Stow Away


Calling all pack rats!  If you're one of those kooks who just can't let go of that bus ticket or luggage tag, rest easy in the fact that you're in good company.  To avoid a situation similar to the sickeningly sloppy participants on TLC's Clean Sweep, tuck your memorabilia away in semi-organized vessels- try the ol' cigar box if you've got one kickin' around the house.


Worth Saving
Concert tickets from shows you really loved
Luggage tags or boarding passes from especially nice trips
Postcards
Photobooth photographs, Polaroids, well any photograph really...
Foreign currency (sometimes comes in handy in a pinch)
Knicks and knacks you pick up in your travels
Anything that makes you smile/laugh/cry/etc


Decidedly Not Worth Saving
Pop tabs
Wrappers (unless they're really cool)
Every business card you ever receive
Toothpicks
Greeting cards that you're not particularly attached to
Things that rot

In other words, junk goes in the garbage, souvenirs and memories go in a memory box.  You can decide the difference for yourself.  Happy hoarding!
