Could be an attached memory or sentimental value, whatever.
Conventional worth be dammed.
Given to me it would either be the quilts my grandmother made, or the charts my grandfather followed along with during the moon landing.
Personal items would be the assorted thank you notes the elderly have given me from being in retirement industry. Want to make a collage of them one day.
My grandfather’s dog tags from Vietnam. He always kept them swinging from his rear-view mirror. Swore they kept him safe.
Also swore up and down that he wasn’t superstitious, lol.
From my great grandmothers kitchen:
A rubber stamp of my grandfather’s initials, which happens to be exactly my initials.
Nobody else in the family have this initials, so this really would worth anything only to me.
Great grandfathers service medals from the continuation war.
As I understood it from grandma he was doing damage control when the Soviet fire bombed towns.
My father’s sword, shield, and cloak! You might go, oh! Antiques! And no. The sword and shield are made from like, automotive metal I’m pretty sure. It’s old school SCA stuff. The cloak is really really nice though. Unfortunately cloaks aren’t the most fashionable anymore and it’s also so thick I could only wear it a few times a year. And those days are slipping away each year.
This weird box that apparently once held candy that I think came from my grandmother but am not sure, and it’s full of buttons. It says Blue Bird Confectionery on the bottom, and it’s full of an assortment of buttons that I have no idea of the origin of. It’s just sat on my shelf for decades.

Grandmother’s napkin holder. I remember it from decades of family dinners.
Grandfather’s humongous old dictionary.
I’m still using my grandma’s ashtray. She didn’t smoke chronic but I remember sitting with her at the table dropping winstons into that MF all day long. After she died (of cancer obviously, she smoked a pack a day since she was 12 years old and made it to 79) I took it. Now it lives in my library, and even though I don’t smoke cigs I use it every day for my joints.
Been using them 30 years, remember them on grandma’s counter
