A Sentimental Journey...


Sentimental gifts can be a personal, meaningful way to share with family members or old friends...and there is still time this season to find:
  • Mementos from the company where one of your parents or grandparents worked
  • Souvenirs from a summer camp or family vacation spot
  • An old toy or doll someone loved (or coveted but never got)
  • Favorite books or comic books
  • A magazine from a memorable year (not necessarily a birth year - which we don't remember!)
  • A piece from your grandmother's china pattern
  • A toy model of the car your dad drove
  • A baseball card or pennant from someone's favorite team
  • College or high school memorabilia
  • Old record albums (Restoration Hardware has album-size frames for instant art)
eBay is a great place to find gifts that are oldies but goodies.

Some people on your gift list will be thrilled with a sentimental gift...others might be confused and ask you why you are giving them some old piece of junk. Your job is to know the difference!
