Rec'd on ⭐ What's your most meaningful trinket?

my most meaningful possession i own is definitely my stuffed animal Cheeks (you’ve met him!). he’s not a trinket per say but he’s definitely the most meaningful! first thing i grab if there’s ever a fire truly. he’s just so important to me and has always been there for me emotionally since day one. here’s a picture of him with my grandma from this past winter! also i have a habit of going about life as if toy story is non-fiction so he is fully sentient to me as well as all my other stuffed animals ,, on the subject of trinkets though i am very much a collector. when i’m out with my family my dad always says “you can get that on amazon” but that defeats the whole purpose! i very much tie memories to little souvenirs and find significance in them which always brings me joy. i’m very easily distracted so when i get bummed out in any way, having trinkets around always without fail will lift my spirits.

trinkets

my favorite gifts to give (and receive) are trinkets! even if you think they’re stupid or useless, there is so much love and meaning by looking at something in passing and being filled by the memory or thought of someone! i love perusing thrift store, antique store, etc… and picking out little objects that give me the same energy or memory of a parti person in my life!! i’ve received such an assortment of trinkets to build my collection with and it brings a smile every time i give them a glance. a museum of loved ones. (also it can be uber cheap)!!

I’m almost always wearing jewelry that’s meaningful, whether it was a gift from someone or something i bought that reminds me of someone. I also think you can add meaning to things by making them important, like my favorite ring, which I bought just because I love it but now feels like a part of my self because I wear it so much. In my car, I have a few charms on my mirror: -evil eye from Turkey, where my mom lived for a few years when she was a kid -silver kokopelli charm that has my grandmothers initials and says “her car” on it 🥹 -silver colored sea creature bouquet on a keychain that my little brother gave me when he was small -beaded rainbow octopus from a trip to California to visit family Also a big fan of collecting good rocks on trips and sometimes I’ll carry one of them in my pocket.
