    Default Annoyed with personalized items

    This should probably go in the bitching post, but I thought you all would get it LOL

    i'm trying to get rid of stuff but here are these little bags from preschool with Ds's photograph on them (tell me.. How am I supposed to give away those??) or items with DD's name, and then there is the photo album that someone had inscribed for our 10th anniversary, except I don't use those types of albums since I scrapbook. What am I supposed to do with this stuff??

    Dd has an unusual name, so it would be hard for someone to reuse them :-)

    I totally agree. I'm dealing with a similar issue while decluttering books and other kid toys. We have so many books inscribed by the giver and it's so sweet but it just doesn't make sense to keep certain titles indefinitely.

    Ha - I'm probably the ONLY one in the world who has an LL Bean Boat and Tote bag with someone ELSES initials on it! But I got it for a STEAL at goodwill and I LOVE it.. use it constantly in my car.

    We also have purchased used books with dedications - simply because we want to READ them. I have even found autographed books!

    I wouldn't hesitate to donate! ANYTHING!
