Wedding gifts - that are still in use?

We use an electric carving knife that we got for our engagement. That was 22 years ago.

We asked for money to buy a shed and that's still going strong. Got married in 2003.

One of the best presents we got was a £5 Boots voucher from a friend who was really hard up (she wrote “I looked hard for something that cost £5 but looked like I’d spent a lot more but I couldn’t find anything.i thought you could at least get some toiletries”)

We bought a Ken Hom wok which was in sale and we must have used it weekly since! We got married in 1999

I've been married 30 years and still use my Arthur Price cutlery set I had everyday! Also got Edinburgh crystal wine glasses that i only now use at Christmas and special occasions! Also have a full set of China! Tend to only use that for special occasions now too!

Still using my pressure cooker, marble rolling pin, potato masher, slotted spoon, sugar, tea and coffee canisters and loads of pyrex mixing bowls. 31 years and still going strong

Our Denby will be celebrating its 25th anniversary along with us in 2 weeks time. It was used as best for the first 5 years. Like others' it's still going strong. I'd love for it all to break so I can get a new pattern
I also have an electric knife probably from our engagement 7 years previous to that.

I don’t think we got any wedding gifts apart from money because we got married in St Lucia, but for our first Christmas together in 1988 I bought dh a Sony clock radio. Its still going strong and his fluffy snowball comes down from the loft every Christmas that I also got him

It will be 50 years in October since we married and we still use some of our wedding gifts. Electric knife and hand food mixer, 2 sets of cutlery, crockery, glasses, cake plate, cake stand and other bits and pieces that come out occasionally.
