Do you have a present you have treasured since before your teens?

I have a book that my eldest brother gave me on my 10th birthday. Luckily he wrote in it otherwise I would have forgotten who gave it to me over the years!

It's called the July Baby Book (Yes my birthday is in July!)

I still have many books I received as a child/teenager. Does she have her own Bible?
I also have a sewing box. Tbh, when I got it, I was not enamoured to say the least. I was 13/14 at the time. However, I still have it, the hinges on the tapestry covered lid broke years ago, the lining is torn in several places, but I will never part with it, as it’s a reminder of my long gone Mum.

I am looking for a present for my delightful DGD. She has, like all the other 11 year olds, the usual toys, clothes and things galore stuffed into cupboards. She has her first French Communion in a few weeks time and has a large a large family so I am looking for something that she will be able to look back on.. Could you give some suggestions please of things you still have or remember?
