Scissors
These are probably my most practical mementos, which bring back memories every time I use them. When I started secondary school (at age 11, so a very long time ago!) parents were given a list of things that they should provide. For needlework lessons, I needed both large & small scissors. I remember going shopping on a Saturday with both my parents & visiting a haberdashery shop to choose the scissors. They were probably very expensive at the time - but amazing value as they have been in use ever since.
