I was a single mum and didn’t have a huge amount of money. I wanted to invest in something which would hold memories for my daughter for years to come. I saw a beautiful duvet set with white and pink flowers which was expensive but I fell in love with it so had to buy it for her.

My daughter is now 35 and the duvet is still with us. It’s a bit faded and thread-bare as it went with her everywhere and had pride of place on her bed. We look at the faded duvet and remember the special moments in her life… The first time she stayed away from home, the camping trip with school, the first holiday with her friends, the stay in hospital and even her honeymoon. Those memories are wrapped in the duvet and will always be very special for both of us.
