Actual bookmarks: I've got about a bajillion of these, many of them cheap ones that came with a bookstore order, but some nice ones that I've bought as presents for myself or as souvenirs.
Receipts: I've always got some sort of receipt in my purse, so these get pressed into service fairly often.
Airline tickets: I will never stop using paper boarding passes, if only because they make excellent bookmarks.
Pens: NOT a long-term solution because they're hell on the binding, but sometimes you need to save your place and the pen is there and the bookmark isn't.
Business cards: I think I never have copies of my own business card because they're all marking pages inside of books somewhere.
Money: I don't carry cash very often, but if I have it, I try to remember not to use more than a dollar bill because I will absolutely forget it's in there.
Beer coasters: The paper kind from bars! I tend to grab them when I'm out drinking and then I have a billion in my purse so they're handy.

ReplyDeleteThey're the perfect size!
DeleteReceipts were on my list, too!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
I try to avoid getting them if I can, but it seems like I've always got at least one somewhere!
DeleteI don't think I've ever used money as a bookmark, but imagine how exciting that would be to forget and pick up an old book to start reading again and find money in it! I do it all the time with pants, so why not books? xD Receipts and mail are probably my two go-tos, since I always seem to have one or the other close by!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT post.
The excitement of finding money that you've hidden from yourself is amazing!
