Weekend 187 ~ unusual wedding gift
Happy first weekend of the year and happy new year to everyone here in the weekend experience community.
It is another weekend and I'm super excited cause I ain't going to work, it will be time to rest and plan for the coming week, and every weekend we get to share our experiences as well For this weekend's engagement, I'll share with y'all my experience on:
Mostly weekends are when weddings take place and the wedding means gifts, what's the best or worst, funniest, most unusual quirky wedding gift you've been given, received, heard about, or seen? Remember to use your photo.

In Nigeria, they say weekends are for "owambe" It's a Yoruba (western Nigeria) word used to describe a lavish party that involves plenty of food and drinks. There was a day I visited my aunt and she told me about an unusual wedding gift she received but at the same time very thoughtful of the person who gifted her.
She said two days after her wedding she decided to unwrap all the gifts she got, in the process of unwrapping, she unwrapped a detergent, someone gifted her a very big pack of detergent, I smiled because it was my first time hearing something like. She said at first she was confused cause she had never seen anyone gift couples that but as time went on, she started making use of the detergent to wash her dishes, and clothes, and clean her house, and she used it for so many things, she gave some out to relatives cause it was very big, she used the detergent for five months.
In her words: despite the wedding gift being unusual it was very thoughtful of the person that gave her such and she so much appreciated it, tho she doesn't know who it was from cause it was wrapped and she is grateful to the person. She also intends to gift someone a very big pack of detergent.
My thoughts
When I first heard it I laughed hard but then in my quiet era I went back and thought of it, It's very thoughtful and unique, not like other gifts aren't important but this particular one is rare, and for someone to think of it as a gift and get it for you, is incredible.
