You would use data attributes.

So for example:

<div id="id1" data-description="description 1" data-cost="23" 
     data-owner="me" data-date_of_purchase="1-1-2014"> first purchase </div>

data-* attributes allow us to store extra information on standard, semantic HTML elements without other hacks such as classList, non-standard attributes, extra properties on DOM, or setUserData.

You can just do it like that. But it will not validate. HTML5 specifies the data-* attribute syntax which you can use for custom attributes which will validate and are perfectly OK to use.

So basically prefix your your custom attributes with

data-

<div id="id1" data-description="description 1" data-cost="23" data-owner="me" data-date-of-purchase="1-1-2014">first purchase </div>
