What do you do with deal toys?

Random question that hasn’t been covered on the forums. I wrapped up my 2 years as an IB Analyst and starting at a PE firm this Fall. I think I should be getting an office for the first time and was wondering what the protocol is with deal toys. Do people bring them along job to job? Is it weird to have an office full of deal toys from your prior job / firm? Just trying to figure out the norm in the industry.
