Jenny could have been like, “1: a paper clip, 2: this cork from 10 years ago, 3: a zip lock bag, 4: a swimming cap, 5: my first metal straw, 6: this dog toenail clipping” and I still would have been like “🧐🤔😮 very interesting!”

My dad made a gorgeous wooden trunk for me years ago with my name on it. He died 5 years ago and I miss him every day. I also have his original wedding band (my parents got new more modern rings a while ago) and this big teddy bear that looks like a real black bear that he kept in his office. He was a classy cool dude and his office reflected that but he just had to have this bear he named Herb hanging out with him in his office. These are the things I will keep forever 😊❤.

Yes, my family heirloom which is a wood and marble top table which predates ww1. My great grandfather won it in a card game agains a rich german aristocrat!

I love the idea of having a luxury+indestructible everyday object like the Georg Jensen bottle opener! To be honest it grabbed me right from the thumbnail, I had to know what it was.

My crystal collection. My grandmother passed them down to me after she moved into a smaller home. These pieces are older than me.

I inherited my grandmother's 1960s sofa. It is classic mid-century - I don't see myself ever getting rid of it.

I always loved rosewood, 30 years ago with a very thin wallet I bought Laguiole knives on which the handle is made of rosewood. Five years ago, with a larger wallet I got a dining table made of rosewood and I have all my meals on it. Happy woman 😊

I like rosewood too. In 1976 I collected a set of Prestige cooking utensils with rosewood handles. I think I have used perhaps 4 of the dozen and not put the wall mounts up for over 30 years stored in a draw all that time. My mother had a few. Too good to use and so the ones from her are near mint.

All my crockery was wedding presents from 2003. My oldest kitchen piece is a cooking salt container from the 60's I stole from my mum. I'm searching for a cookie jar to last me forever. Clothes wise, all my scarves are forever, none gets thrown out or forgotten. I've also been wearing the same winter coat for 6 years. It's just soooo warm, nothing beats it. oh, and jewellery and rosaries. The oldest is from the 1950's. Treasures.

I got the Wedding Ring of my great grand mother (who i Wasnt able to met in her lifetime, but who is described as very similar to me Charakter wise) for my a levels. This piece of jewellery is so special to me, i would never ever even think about getting rid of it. Besides that it's a classic, very beautiful and unique Ring, so i dont See myself getting tired of it in the fashion way.

I have a large trunk that my grandmother gave me, its from the 1890's and is full of my most prized processions , so id be able to save my most sentimental items as well as my favorite antique ;)

I wanted a classic Burberry trench for years and my husband surprised me with one on our anniversary this year. I don’t own any other designer pieces and I will cherish this one forever.

Top three timeless pieces: le creuset pan/pot Celine luggage bag A plaid GAP shirt that I have had for 15 years and still wear all the time!

What I would save from a fire: 10 years ago I bought a small cactus from an after Christmas sale for 5€ thinking it would probably die soon because it was so small and not looking well. It still keeps growing and blossoms every winter. 5 years ago I got a nightstand my dad made in 1969, I love it. It's made from good materials and is timeless looking, very mid century. I had to give it a light sanding and some new wood wax last year and it's as good as new.

I had chains fixed either side of my grandmother's wedding ring to wear as a bracelet.

Burning building scenario - I'd save my 1946 Martin guitar! It was my great-grandfather's, passed down to me by my grandpa for my 16th birthday, so I personally have had it for 9 years. Prior to me it was thrown in the back of cars, taken camping, you name it, so it's got plenty of scars. But it sounds beautiful, plays well, and has plenty of character. It may be an antique, but it still gets regular use and is the one I take with me everywhere.

We carried and took the subway across the town with our ooooold wooden dining table. We got it for free in an old apartment and I’m sure hubby and I will have it til we die ❤️ I’m sure it’s around 100 years old and we have already had it for 4 years

So so so great a video! Made me think a lot about my home, wardrobe and future wishes.. And the things I am grateful for! Thank you Jenny

My engagement ring, my nose stud (from when I got my nose pierced at 17, both are sapphire and platinum), my good luck charm from my best friend when I was 15, a diary that my grandmother started writing stories about her life in, my Birkenstocks, my vintage bedside lamp, my art deco dining table and chairs (not as big as you might think and so lovely) plus so many more. The older I get the more I want to keep and look after what I have instead of buying new.

A pair of earrings my grandmother (on my dad side) bought my mom from Egypt in the early 90s. They are gorgeous and I'm not thinking of ditching them ever

I have a lot of handmedowns, but the most precious thing is a wooden closet I stolen from my mum, she bought it 45 years ago, but it looks brand New. Its in perfect condition, without a clasic design with a modern take that will always ve on style

I really like this idea! When I shop, I think about it like this all the time when I'm deciding whether to buy or not buy something. Like am I going to like/use/wear this in 5 years? 10 years? Whole life? So here is my list: 1. Jewellery - I'm very selective about what I purchase, all the pieces are gold, match and are timeless 2. Jewellery box 3. Watch 3. Piano - I purchased it when I started to live alone and love it more then anything 4. Glassware, tableware 5. Woolen coats 6. Chandeliers

A first edition Picture of Dorian Gray 🥵 that’s my absolute dream ✨

Beautiful!!! Yes, I would love to see more of these. Thank you for this post.

So good! Nowadays people swap and change utensils and equipment every couple of years cause this or that is more trendy and modern. Love to keep and love same old items ❤

Absolutely loved this video!! 🙌😍 And your stunning jewellery! 💕👌 I love thinking about items lasting forever this imbues such a special feeling in them and makes you picking with what you buy. Love love love! More of these please! 👏

I will keep forever special items that belonged to my grandparents (born end of 19th century) and my parents (born between WW1 and 2). I have many and love them all, their beauty, history and significance. This includes their diaries, and some of their letters. Also the jewellery my husband gave me and special gifts from my children. They mean more to me than anything I got from shops. I will also keep my favourite drawings,paintings I've made, and my poems.

I am 60 and still have art and ceramics I bought at auctions in my 20s. I still love them so much and would never part with them. If my daughters choose to sell them when they inherit my stuff at least I won’t know about it!

Yesyesyes! Vill se mycket mer av videos som denna. Vore så kul om du intervjuade eller hälsade på hemma hos en äldre person och pratade om vilka ägodelar dom ägt under längst tid och haft mest användning för osv.

Seems like it's my general idea when picking whatever: may it last me as long as. possible because I love it.

I have a set of 4 stackble stools that I use for everything from reaching high places, to having them tucked in my desk, as extra tush-spec when we have guests (often!) . I just can't see myself parting with them !

Fab, more please! Big part of sustainability, minimalism and money saving that I think should be discussed more from sustainable influencers and people in general

This was just a fun video to watch and be inspired by. Thanks Jenny.

I really like this and it should be a new series!

What I would want to save from the fire and want to keep everytime I'll move is my Louis Shabner `60s print, red ribbon girl. Bought it from a restaurant, where it was hanging and I still love it everyday I look at it!

My grandfather clock, which is estimated to date from 1830 and I got from my mother. She inherited it from a Baroness in Brussels!

My mother kept everything and thanks to her, we still have all the things I remember from my childhood. Some of my favourite things are the ancient dark wood blanket box she bought in Ireland when I was a baby and brought back to Canada, my grandmother's blue and white tin baby bowl which hangs on the wall, old knives and pans that belonged to my grandparents and my grandfather's tall wooden milking stool with metal legs. Newer things include a high end espresso machine my husband and I bought with our wedding money. My husband is Italian and so I wanted to incorporate espresso into our everyday lives. He loves to brew up a decaf version when he has finished work and is starting to relax in the evenings. I also have a wonderful mortar and pestle that I will never part with - I have had it for over 10 years. It is cast iron and can double as a weapon.

What a great idea for a video! Thank you for sharing :D

Great idea of video! I’m going to do the same. My Hermès vertige cœur silver ring that I can wear with every outfits , my Alexandre Dumas book “Stories of vampires and living dead”, and my Mitsubishi mechanical pencil that is 10years old and still working like a charm!

I will keep my Le Creuset and my cast iron skillets forever. I even have some pieces from decades ago that belonged to my mother.

You definitely need to make more of these.

My pestle and mortar, my mixing bowl, it's really big and sturdy. My fine bone china crockery, my watch and my black wool cape.

That coat! I've been drooling over it since the first time you featured it on KZread. Actually found the designer on Fb and I am trying to order mine now.

My Ole Wanscher senator chairs 😍

My cast iron pan! My parents have had their cast iron for at least 10 years now and I can't wait to use mine until I croak lol

Have just brought a PH5 light shade hopefully will keep it forever . Important tax to UK was a shock but Worth it .

Great vídeo! I would love to see your makeup collection 👀

Definetly my Akari Lamp from japan. It’s classic and reminds me of my time In japan. 🧡

Jenny, ABBA and London again. It's so interesting and innovative

Love love love the outfit and jewellery, you look like a dream!

Things I will own til I die: 1. My birthday calender with all the birthdays of my family and friends on them (its evergrowing!) 2. A necklace holder my dad made for me 12 years ago from the top of a pine tree from Denmark, with the bark scraped off. Its so beautiful and holds my most precious necklaces. 3. My Japanese chefs knife and my sturdy, beautiful Dutch oven! Two pieces I cant live without, and saved a lot of money for to finally be able to buy them!

Still looking for a part time editor?

In 2007 I cleared out my parents attic. In a box of my old things I found a pickled rats brain that I preserved when doing biology at college. Somewhat a surprize. I put it in the bin. :) 14 years on and I am still trying to declutter the boxes I filled when I emptied the house; along with my own clutter that I long ago decided I didn't want to keep. More than half had gone, including four trips of the car filled with old computer equipment to the History of Computing Museum - many unique prototypes, rare items and documents. In the case of fire I would want my photographs but the albums are so large and heavy even if boxed I couldn't lift them. The negatives are in the folders of the albums waiting for me to scan them and store on hard drives. Objects however old can usually be found for sale some where. Things made by my parents, by me, and the photographs and video filmed can not be replaced - hence transferring digitally to back up.. I don't know what I will end up keeping but know what my parents had managed to do since the 1940s and 1950s including both a 2nd WWII tin opener from England and one from Germany. The dinner set of porcelain bought as a wedding gift from everyone and added to later. With its gold rim not friendly in dish washer or microwave. So expensive that relatives could only afford to add a single item to the set. Fortunately the extended family was huge as well as nearly all the village. A number of wine glasses possibly dated back to the 1920 from my grand mothers as well as lead crystal vases. For having so many dinner sets, tea sets, several sets of cutlery the house seemed less cluttered than I have (ignoring my boxes stacked up).but they had kitchen, utility room, pantry and dinning room and I stuff all my things into the small kitchen. Of the things I kept from my mother I have stored her engagement ring for her grand daughter. The wall clock I bought for them when I worked as a student in Germany and the silver anniversary clock (mechanical) I presented to them for their 25th. I have recently had both repaired/serviced. I also use the bed side table, two stools and a wall cabinet my father made in my school woodwork shop at night class.. I do have other items but would not worry about parting with them.

Well yes. The giant mirror-framed mirror I got for my 40th (there's Dorian Gray for you!) will never leave my side. My 5 KuhnRikon pots/pans are now 32 years old and good as new, bought when I was engaged, used every day since through having a family, I never needed any others. Most things in my home have a story, they have been with us and/or others for so long! Now we are older, we have inherited many beautiful things - 200 year old furniture, antique jewellery, handmade items by family members, china, glass, art, books - that we use and love and that will stay with us and be passed on along with their stories. No need to go looking to buy anything new or old, really, unless it's to complement or refurbish what we already have!
