My son got married and left dozens of StarWars and other collectible cars, toys and beloved things from his childhood jammed into a crate. I wraped each one individually in a brown lunch bag and taped the top shut. Now they stack neatly in a 40 lb. tub.
On top, I put laminated drawings from nursery school and elementary school. That is just the first tub. I know that when he opens this and sees all of these old toys -- for fun or for his own son -- he will thrilled. If I am here, I will be thrilled as well. If not, it is still fun to think about.

What a wonderful idea! You are a very thoughtful mother and your son will be so grateful one day.
I am doing the same thing right now! My son is getting ready to move, and I want him to keep his Star Wars figures from the 70s as well as Matchbox cars, electric train and baseball cards. While they may not be as sentimental to him now as they will be one day, I think the value of some of them will continue to go up, and he could always sell them to collectors.
