You can learn a lot listening to buyers particularly ones with children. You hear about hand me downs. Usually related to clothing going from the older child to the younger one. Sometimes it goes with toys or bicycles.
But if you listen carefully enough you will find that
Sometimes Hand Me Downs Are A Good Thing.
You see it with family traditions like eating together, gathering together for Christmas dinners, family vacations. The family rituals often are passed generation to generation. You see it in special gifts that one receives like necklaces or rings that are handed on to a new one getting married that Mom "thought you might like to have this."
Journals from Grandfather or Dad are kept, scrapbooks are stored carefully away in a box in the closet or an attic.
What legacy are you leaving for the ones around you? Are you preserving them to be handed along? A hand me down is certainly more than the size smaller winter coat for the next little one coming along. They are your little legacies to share with the special people in your life.
