Things you only use once a year

As I was putting away the washing up this morning, I realised we have some things we only use once or twice a year.

My example - pumpkin carving kit.

What do you have?

I also covet the after eight holder. So tacky yet so classy all at the same time!

Trifle bowl!

Trifle should be consumed far more regularly than annually.

My DM has the after eight carriage. She’s most upset that the boxes have changed shape and no longer fit inside.

The big mixing bowl I use for the Christmas cake.
Not sure I'll use it this year, haven't decided.

oh yes the cake tin I use for Christmas cake, could use it for other cake but in practice I very rarely do. And the brown paper to wrap it in when in the oven!
