Every single day I've used an afghan my sister knit for us. I'm always cold in our house and this afghan is the softest, cuddliest thing ever. It's great. Also: new knives given to us by a coworker and spices given to us by another coworker. Oh, and a picture frame - I don't know if you call that "using" it, but we did put a picture in it and it is on display every day, so I'd say that counts.
