Historical Nighttime Accessories
Historical Nighttime Accessories are a Historical Character's accessories associated to bedtime. These were frequently called the Nighttime Necessities as well. The first set was released in 1991 with Felicity's Nighttime Necessities (without the book).
Originally these sets included a book, a method of heating beds or lighting at night such as candles or lamps, and/or a method of washing up in the morning. Until the widespread use of indoor plumbing, people did not do morning or evening toiletry care (such as face washing) in a bathroom; toilet use was done in separate outdoor toilet facilities which were kept outside the main living quarters (with such euphemisms as the privy, necessary, or outhouse), often a distance away. Furthermore, due to levels of filth, these spaces were not used for morning cleaning. Therefore, people kept morning and evening toiletry items, such as a basin and water pitcher, for simple daily washing in the private bedroom.
With BeForever's release of bedroom sets, practically every character received new accessory sets. Many contained items similar to ones from various older retired sets.
All of these sets are now retired.
