Still in use wedding presents.

The cutlery that we have used at every meal since 1978.
Pyrex casseroles and steak plates. The patterns have almost worn off.
Various crystal glassware, though no full sets now.
Two very thick bath sheets, in regular use and as good as new.
Lots of kitchen tools.
An electric carving knife.
A stainless steel carving set - knife, fork and spiked tray.

We were married in 1976 and are still using a Le Creuset casserole that was a wedding present. Our main set of China, bought for us by my parents, is also still in daily use. The company - Poole Pottery - only stopped making it last year when they went bust. I still have a chopping board which my mother was given for a wedding present in 1952.

A Wedgewood dinner service (Petites Fleurs), canteen silver plate cutlery, towels, antique chest of drawers - and that from a small wedding and very few presents.

I have many, kitchen utensils, cookware, and a cane laundry basket to mention a few.

My grandmother bought an electric toaster pre 1970 and my mother was still using it until she went into care 5 years ago. Then my sister in law took it and still uses it daily 50+ years after it was bought and it has never missed a beat.

Mine are from 1971

I have a roasting tin and Pyrex casserole dishes which were wedding presents in 1967, they are used almost daily. I have cutlery too used daily since we married.

I have moved house and Country a few times and am still using a set of tongs I was given in 1971, I actually put them into a suitcase once when moving, I cannot imagine being without them.

A Moulinex blender which has been used every day and is still going strong, a selection of Chance glass dishes rarely used chrystal vases and a chess set that was supposed to have been a fridge freezer,My parents next door neighbour gave us money for a FF but we got sidetracked by a beautiful chess set and bought it instead .We still use it . 46 years on but fidge freezer have been bought and died many times ,we think very fondly of the H family when we play chess .

We have a Sears electric knife that was given to us in 1962 still working! My husband uses it every year to carve the turkey at Thanksgiving. Unbelievable that it's latest this long without any repairs.

Great thread - a bit late to this . Married in 1981, still going strong alongside a gardening encyclopaedia, a slow cooker, a wooden salad bowl and servers, a classic white porcelain jug and some Pyrex dishes as well as our hi fi unit ! Probably some other things I have forgotten were presents! . The jug has had a huge amount of use and still looks like new - I’m amazed it’s never been broken or chipped. (Doomed it now ) .

Small Old Hall stainless steel teapot, gift of four engineers I had worked for, in daily use for 59 years and still going strong. Assorted “best” china and glass though no complete sets of anything, various steel dishes and carving dish, and a red dustpan surviving from wedding present days. And an ottoman, recently reupholstered at considerable expense and originally bought by DH’s parents in 1927.

In daily use since ‘68 cutlery. Had to discard the pots and pans because of new technology. Set of French porcelain for 12 people, from 2nd turn, perfect but not much used is still in cupboard.

Oh I forgot the rolling pin. Mother presented that to me while the bells were ringing. She gave me a wooden spoon too, both were wrapped in white ribbon(I still have that too). To be fair the rolling pin has been more use that the horseshoes and the U2R1 number plate.

We still have the stainless steel carving plate and the knife/fork/steel that came with it. When all the DC were at home we used it most weekends but now only comes out at Christmas or when we have all the family round.

The clock wasn't really a wedding present. DH was working away in the weeks before we married and he brought it back with him so it's been with us over 40 years.

My grandma bought us a Kenwood Chefette. The stand and liquidiser are long gone put the bowl is still around and I still use the mixer and beaters as a hand whisk for cream etc.

We have a selection of glasses still in daily use. Some were our wedding gifts, and some that were wedding gifts to our parents.

Cutlery I use every day. I have lost a few teaspoons and they occasionally turn up on the compost heap.
I discovered I could get replacements on ebay. The wonders of technology!
Crown Staffordshire coffee cups and saucers, still in their box, decorated with Bewick Birds, only brought out for special occasions. (I see you can buy a set for £20 on ebay!)
Towels and sheets are a bit worn after 52 years and are being replaced -or not.
A rather pretty pie-slice. An ugly set of orange table napkins. ( I should have thrown them away but they were given by a dear gt aunt)
I love your story nanarose
How come there are so many rolling pins? Is that a "thing"?

From my first marriage in 1962 I have a lovely pastry board a cousin gave me and a standing sort of triangular stainless steel grater from Heals on the Tottenham Court Rd. I also have my favourite kitchen knife and a Poole pottery tea pot. I am sure there are more bits in the cupboards too.
I have 6 tumblers my parents were given in 1938 but I don’t use those.

One fruit bowl from a Habitat crockery set 47 years ago, first marriage, which lasted nine years only.

A teak sideboard with two large cupboards and three drawers. An ottoman ,recovered 30 years ago,half a dinner service,stainless steel dishes and some tupperware.Fifty six years old and outlived three husbands. The objects are 56 years old not me .!

The canteen of Cooper Brothers silver plate, in Jesmond pattern, that my father and mother gave us which graces our table on high days and holidays; and a Granton ham knife, that was a present from neighbours of my parents who I had known all my life, that has also been in continuous use for fifty five years. I was devastated when the original bone handle broke a couple of years ago, but I had a new one fitted at a small cutlery factory here in Sheffield and was assured it would last many more years. It will outlast me then!?

An ironing board, a kitchen rubbish bin and a clock. We've been using them for 40 years now.

I also have a lovely little handmade side table with a lift-up lid (great for storing a few basic sewing items in) which was a wedding gift to my mum and dad in 1955.

Two stainless steel carving dishes, spikes gone, carvers re-handled; two complete sets of cutlery; and an orange plastic laundry basket.....

The kitchen rubbish bin.
Knife block and knives.

A mirror and a magazine rack

I have several wedding gifts still in service after 45 years Linen, towels, cutlery , dinner / tea service, vase, mixing bowls and some storage items.
I also have cake knives and forks, serving plates, trifle bowl and cake stands and tablecloths that were my parents wedding gifts 75 years ago. I think some of them may have been owned previously by the givers as it was not long after the war.

Handtowels... used regularly since 1982.. they don't make 'em like that any more!!?
