Do you keep the gifts (some of them are really pricey)?

Do you keep the gifts (some of them are really pricey)? Or should I let them go? I'm just thinking that they were given during the happy time. Also I already lost him, might as well keep the useful things. It feels like a waste throwing or giving them away. I kinda like them. Can I just consider them as consolation gifts for wasting my hope, love, effort, and energy on that relationship?

If the gifts don’t hurt to look at or use keeping them might be a way to reclaim something positive from the relationship.

It’s not wasteful to keep the gifts they were given to you you have every right to enjoy them.

It’s okay to think of them as consolation gifts. If they help you move forward or bring you comfort keeping them is a valid choice.

There’s no harm in keeping the gifts if they make you happy.

You can absolutely keep them if they’re meaningful or useful to you. They don’t have to represent the relationship they can just be things you like.

If the gifts make you feel good and don’t bring back painful memories keeping them is perfectly fine. They’re yours now and you deserve to enjoy them.

It’s okay to keep the gifts if they bring you joy or are useful. They were given during happy times it’s not wrong to hold onto them as reminders of those moments.

maybe pack it away for a bit until you can see those things without attaching them to it?

very much consider them as something you deserve even though things have changed.

i think if you are able to detach and not spiral its ok to keep .. ive kept the coffee machine and the phone... think of it as payback for all the love you done given

Yes, I've only kept the ones that I like, but I'm giving away the ones that I don't. At least I got something from that relationship aside from the heartbreak
