Things that were passed from generation to generation have many stories to tell, and they have a special place in our hearts. That’s why seeing your kid in the same sweater you wore 40 years ago or playing with the same toy you played with as a kid are moments that can warm your heart in а second.

We at Bright Side were amazed by how some things can stay the same even after years of use, and we wanted to share the best pics we could find with you.
