My uncle gave me an old bombshell on my 16th birthday. He had it since he was in college. It was taped shut with instructions not to open til I was 21.
On my 21st birthday I opened it to find about a dozen small objects each with symbolic meaning.
i.e.
A fishhook: teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.
A sand dollar: true value is not always defined by money
Etc...
He had faith that I would turn into the kind of young man that would appreciate it. Still my favorite gift ever.
