How's Your Sentimentality?

 

How's Your Sentimentality?

Have you ever asked yourself the question: if you were in a fire, and everyone was getting out safely, what items would you grab to save?

As an adult, I'm scooping up my phone (because it houses all my photographs) and my purse (because IDs, credit, and insurance cards are unbelievably difficult to replace). If I were much older than I am now, I presume it will take me a while to get out the door. So, it's just me and my walker making the big rush. I'll have my memories!

But thinking back a good long while, when I was a child, I'd have wanted to save all of my favorite toys. And by the looks of my living room today, there would be a giant garbage bag full of stuffed animals that my two year old daughter would refuse to allow to go up in flames! From favorite TV shows to simply the fuzziest and softest she could find, her snuggly friends would literally overflow around her car seat on the way out. 

It is interesting how sentimentality looks from the eyes of age and experience in life. The things that we cherish and consider keepsakes evolve over time and become treasures from our past. 

I'm thinking about sentimentality just before Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day (whichever you prefer), and how relevant it is to work for a company that thrives in seasons where sentimental gifts are the best ones. I'm enjoying seeing items like the World's Softest Pink Koala have success because people see the intrinsic value of plush treasures. 

Where I once might have looked at a plush toy as something only children can enjoy, I now look at them as keepsakes that can hold memories in their furry paws, tangible comforts to those in pain or confusion, or loveable friends that get lined up on the couch and taught a good lesson! 

Having a little one really does remind you of the small moments and simple fortunes that can improve your life in immeasurable ways. Something so uncomplicated as a World's Softest bunny or bear can brighten someone's day and they may hold it dear for the rest of their lives. It will remind the other person of the time that you spent together and the memories you were able to make. 

I'm okay with my little girl grabbing her stuffies on our way out the door!!
