The ~fancy~ TV armoire in the living room or family room so that when guests came over, you could hide the TV set (but your family never actually did):
Burgundy and Hunter Green bedsheets, pillow sheets, and matching duvet that your parents had on their bed:
A tapestry blanket that decorated the couch or the bed in the guest bedroom:
The rarely-used Campbell's Soup thermos that you saw every time you opened the kitchen cabinet:
And Mrs. Dash, which you also saw every time you opened the kitchen cabinet, and also never saw anyone use (it was the '90s so every family had one of these because everyone was ~avoiding~ salt!).
Softsoap hand soap with the animals on the packaging that was in every bathroom:
And a window valance in the bathroom — which got gross because of the humidity with time:

Gel candles that were usually in the bathroom and were NEVER lit and did nothing but collect dust that could NEVER be cleaned off:
And Home Interiors candles that smelled sugary and came in what looked like jelly jars:
One or two pieces of celestial decor and accessories that found their way into your parents' home because it was all the rage:
Halogen torchiere floor lamps that would heat up so hot, you couldn't even touch the upper part of it:
Large CD towers that displayed your parents' collection:
Giant computer desks that took up a lot of space and came with all sorts of cubbies:
And lastly, the extra long handset cord that was attached to the wall phone in the kitchen and that you could almost go anywhere in the house with:
