Stuff used to have to last as long as possible, preferably even a lifetime. So they were sturdy, simple and unbreakable. Which items from the list below do you still use?
1. Curver sewing box
Indestructible: the curver sewing box from the 1970s. In brown/beige or orange/white. Many plus readers have had it for more than forty years. The handy compartments hold everything you need: beads and buttons, thread and ribbon, pins and fabrics. And if you no longer use it yourself, your son will now go fishing with it or it will be a handy beauty case for your daughter.

2. Wicker Coasters
Wicker coasters from the 1970s. For the pans and dishes on the table. Who else has them? Very solid and indestructible, although the colors did fade after long use.
3. Tupperware containers
Today Tupperware storage containers are often transparent, but they used to look different. Completely dense and often in bright colours, such as orange, green or yellow. Do you still have them at home?
4. Curver cool box
Another hard-wearing product from Curver: the cool box. In the summer you can still see them regularly on the beach. Can’t be broken!
5. Salad spinner
Washed lettuce can be dried in no time with this salad spinner. Do you still have one in use?
6. Brabantia storage cans
Brabantia storage cans. They were bright orange and that was a good thing, because everything was orange in the 1970s. The wall in your bedroom, the furniture in the living room, the tiles in the bathroom. Pure nostalgia. Who else has them?
7. Sinking trash can
The trashcan. Of course, no household was missing. There was no plastic bag and waste separation was not an issue either. The trash can was always very uh… dirty. And stunk. Until your father or mother took it hard again.
What old stuff do you still use?
