For all the parents who are constantly discovering little toys, stones, papers and other “found treasures” in their kids’ pockets and around the house, you can turn this childhood flotsam and jetsam into keepsake lamps.

One Reddit user shared how his mom kept things she found in his pockets over the years in a glass jar on a laundry shelf.
“I remember as a kid, wishing soooo hard that I could get some of the items back, but it was forbidden to even go near the jar,” justgrant2009 posted.

So, when his mom pulled out a clear lamp she’d filled with all his “pocket treasures” collected over the years and presented it to him at his rehearsal dinner, the Reddit user “started tearing up before she had finished talking.”

If you’re more of a minimalist, you might follow the lead of photographer Melissa Kaseman, who artfully arranged and photographed the items her child brought home from preschool.
Now I just need to find a lamp-like container big enough to store the sticks, rocks and shells my kids want to bring home from nature and beach walks. Taking suggestions!
