I'd like to make a folder in my GNU/Linux home directory that behaves somewhat like TMPDIR (usually /tmp or /var/tmp); that is, a folder that deletes its contents on reboot or after they've started gathering cobwebs. What's the best way to go about this?
Note that I do not want to simply move the tmp dir to home.

It doesn't "delete on reboot"; it only exists in RAM in the first place. Mount
tmpfs
to a directory under your home directory.
