We have recieved a number of wedding gifts that we have not yet (nor might ever) used.
Some of these things were quite expensive, and most are very nice.
we just dont have much call for using a Waterford crystal rose bowl.
when we got it, i joked with my mom about using it to hold candy.
so, really, it should thrill her that we actually used it.
Of course, she might not be thrilled that we put the fish in it while brandus cleaned the aquarium, but what she doesnt know wont hurt her.
