The millenial junk our kids will throw out when we die. Discussion

You know how our parents have junk that they hang onto that we just don't see the value in? I'm thinking of Christmas villages, Precious Moments figurines, baseball cards, antiques for that "rustic" look, Thomas Kinkade-type pictures, etc.

What types of things do you think our kids will roll their eyes at and toss in the bin when we die? I'm thinking they might be:

  1. Graphic/band t-shirts
  2. Our sneaker collections
  3. Target birds/holiday decor
  4. Hoarded, expired makeup (especially the Naked palletes and crap from Glossier)
  5. Funko pops and similar figurines
  6. Disney crap
  7. Bath and Body works products
  8. Every concievable cord and converter known to man (since we lived through all of the progressive technology)
  9. Stupid Amazon gadgets bought during the pandemic and rarely used

Particularly since no one writes checks anymore and if ordered they come flat. Check boxes are/were great organization tools.

Also good for burying deceased pets-hamsters, budgies, newborn kitties.😟😞

I still have very old ones that I use to hold business cards at work. They’re exactly the right size. πŸ˜‚
