Our kids are still too young for any of it, but we’ve had discussions about what they’d like. I have an antique teacup collection that my daughter and I drink out of every single day. DD has of course expressed interest in inheriting the entire collection, but even DS surprised us by saying that he’d want a few.
My husband is a professional musician and has amassed a huge collection of guitars, drums, recording equipment, etc. He intends to make sure that each kid ends up with a few of the more special ones that certain records were created with, but the rest can be sold, donated, etc.
We have a very small handful of art and pieces of furniture that I think that they’ll want to divvy up between them, as well as a ton of photos that will hopefully be scanned in before DH and I shuffle off this mortal coil.
Both kids are really sentimental so I think that they’ll end up wanting more than other kids their age, but it won’t hurt my feelings if they don’t.
