I would feel honored if one of my relatives gave me an object out of love - valuable or not. I would also cherish any story that went with the object. My aunt gave me a cake plate that she used to serve her fabulous pineapple coconut cake. Everytime I look at or use that plate I have fond memories of her - she lives on in my heart. I hope your relatives will feel the same when you share your valued mementos.
