I have nothing from my childhood but photographs, some of my parents' personal effects, and the same two pillows I've had since I was 5.
After my dad was killed and we eventually moved out of our house, we ended up selling it privately, contents and all. Just couldn't be bothered to move everything out, sell off what we didn't want or couldn't keep, and store what we did want.
Sometimes I wish I still had some stuff, like favourite books to pass down, and now that I'm an adult - all of our heirloom China that I now appreciate the value of. But ehhh, it's still just stuff, and I am more grateful for having learned what's truly valuable in life as opposed to possessing a bunch of crap.
I am fully a minimalist, and I purge my closets and home regularly of clothes and things I acquire over the years. The only things I really hold onto now are books.

It's not about materialism. Certain objects trigger memories of my childhood I've long forgotten. And that's important to me.
I'm selling a bunch of stuff I bought working at a toy store while in high school. It has no sentimental value so I'm getting rid of it.
