Prop Ideas

[AprilRamone]

Hey Everyone,
I've always enjoyed shooting portraits outside with whatever we find and not worrying about props. But, I saw a picture recently with a child sitting in a suitcase. It looked lovely and I also realized it would be helpful in keeping them occupied/still for a couple of seconds longer than normal. So, just wondering what your favorite props/furniture etc... are to use when doing portraits.
I'm thinking about going to some thrift stores and seeing if I find anything that would look interesting in photographs.
