Anyone who is married probably remembers all of the awesome gifts that they received on their wedding day. Our parents definitely stepped up to the plate with an incredible present, and we received a family heirloom that we got the chance to wear as we walked down the aisle. That didn’t quite happen for one man, as his gift was a bit less conventional.
justgrant2009 is the man who shared his gift with the rest of the world on imgur. Apparently, his mother came up with the perfect wedding gift and we cannot stop laughing. We won’t be surprised if other parents start to emulate this gift choice. It’s one of the most unique ideas that we have ever seen.
If you are a mother, you have probably dealt with the annoyances that are associated with laundry time. Young men are not the best when it comes to making sure that their pockets are empty before putting clothes in the hamper, which leaves mothers with the joyous task of taking the time to clean their pockets out before placing their clothes in the washing machine.
That’s why justgrant2009’s mother decided to teach him a lesson. She filled the lamp that he was given at his wedding with all of the items that she has had to fish out of his pockets over the years. There are so many childhood memorabilia here.
Of course, there is plenty of loose change and we expected that. We’d love to find out more about the story behind the name tag, too. This is a very thoughtful wedding gift and we’re sure it took this mother a lot of time and effort to come up with. It’s hard to believe that she was taking the time to save all of these items over the course of her son’s life, but that’s just what a mother does.
Her son is sure to cherish this gift for the next few decades and we wish all of the best with his upcoming marriage. We wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to emulate this gift for his own children when it is time for them to get married.
