  • one small box with lid. very nice. inexplicably empty.
  • one device for filing the nails. i have never understood the purpose of this tool.
  • the remainder of a bottle of lotion. aveda. way too much aroma, therapeutic or otherwise.
  • one light fixture. that's a generous description.
  • one pair crutches. don't remind me.

  • two small dinosaurs. the jurassic period is almost over here.
  • a magnetic metal bookmark. in this item, simplicity is more valuable than innovation.
  • a tiny metal sculpture incorporating an alligator clip. if it were also magnetic i would have kept it.
  • black suede boots. sexy, yet unworn. pointy and pointless.

  • a small portfolio of fifth grade art. but i frame the best ones.
  • a tiny notebook. ubiquitous and so charming.
  • one kids' book. i want to keep everything today.
  • small blue vase. last of five, but finally.
  • phone charger for the car. it is a tiny bit dangerous to get rid of these.

  • three balloons. kind of a pointless toy, in the end.
  • a coin of no nationality. talk about pointless.
  • a pipe-cleaner pencil grip. innovative, but sharp.
  • a pile of pencils. of limited value when eraserless.
  • a pile of homework. of limited value generally.
