Things you can't let go

Sometimes, it is the strangest things I can't bring myself to let go of. Today, it is a pharmacy bottle which used to contain witchhazel. It dates back maybe 25 years, and was bought while it was still common for pharmacists to dispense that kind of thing, rather than selling a pre-packaged option. I don't use witchhazel often, and so it has languished in the cupboard. I've now used up the last little bit of the contents, and have failed three times to put the bottle in the bin. Nothing rational, just an affection for the shape of the bottle and the history that it represents. Instead, I've washed it, and I'm going to add it to a display. I'll just have to find something else to rehome instead.
To reassure myself that this isn't weird, I'd love people to tell about something that they keep for no good reason that they can articulate.
