Yeah I started one about 18 years ago with a friend of mine. I had to leave it in the US when I came here but I really look forward to when I can open it again.

I probably should do that. I've got things/momento's just scattered about the place. Maybe I should stick them all in a box. Nice idea OP  |

"I'm just going through mine
Do you have one? "
Yes, and I love going through mine there are always things I had forgotten I'd kept.
Most of the contents are from our date nights, holidays etc, and theres even a mini box of chocs from a hotel we stayed in 5 years ago. I love to keep little random things like our name cards from weddings of friends, loads of photobooth pics, and a peg in a veterinary sample bottle that was removed from our dogs stomach!
Paul thinks I'm a little obsessive about keeping things but when we're old, those are the things that will remind us what a good life we've had.

How many typos?? I think it's important for them to know we had 20 good years together. All I really remember of my parents is a few happy times but mostly the arguing. Divorcing & re-marrying is the best thing they both did. I still have my parents wedding pics though x |

I started one for my daughter when she was born, going to give it to her when she's 18. Filling it with things that will trigger good memories for her so she can remember the good times we had. |

I don't keep a lot of stuff, apart from photos. I don't really attach meaning to objects, if that makes sense, so keeping a ticket stub or a trinket doesn't mean a lot to me. So I don't have a memory box, it's all up in my real memory instead |

Some of my memory is slowly, but surely going  |
