mementoes
Tokens of remembrance
Mementoes is one plural of memento—an object kept as a reminder of a person, place, or event.
Travelers collect mementoes; grieving relatives treasure them.
The word carries more emotional weight than souvenir, suggesting personal significance rather than mere acquisition: She kept his letters as mementoes of their time together.
