Now that Stranger Things is almost at its endpoint, one of its standout performers, Sadie Sink, is getting nostalgic for her eight-year stint with the series, beginning when she first joined as a teenager. While nostalgia often brings tears, for Sink, it has led to something else entirely—stealing keepsakes from the set. 

The actress might just be missing her time on set a little too much—so much so that she has gone ahead and transformed her own home into a mini-Hawkins.

Sadie Sink recently visited The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and, in a surprising reveal, disclosed that she had been holding onto a fairly impressive collection of memorabilia from the set. In her treasures, she included Max's (her character on the show) signed skateboard—a gift to her from producers—and a Walkman and Kate Bush tapes collection. She even managed to snag all of Max's Vans shoes that she wore throughout the series, though she joked that her space is getting a bit crowded with all these keepsakes.

“I took a lot," Sadie Sink confessed to Jimmy Fallon, with a sly smile and a laugh from the studio audience. With a dash of guilt and a little bit of pride, she told him about how her living room is becoming increasingly full of what she terms "a little museum" of Stranger Things merchandise.

It is not just about the keepsakes, though—the goodbye to Stranger Things is a bit more bittersweet than Sadie Sink expected.

The farewell of Stranger Things carries an emotional price for Sadie Sink, having lived most of her life on the set of the show. In one of her old interviews with UPI, she addressed such profound feelings, stating, "I don't really remember a life without it." That observation seems particularly fitting in consideration of Stranger Things' decade run, during which both its performers and its fan base have grown together.

It is not just Sadie Sink connecting with her emotions—producers and co-creators of Stranger Things, the Duffer brothers, have teased a powerful conclusion. In fact, their plot for the season's narrative moved Netflix executives to tears, as per Vanity Fair. While Sink may have taken home a lifetime supply of Stranger Things props, they can only do so much to fill the void she has admitted will always feel empty without the show.
