Having been blessed with this problem, I found the Boy and Girl Scouts, churches, and even just deserving kids to be the best use of trophies that my wife decided were no longer needed. I am certain the feeling received from the kids that ended up with the trophies was every bit as fulfilling as the event that awarded the trophy in the first place.........well it was at least equal to the feeling after a few minutes or hours of savoring the victory.
