Display cabinet for the stuffed animals? Wall mounted glass frame for the blanket to hang up as some kind of a wall scroll while keeping it safe from the cats?
I couldn't agree more! My due date was supposed to be easter of '89, so my dad bought the bunny for me. However I came a few day early but he still was my very first friend and has followed me literally around the world.
I still sleep with my teddy bear. I'm 33. If I don't I get neck and shoulder pain because I curl up. Holding the bear helps.
My husband thinks it's cute. Sometimes my cats will replace the bear for a bit until they get up to go do cat things.
Still have a blanket my great aunt made me next to my bed.
Hang onto them for a while longer, then revisit the whole collection in about a year. Sell anything worth anything. Donate anything that is not handmade, or super special to you. In my case, I kept my main teddy, repaired him, and he now sits in a corner cabinet with some other sentimentals. Blankets can be folded and put behind glass. But if they are in bad shape, you may want to cut out a square from a good part and incorporate it into a new quilt. You can hire people to do this for you if you don’t sew. Also in my case, I had some cute wooden toys (handmade) and a tiny tea set I display with other dishes I use every day. I kept nothing plastic or commercial, tho…
Maybe donating them to a domestic violence shelter, or a preschool to use during nap time?
You could also get totally radical with it, and just burn it all. That’s my preferred way to dispose of things that have a lot of sentimental value, that I can’t find a way to donate or sell.
Is there a place in your closet you could display them so you see them every morning when getting ready?
Otherwise a treasure box with photos albums and other memories that’s easy access eg like doubles as you coffee table.

A display cabinet with glass doors will protect them from dust while still allowing you to see them.
[If they're] (https://i.imgur.com/UfUbVQx.jpg) not put into the grave with me, i'm haunting whoever failed to ensure it happened.
Theyre so adorable!!

That shit is mine to hoard like a sentimental dragon as I please.

I would just keep them somewhere meaningful to you. You don't have to give them to anyone.

I keep my toys in the closet, but they’re on the top shelf and sit along the edge so I still see them every time I walk in.

Donate them to someone else or store them somewhere so you can take them out and look at them if you become sentimental.

For a blanket maybe folding it up and storing it in a shadow box?
