I had a lot of my grandmother's things. Mostly items that I never used but they were hers and I felt I had to keep them. I asked my girls if they wanted any of it and they said said not really. I realized they had no memories attached to the items. It was like seeing an old china set in a thrift shop, pretty but you don't buy it. My kids have all gotten the little things they want to keep from my house. I was surprised that they each had attachments to the oddest things. An old hotel desk bell to a bathroom vanity tray. I know that they have the things that had memory attached for them. Items I probably would have gotten rid of never thinking they wanted them. The rest I can do as I want with it and not feel like I should save it for them. I have found I have forgotten what I have gotten rid of so I know it won't bother me later. LOL
