[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 744837, member: 4152"] Passed down sentimental items: Well, this is a little complicated because these were from my dad, who I did not care for. But he had a surprisingly large owl collection. Some were very pretty. A few were expensive. Ceramic etc. I kept two of the nicer, more expensive ones. I gave a Lennox one to my daughter in law’s mom who has a small collection. Then I put an advertisement in a local newspaper for the rest. It was great. A young man came and said he wanted to buy it for his Aunt’s birthday. She was a collector. He saw the ad and was delighted. He would never be able to top this as a birthday gift! (Probably true!) I don’t have much from my mother. Clothing. Slowly over the years, I gave things to people who I thought might like them. When I give a lot or something special to Goodwill, I say a prayer over the box. I ask G-d to see to it that these special items go to a good person or a good family and good things come of this donation, like a new job, or they simply feel better and so forth. [/QUOTE]
