The waffle maker we got when we first went to the US (1998) still makes waffles today.

This phone was used daily in my grandparents’ house from 1973 to 2018. I inherited it and have been using it since 2019. Still works perfectly.

My mother (1962), my sister (1990), me (1994), and my niece (2017), all using the same highchair (which my grandfather still has).

This was played with by 3 generations of toddlers: my younger siblings, kids, nieces/nephews, and currently grandchildren.

A Rival Crockpot from 1971 — still cooking roast beef 50 years later!

My grandma got this carpet sweep in the early 1960s and she gave it to me when I moved into my first apartment. I love this thing, it works like a gem.

This is my over 35-year-old fire truck that my son now plays with. It still has the orange shag carpet my father put on the seat to make it more comfortable.

These were my first pair of shoes in 1980. My mother kept them for 40 years in good condition, and they are now my son’s first pair of shoes in 2020.

My mom is celebrating her forty-eighth wedding anniversary by making a cake with the Philips hand mixer given to her on her wedding day.

The bottom one is me 20 years ago when my mom owned this car. The top one is me now, the owner of said car, which has taken me to 9 countries so far.

A JC Penney hot air popcorn popper, purchased 1980, still going strong!

I’ve just been gifted my parents’ Le Creuset saucepan set. They got it as a wedding gift 40 years ago. Has had everyday use since.

My great-grandfather’s Elgin Pocket watch, made in 1917, was passed down to my grandfather, my uncle, and now me.

My great-grandmother’s percolator is still making coffee, nearly 100 years later.

My 1988 Ariens GT20 with a 60-inch deck and the boy who will hopefully still be riding it when he’s in his thirties
