This wooden wish box from Natural Life comes with a pen and slips of paper to inspire its owner to jot down dreams to one day check off of a Bucket List.

The inner lid of the [treasure box for girls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flutterbox) is printed with a sweet sentiment to remind its purpose for setting goals and achieving dreams. Although a bucket list written out on paper might suffice for some, the beauty of this 'Bucket List Box' is that it can be filled with mementos collected in the process of fulfilling each dream item on the list.

While there are dozens of apps to help users put together to-do lists for long and short-term purposes, this [creative stationery set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affirmation-gel-pens) feels much more heartfelt—plus, it's suggested that [writing down goals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grateful-jar) makes then 50% more likely to be achieved.
