Unlike other teens her age, when 13 year old Hillion Fern was given a gorgeous Easter egg by her father, Aubrey Daulman, from a local shop called Sharps, she didn't immediately tuck in and devour it.
This is because she found it "too pretty to eat", she simply knew that she needed to keep hold of it.
The chocolate egg in question is decorated with yellow icing in the shape of daffodils and contains a bag of toffees and chocolates.
Hillion has now amazingly kept the Easter egg for a whopping 63 years, and the self-confessed chocoholic now spends £80 a month on a cool storage container to keep the chocolate from melting.
Hillion, a retired wildlife trust worker says she still remembers the day she was given the egg in 1960 and she plans to keep it for the rest of her life.
The egg is stored in Warwickshire, despite her no longer living in the area.
Hillion, who has two grown-up children, four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild, said: "I still remember the day I was given it.
"It was simply too pretty that I didn't want to eat it.
"I thought to myself, 'I'll keep it until Whitsun' but I then never ate it, so then I thought, 'Oh, I will keep it until Christmas' and then Christmas came and went.
"It became a bit of a challenge after that to see how long I could hold out."
And she's now been holding out 63 years and doesn't have plans to give into temptation.
She continued: "I am quite impressed with my willpower because I have always loved chocolate.
"There was something special about the egg I wanted to keep and after a while it became too precious to eat.
"To protect the egg from melting I paid for it go into storage. It might seem silly but I want to make sure it remains in perfect condition.
"It's in Warwickshire but I have moved to be nearer my daughter in Wales but when I did live nearby I would actually go and visit it occasionally.
"The sugar daffodils used to be bright yellow but now they are turning a bit brown but the egg is still intact and all of the chocolates and toffees are still inside.
"I couldn't eat it now, even if I wanted to, but it has just become part of the family now and I will keep it forever."
