Now that's a great story, BW. I don't save anything.I try to use things now and let tomorrow take care of it's self.
When My dear grandmother died, we found drawers full of un used sheets and robes and towels and gifts we had given her over the years. I wish she had enjoyed everyone of them, and left nothing behind, she deserved to.
I always tell anyone who receives one of my quilts, please don't put it away, use it. I think that is the greatest compliment, when someone uses what you have given.
Glad your daughter didn't wait to use and enjoy your precious gifts!
