And a packet of those fruit/face stamps from Johnson Banks (I can't give you an html link of course, because their website's in bloody Flash).

Things that are relevant to our job in the present: a Mac, an exacto knife, a ruler (hey why not?)...a blank sketchbook (let's hope we're still hunting for the good idea)...and perhaps the latest issues of magazines, etc., that we have found inspiring.

Can I add one? I'd put in a full set of Pantone swatches.
Everyone loves them and they are wondefully tactile things. They are slowly being phased out by the screen. I imagine they will be no more by 2130. So let's save one.
