To throw out craft given by DN?

We don't see them often. They are never likely to visit because sibling is an arse and not welcome here. We skype on birthdays. I'm drowning in "artwork" that my own DC produce.

Last time my parents visited they brought some of DN's craft endeavours for my children. It's still sat on the tv stand... I'm clearing out because my DC have so much stuff I can no longer clean. DD has filled a bin bag with craft that she no longer knows what it was supposed to be!
AIBU to just chuck it because it was made by DN and not DC? I mean it's pretty enough, but...

Do you really need validation from the internet to do some tidying up?

If you don't want it, sling it.

Clear out both from DN and your own DC unless very special pieces.
You can't keep everything.
Your parents only offloaded onto you as they didn't want it themselves.

I wouldn't give it a second thought.
Every year we get photo baubles/canvas/frames/craft/calendar of or by DN. They get disposed of straight after Christmas.
Love DN but we don't gave this level of stuff of our own DC, I'm not going to start creating a shrine to someone elses!

Take a photo, store it digitally, so you have a reminder if needed.

Right to the bin it is, feeling slightly less guilty than I did before. I take photos of DC stuff and keep the bits deemed special to display for a while.
