  We also value space and time differently because it is so damn expensive. The things you own, own you in many ways, so reducing them increases living space, and time which are both in short supply.

  Trinkets mean storage or displaying and dusting. Current generations are already going through a stage of ditching video, CD and DVD storage, and potentially book shelves too.

  When my wife and I travel, we try to buy a magnet that is representative of the place. It's small enough that it isn't an issue, and it's nice to look at the refrigerator and remember all the places we've been.

  Being apart of the generation that you would expect to mostly share memories via insta or FB, I actually can't stand the idea...it's mostly my friends who do this & tag me in the the photo's. I'm very much in the memento way of things, doesn't have to be related & for me at least it can be quite literally anything. I won't grab something for each place I go to but rather something that can define the whole trip. That's done, more subconsciously. Normally it's a wrist band (I tend to go to more festivals than day's out/traditional holidays) but I'll pick up anything, that last break I took was down to Cornwall & have picked up the smallest of pebbles but it's very particular to the geology in the area. Which to me say's a lot about the whole trip & the time it took place.
