Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

i normally toss em. if i feel i absolutely have no use for them i'll toss it. but if the favor is from someone who's truly special to me then i would consider keeping it. i have enough clutter as it is so i feel any added objects is too much for me to handle. doesn't matter if the favor's a mini anything.

toss everything. The only person's I ever kept was from my cousin's wedding (also my MOH) ... I'm saving it for her 25th Anniversary and will give her the favor, match books, menu's, thank you's, donation scrolls, etc's in a gift basket.

I do, I'm very sentimental like that.

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

It truly depends on what the favor was and how close I was to the couple in question

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

I rarely save anything...I HATE clutter...usually I toss...there was only one or two favors from recent weddings that I went to that I saved...

if is like it i keep it...if not i toss it

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

Depends on what it is...if its a trinket I toss it, if I can use it (wine stopper, bottle opener, etc.) then I keep it. I like 'usable' favors...

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

I keep them, but I don't want to. A lot of the time I keep them ebcause I feel abd throwing them out, but I'm about to do some serious cleaning, and I'm goign to throw most of it out. The only things I've really kept and liked were things that I had a particular interest in. I got a dolphin bottle openner and I love dolphins, or else I'd have tossed it. I have one heart wine stopper I use and I throw away all subsequent ones. measuring cups and spoons I'm going t use. I'm a big baker. My sister gave out these little mikasa bowls and they match everything and I definitey use them with candles. I perosnally can't stand anything with the couple's name on it. My cousin, who I love very dearly gave out vases with his name and his wife's name and the date. What am i going to do with it, seriously?

So the answer is, if I cna use them Ill keep the, if not I eventually throw them out. FH keeps all of the yarmulkes he gets from events and then when we use them at passover or something you can be like 'oh this is form so and so's wedding' or whatever..but that's something somewhat useful..but I don't know what to do with the 2 dozen of them that he has..lol

me too

Depends on who it is from and what it is! If it were my sister and it was something stupid Id keep it. If I got a winestopper from someone I could care less about, Id keep it.

Most of the time they don't even make it home with me. If they do, though, I toss them.

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

depends on what it is. If it's something I can use then I'll keep it. If not then I toss it.

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

Depends on what it is, if it is useful I keep it, ugly or knicknack, I get rid of it. I rarely throw away though. I usually give it to someone who might want it or donate to thrift store.

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

It depends - I prefer favors that I can either use or eat (yum), but if the favor is from someone I'm really close to, then I'll save it - at least for a little while.

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

toss them

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

toss- unless i can use it and WILL use it or i can eat it

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

It depends. Some things I can use (like the simple, crystal ice bucket from my MOH's wedding) some things I have enough of (candles)

Food-gets eaten.

Re: Be HONEST! do you keep favors from special events or just toss em? explain.

Oh yeah, if it is something nice but not my style (like a candle holder or picture frame) I may regift it to a person who I don't know well.
