I am still using my Charles and Diana Royal Wedding tea towels. Still going strong after 40 years.

My grandmother's hair brush, I suspect a 21st birthday present in 1917 .

My parents married in 1940 and I still have some hand towels which are still in use in eg the kitchen and loo because a couple are fraying around the edges.

My mother bought two expensive duvets when they came into vogue and I still have them, one is in use in a spare bedroom.

my potato peeler pinched from Mum's kitchen when I married over 50 years ago. Don't know how old it is but I always remember using it as a child. Still use it several times a week.

Tupperware rolling pin, butter dish, salt and pepper shaker etc from early 1970's

I have an electric whisk which was a freebie with my microwave in early 1980's in frequent use.
