Items You Can’t Bear to Toss

Ticket Stubs

Concerts, movies, and sports events—ticket stubs serve as tiny time capsules of memorable experiences.

Childhood Toys

That well-worn teddy or action figure holds the power to transport you straight back to younger days.

Handwritten Letters

Even in a digital age, people cherish ink-scrawled notes from loved ones as irreplaceable mementos.

Chipped Mugs

A favorite coffee mug—even cracked—remains in rotation because of the comfort its shape and memories bring.

Old Receipts

Whether for expense tracking or just “in case,” many keep receipts long past their useful life.

Broken Electronics

From a cracked phone screen to an old MP3 player, “fixable one day” often means “never fixed.”

Mismatched Socks

Rather than toss the lonely survivor of a pair, people hold onto single socks in hopes its mate reappears.
