Dinner service, coffee set and tea set in regular use. They outlasted the marriage!

I still use the wall clock we received from OH’s Grandmother as a wedding present. We took it down recently to paint the wall and had to return it ASAP as we are so reliant on it for time keeping.

My Wedgewood dinner service and Stuart crystal, still used regularly; the stainless steel carving dish, much of the cutlery, the Ercol pine dresser, a le creuset casserole, some storage jars, and plenty of sheets, used for painting. All fifty years old.
Unfortunately, the marriage didn't survive.

Same here, an oblong stainless steel carving dish, a stainless steel teapot, a stainless steel colander....there’s a theme going here?

A stainless steel carving dish with spikes, the carving knife long gone but we still use the fork.

Set of Prestige saucepans from 1970. The ‘lifetime guarantee’ is true - they’ll see me out at this rate!

My 1980’s crockpot is still going strong.

A garden seat that is still in our front garden. A silver tea tray set, I use the sugar bowl at least.

After reading all the things we have discarded I wonder how many of us had wedding presents still in constant use.
Mine are a pyrex casserole with lid originally one of a set of three. The porcelain mixing bowl from a long-gone food mixer and a wooded rolling pin.
DH as well he was the best and is used a lot around the house from computers to online banking and arranging workmen etc. for 47 years.
