I've just thought of a few items that I have bought in the last decade that I think I'll still have when I'm toward the end of my life (hopefully 30 odd years):

A Laura Ashley dufflecoat. Infact any good coat should last a life time. Op shops are full of them.

My collection of DMC needlework floss and my framed needlework (stretched correctly on acid free card). As long as it's kept correctly and we don't move to the tropics!

My sewing machine. It's a fully metal one (except for the dials etc) ... no reason why it shouldn't last another 30 years (that's how old I estimate it already is).

My vinyl record collection. I don't have as much hope for my CDs.

My hats, especially the good one I wear to the races, that I keep stored in a hatbox.

The Bistro cookware (saucepans etc bought 15 years ago still as good as new).

(I'll add to the list as I think of things... kinda cheering me up).


Things I plan on buying someday that I expect to last 30+ years:

A Maytag washing machine and possibly dryer.
A vintage Rover (car)
A restored house. (will restore in a way that uses good quality, preferably second hand materials that actually improve with age eg marble tiles and second hand floor boards) and brass fittings etc not crappy chrome.
I can dream
