When hostJimmy Fallonasked if she took anything from set, Sink admitted she “took a lot.”

“Well, just like the essentials, you know,” she continued. “I needed Max’s skateboard, which that was actually gifted to me, the skateboard, cool. I’ve got some Walkmans, some Kate Bush cassette sand some vans and stuff. Like, every shoe that she’s worn.”

Though she joked her home is becoming a “little museum” ofStranger Thingsmemorabilia, she added that she needed to be “careful” because her space was slowly growing more crowded.
