Yesterday's Wedding Gift, The Unboxed Box

Yesterday we attended a wedding. We forgot to buy a gift during weekdays, fortunately, we have something on stock. Multi-purpose unit that is perfect for them as they will move in into their own condominium unit soon. We picked the storage-stool-box. And because it was a last minute wedding gift, we gave it un-boxed and un-wrapped. The couple, er, husband and wife, I am sure are cool enough not to care about our gift in its “bubble wrapping” glory.
