Does anyone else have a very old gift, frivolous though it may be, with sentimental value?

A very old dog!
These are photos of the very first Christmas present that my husband gave me, forty years ago. This little dog is actually a pyjama case but he is still stuffed with newspaper dated September 1964. There are Real Estate ads. for 3-bedroom solid brick homes in Sydney for less than 6000 pounds (about $14000). This little fellow did have a name but I've forgotten what it was. Gosh, I hope I don't forget my children's names when they turn 40! He sat on our bed for many years but has spent the last few years sitting on a cupboard. Today I mended the gaping hole in his head where his ear fell off, and he is quite bald from me picking him up by the head all the time.

he is so cute. I adore old toys with a history.
