My husband gave his mother candy dishes, various sizes and shapes.
When we finally get them, my husband will want to display them.
Many ideas o how you would display them?
No donating... my husband would not be ready for that.
And how do you display your special treasures?

Do you have a curio cabinet? What about using them as catchall dishes around the house?

Take them and divide by two or three. Have a smaller space to display 1/2 or 1/3 of them and change them out every few months.

My dh made a built in hutch in the dining room. I use it to display my vintage pyrex and holiday decor. I swap out things depending on the season etc.
I agree with only putting a few things out at a time and rotating if possible. Especially if it's not your style, that way you won't feel so overwhelmed etc by it.

I was going to suggest a curio cabinet too. I have a bunch of dolls that my parents would buy me when they traveled. I have them in a curio cabinet and it's one of my favorite keepsakes.

On a long console type table. With each candy dish filled with a favorite candy. If you have to have knick knack type treasures on display, the treasures may as well be useful.   |

I would suggest a curio cabinet with glass doors unless you like dusting!

We have a dresser in the dining room that displays our inherited china. We haven't a huge amount, but like your DH, we're not ready to throw any of it out. Some of it does get used as well.

We have a tall slinny oriental style display case that is mostly glass that I display the portion of my mother's jade collection that I inherited. Also displayed are other treasures from my childhood and from my mother.
