Anything is replaceable in the initial stages. Details don't matter at all since there is bound to be a large selection of stuff that may mirror the exact same general qualities that you prefer in the object of your requirement. The key to forming a bond with something or someone is sticking to it through thick and thin which after some time reveals the unique magic that every single object in the universe carries within it. And that magic is irreplacable even with the most insignificant of things.
Such is the nature of bonding.
The minimum requirement for bonding to occur is the existence of atleast one sufficiently conscious being who is capable of comprehending extramaterialistic value in an object.
Just like the guitar of world renowned guitarist Jimi Hendrix carries exceptional value regardless of its make or quality or even it's current usability, in the end all that really matters is the magical value that can be extracted from something. Conversely speaking it should be realised that it is possible that even the most insignificant of stuff can carry much value , much bigger than its physical or monetary value and thus has the potential to be respected as any other object in the universe.

The assumption taken here is that despite the initial material value of any object, it is assumed that the final magical value that it is capable of reaching dwarves the material value so much that it becomes negligible.
For something to reach the full potential of it's magical value it is necessary to posit the existence of an external observer (external to the universe). This too we can assume for this experiment.
In such a scenario even a speck of dust has the potential to grow it's value to be equal to any other part or the entirety of the whole universe.The theory here in regard is much similar to the underlying essence in creating one of the most interesting geometrical shapes in mathematics, called fractals. Every single point of a fractal can be zoomed in to reveal another complete fractal of the same type within itself which can be zoomed again and again only to reveal an endless world of fractals, each complete in itself. Thus if the full value of all objects in the universe is realised we can come to the conclusion that even though everything holds immense value none is greater than another.

At this point a pertinent question may arise which questions the validity of having equal value for everything in the universe, since value of an object is always calculated relative to something else. If every object has equal value then we can argue that instead of assigning a very high value we can also assign no value at all to everything. These 'priceless' objects are now akin to mathematical formulas or numbers which are priceless in their own respect.
So why don't we get to comprehend the full magical potential of any object right away? That is a question to be pondered in another blog.
If the universe and anything within it has no inherent value or cost to it, it can also be copied and simulated countless number of times within a machine capable of doing that. Thus through this little thought experiment we can see that it may indeed be possible to simulate the universe to the 't' and if you would like to think so, we may even be living in one of those simulated realities already. We can also speculate that as far as the nature of fractals and simulated universes go, the second universe in which our reality is assumed to be simulated in may in turn be a simulated reality running on a similar machine in a third similar reality and so on. An infinite matryoshka doll of simulated universes.
