Crown Description:
Hold On To My Hat is not thriving. What should be done with it?Disambiguate between other tropes, such as Reunion Vow, Memento MacGuffin, Friendship Trinket, Tragic Keepsake, Returning the Handkerchief, The Lady's Favour, and The Promise
Redefine (and possibly rename) the trope as "Significant Lent Item" where an item is handed to a friend/relative with the expectation to be returned later, strengthening the promise of reunion. Basically the non-romantic counterpart of The Lady's Favour.
