On my side, my box is filled at maximum. All my collection of stamps as my hobby- favorite stuffed animals, my colleagues’ welfare cards and all impish and adoring ones with my best buddies and class photo acquired that help me remember the good times and bad times flash backs! I like that very much for I got to refresh my memories so swiftly.

My mom’s photo album

She has done yoman’s work cataloging embarrassing moments now for decades.

Every time I go home, my kids pull this stuff out (must be like fifty hard cover photo albums…no digital) and laugh their asses off

My shoebox is actually a file box from office depot. I’ve got pictures, ribbons, scout patches, trophies and more. It’s full of some great memories. But, then there is the embarrassing stuff. The bowl cut in elementary school. That picture was double trouble. Not only the hair, but some goofy eyeglasses I used to have to wear. Then there is the senior picture featuring what my wife likes to call the old porn mustache. What was I thinking?

Mine was not a shoebox but my scrapbook, which was full of school memories, all naughty and loving ones with my best buddies and class photo and other birthday cards stuff.

Later in my teenage days, I had few cards and letters from my girlfriend which I kept in a small drawer of my cupboard lock and key, as I was really scared of my parents if them came to know about that.

But some years back I was just going through all those stuff and it was so much fun to see all those pictures and cards and letters.

I even uploaded some of the pics on one of social profile and got so many comments all from my old buddies and class mates.

Just love this shoebox idea and I’m sure everyone must be having one!!

Ironically, mine is filled with mementos from girlfriends of my past. Little things acquired that help me remember the good times. Everyone has a box somewhere.

My box still holds all the postcards that my (then boyfriend now husband) sent me. Then there are the notes that were passed during college. A Literature paper where I got an A. A stuffed bear. Some class pins and friendship bracelets.

Found you via a mention on Mary’s blog, Giving Up On Perfect.

For me, there are too many items to list, really, and they fill to the brim a large blue chest vs. a shoebox. I have everything from my favorite stuffed animal (early childhood days) to my team gymnastics uniform (junior high) to all of the hand-made Mother’s Day cards from my daughters. Priceless.

Wow Sarah, I’m impressed…you still have the first roses you received from a boy? And major props for keeping your head gear after all these years. Awesome.

My shoebox is full of “scandalous” notes from friends in junior high (everything is scandalous when you’re 14), the first roses I received from a boy, movie stubs, etc… but the best item in there? My head gear…

92 Dream Team figurines? Sweet! I love it. And a stuffed Alf…nothing says 80s like Alf.
