QotD: Gifts from Relationships Past

Openly keep, store away, or toss completely? What do you think should be done with past gifts from old flames after you've broken up and are with someone new?

Every past relationship is part of my history and has contributed something to the person I am today; therefore I think it's good to keep some mementos of those past relationships, whether these mementos take the form of gifts, photos, or whatever. However, if I was attaching too much importance or emotional significance to those things at the expense of my present relationship, then I think that would be a warning that there is something wrong with my priorities or my present relationship. Also, I think it is important to be able to talk with my current partner about my past relationships, rather than feeling that what happened in the past is something to be kept secret, and that includes being open about the artefacts of the past relationship, if there are any.
