem to have stuff that needs to be recorded for posterity!
