Jar (peanut butter jar will do)
bird seed

Fill the jar half full of bird seed. Add a screw, jingle bell,
rubber band, piece of macaroni, button, needle, bead, paper clip
penny, marble, pop tab, etc. Put 20 itemsin the jar. Fill with
bird seed, leaving a space at the top for the bird seed to move
around when shaking the jar. To prevent people from opening the
lid, you can add some glue to the threads of the lid, then
screw it onto the jar. Keep a list of the things you put into
the jar, because it's almost guaranteed that the person you
give the jar to will not find them all.

Add the following poem:

Some pirates got it all mixed up
And did things wrong way 'round.
They put the treasure in a bottle
And buried the map in the ground!
Their treasure was some silly stuff
Like needles, screws, and beads.
Then dear old Polly Parrot
Added all her extra seeds!
So find the twenty items here
No two are quite the same.
Don't open up the bottle though
As that would break the game
