My mom sent my a bunch of stuff from my childhood the other day. It was really nice to see a lot of it.
What kind of things did she give you?  Were they things that you asked for before?
It was mostly old comics and toys she had had in her attic for years. She just wanted to clear out some space, and I was happy to take them off her hands.
I would be the same way.  I don't trust anyone to hold on to my comics other than myself.
