s/o of a s/o-Wedding Gifts Still Used

[HS Mom in NC]

If you didn't register for household items because you already had a fully stocked kitchen and all the household and decor items you needed, what wedding gift(s) did you get that you still use or you had to replace because you used the gifted item so much that you wore it out?

Not that exactly but for I think Christmas shortly after our wedding my SIL gave us a big, practical Pyrex glass  bowl with a carrying case and a hot pack and a cold pack.  I was appalled to get something so housewifey, but it turned out to be immensely practical and I still use it gratefully 30 years later.  I guess I’ve really mellowed.  But if DH got me a kitchen appliance for my birthday, I’d still be really ticked off, LOL.  Because that’s a ‘we need this’ thing rather than a ‘here’s a special treat for you’ thing.

Someone gave us a lovely hammock as a wedding gift but not the stand. The hammock sat in a box in our garage for years... until I bought a hammock stand and we used it .. til it started to fall apart. We replaced the hammock and still use the stand ... so not a wedding gift exactly but inspired by one.
