personal belongings

Items you own

Personal belongings are the items someone owns and carries or keeps with them—clothing, phones, wallets, keys, jewelry.

The phrase often appears in contexts where such items need protection or collection: Please secure your personal belongings before the ride begins, The hospital returned her personal belongings after discharge.

The term emphasizes individual ownership and portability, distinguishing these items from furniture, property, or shared possessions.
