love tokens

Sentimental romantic gifts

Love tokens are small gifts or keepsakes exchanged between romantic partners as symbols of affection.

Historically these included coins, lockets, rings, or handmade items given during courtship: He kept the love tokens she'd given him in a wooden box.

The term sounds old-fashioned today, though the practice continues in modern forms.
