5 Timeless

Family Heirlooms

Photographs.Even when kids can’t identify a roll of film, they’ll still fight with their siblings over that black and white image of their great great grandfather holding a freshly caught sea bass.

Seeing how records have managed to not only survive but thrive during the digital music revolution, we can’t imagine a world without them.

Vinyl.

Antiques (furniture in particular). Just you try throwing away Nana McGuire’s hope chest. Go on. No really! Try it! You just can’t? Aw. Well your kids won’t be able to either.

Fashion. They already don’t make ‘em like they used to – so imagine when we’re all prancing about in oxygen helmets.

Jewellery.

If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then heirlooms are her fairy godmother.
