My mom saved my christening gown, dolls, baby book, and Barbies. There's definitely a few toys saved, but not much. MIL saved everything of DH's.

She has our hanboks, my first lunch bag (in great condition), coats, baby sweater that my grandma handknit, etc.

just some jewelry I used to wear. I have a jade bangle that's already too small for my kids. I might let my daughter wear a necklace I used to wear when I was young at some point.

A lot of books and our American Girl dolls. Also some school assignments and crafts that we made.

My MIL kept EVERYTHING from my husband's childhood and is trying to give it ALL to us now. Which is nice for some things that are still useful or in good shape (like a million legos) but some things we just do not want/need. For instance, she tried to send my husband home with her 29 year old maternity clothes the other day as a surprise for me....even though she's a good 4-5 inches taller than me and a completely different body type!

@mrsjyw: I'm glad my MIL is not the only one! I'm having to get really firm on what we will and won't take because I really don't want to bring home ALL THE THINGS and then have to turn around and throw it out/donate it!

@twodoghouse: we did a clean out at her place and another at our place! talk about annoying. out of the 30+ bags of clothes we kept a drawer full of ones that were in good, wearable condition and a few pairs of nearly brand new shoes that were cute for special occasions. we have books and a frame of a prayer that was in dh's nursery that we put in ds' nursery too. but most of that stuff was old and nassssssssty.

My mom saved a lot of my things, but unfortunately she was a victim of the Nashville flood in 2010. Most of the stuff in her (finished) basement was lost, and that's where it all was. Thankfully I had some of the more important things with me, like the teddy bear my dad got me when I was 3 days old. I don't know what, if anything, my dad still has. Except my awesome train. He still has that for sure, but I think that's mostly because he enjoyed it as much as I did!

I think there was a dress and two pairs of bloomers my mom gave me- but most of it has yellowed with age. She kept a dress my sister wore as a baby, and my sister's daughter just wore it to Christmas! that was neat.

I'm putting away a few favorite pieces of clothing for J, but more for if we have another kid. We'll see if they last until he's older!

A lot of my stuff was passed on to cousins. I have my baby hat and blanket. What's really hilarious is I opened up a box of hand-me-downs from my aunt, and halfway through the box there was an old outfit of mine! It's 25'years old, but still in great condition lol.

LO will be wearing DHs christening dress (back then boys wore dresses? Whatever I'm going with it!)

Yep-I have a bunch of stuff! It makes me wonder what kinds of things I should keep for LO.

Just about everything.. really. I wish she'd get rid of it because she keeps asking when I can come and take it.
I live in a rental with no storage and have a DS, not DD :::sigh:::

My mom saved pretty much everything! She saved outfits, artwork, blankets, and my first book bag.

ETA she even kept the positive pregnancy test for a long time!
