I keep a whole lot of sentimental items, like yearbooks and old letters from boot camp and some stuff from old friends. I also still have Dakota's old baby clothes and the kids' old baby toys, which are being donated to my MIL come Christmas anyways.

3. You’re keeping it out of guilt—it’s still new in the box;

Me to a T and fiancee hates it. What if the person comes over looking for the item they gave me???
