DS uses DH's guitar, purchased in the early 80s.
Most of our dishes are from the 90s
Still have a set of "Billy" bookcases from IKEA that I got in 1995 and are still going strong
I think my alarm clock I got in the late 90s
I have some childhood books from the 70s that my kids read

I know you said 70s 80s and 90s, but I refinished my moms bedroom furniture from when she was a child. She’s 74. Ridiculously well made and in near perfect structural condition.

A T-shirt from my first year teaching elementary school in 1993!

My parents’ wedding china from the 80s. Still looks perfect. To be fair they never used it, which is why I have it.

Most of my furniture is from the 60s/70s. It has taken me a long time to gather pieces from here and there.

I have a guitar amp from 1967. I just bought it and I'm obsessed.

I also have a wooden rocking chair that was my mom's when she was a kid in the 50s/60s. It's in DD's playroom and has held up really well!

Oh and I also have my great grandmothers wedding china. That stuff is beautiful.

I meant to add that my daughter plays with my original American Girl doll.

DH....he comes from the early 80s. Sometimes I think about getting rid of him, but I keep holding on.

My husband! I acquired him in the early 80's and all the parts still work.

Ditto. My grandmother's china is from the 30s and a simple white/gray pattern that looks very contemporary.

In this pattern, if it gives anyone else here major nostalgia.



This looks like an online sales listing, which makes me wonder why people even bother selling used, stretched out disposable clothes like this.

Lots of stuff:
T-shirts
Cabbage patch kids & other dolls (my daughter has them now)
Christmas decorations
Old but not antique furniture that belonged to our grandparents
Tupperware

My husband and I (woman) have the same hot pink hair brush — Goody, I think!

I still use my moms orange juicer, probably from the 70s.

I have some Paul Mitchell styling lotion and some mousse, circa the 90s, that still does the trick.

mid to late 90s grunge/alternative music - from REM to the smiths and Nirvana— stands the test of time.

I have a striped j crew T-shirt from my mom (rip) that has never faded and is so soft and comfy.
