When your mini-CEO moves out to a place of her own, she'll take quite a lot of it with her. You might want to start a stash in anticipation.

My first kitchen was filled with brand new (if boring/ugly) box sets from both my grandmothers bingo addictions.

You know when you move out/get married and friends and family give you unused stuff that probably came from their cupboard and you say "thanks' and then shove it in your cupboard and forget about it because it's useless or ugly? That's what happened.

If my daughter wants stuff she can choose what she wants and I'll buy it for her.

Example: There is a large serving bowl with 6 small ones and a matching large plate with 6 smaller plates. Young people don't entertain like this anymore.

Still tides you over until you can purchase what you want.
