I think the Repair shop angle is a good idea, I think it‘s the story behind the item, rather than the item itself, for example one teddy belonged to a little girl who fled Sarejevo during the siege, her mum sneaked back home to get some things, and picked up the teddy too, which accompanied its owner as a refugee, then to a new life in Britain , as some one else posted the amount of teddy bears they do is crazy, would be cool to be able to commute on it like your dad used to do though
