Need to find a solution for temp lists

I want to put lists on various containers listing what is in the container.

I was thinking that I'd tick off the items that were removed and erase the tick mark when the item was returned.

Any thoughts on how I might best go about this, seeing that a "pencil-eraser" combination is not exactly what I had in mind?

How long would the lists be? On what kinds of containers? Ummmm..... how about putting little electrical toggle switches on the containers, one per item? You wouldn't have to wire the switches up to anything, just use them as a visual "in/out" representation.
