Best practice for picking convenient IPv6 addresses for a few hosts on an isolated LAN

I have in the past setup small ad hoc LANs which were totally disconnected from the internet and when assigning addresses to the hosts, I could pick whatever made communicating the addresses between humans as easy as possible (and as easy as possible to remember in your head). Not surprising, one of my favourites were to give hosts numbers like 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3 etc. Very easy to communicate, and very easy to keep in your head. (Ok, I had almost total freedom on how to choose my addresses. I could of course not use 127.0.0.1 for any of the ethernet interfaces, or use any subnet addresses or broadcast addresses)

While waiting for various parties (enterprises, ISPs etc) to deploy IPv6 (and thus provide a real incentive to use IPv6 in the real world), I'm a bit keen on trying it out by on a small (minimalistic?) scale, simply by repeating the task by setting up a isolated LAN but this time relying on IPv6 to communicate between the hosts. I can, quite freely, pick any IPv6 addresses I like. Almost, at least. I cannot pick ::1 as the address of any LAN interface for example, as that is reselved for the loopback interface. And given all the different ranges of IPv6 addresses that are reserved for all kinds of uses and purposes, I wonder: in this isolated LAN context, what is the best way to pick easy to remember, easy to communicate verbally IPv6 addresses? (Say it is for 3 to 32 hosts or so)

I know this question is a bit academic and probably not something you would run into in a 'real' deployment of IPv6 (be it business or hobby usage). Still I'm curious about the best way to "handcraft" convenient IPv6 addresses, so please don't provide answers which only provides me with a solution which "saves" me from the need to create these IPv6 addresses manually. (Or provide answers that only explains why it is a bad practice manually setting these IPv6 addresses...)

I'm on board with Tom's Solution but an amendment:

FC00:0001:0001::/48 would be your network segment

Hosts:

FC00:1:1::1

FC00:1:1::2

FC00:1:1::3

.

FC00:1:1:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

...THAT'S A LOT OF IPs!
