Your friends have a nice boat tied up in Marina del Rey; and speaking of tied up, they have decided to finally tie the knot. Every week when the weather permits it, they take friends and even acquaintances out on their boat to enjoy the ocean breeze. They are the perfect hosts, providing their guests with plenty of food and drink, making their invitation the one you don’t turn down—ever. Their generosity and kindness has created lasting friendships up and down the California coast. Your friends’ wedding will be of course, a large affair and well attended. But what gift can you give your friends that they will not only need but one that nobody else will think of presenting them on this joyous occasion? You know they have purchased a small place in Marina del Rey so they can be close to their boat. What would they want, or need? Think Inside The Box And when we say box, we mean inside a self-storage unit in Marina del Rey. You have been on many voyages aboard your friend’s boat and you know their friends won’t be holding back on the gifts. Where will they keep all of it? Can you imagine their delight and surprise when they open your envelope to find they have their very own storage unit down the street? And the rent is paid, for a year! You just made their first weeks of marriage so much easier. Gift Strategies It’s hard to describe the perfect wedding. Everyone does it differently. When should the couple open their gifts? Or should they have someone else do it for them? No matter the strategy, the happy couple has a new element they can add to the mix. They have their very own empty space close by. If the happy couple chooses to open their gifts after the honeymoon, are you going to put all of their gifts inside their small home so that when they return they feel like they are living in a small warehouse? Maybe that is what they had planned. But wouldn’t it be easier if you took all of their gifts that are bigger than an envelope to their new storage unit? They could then return to their home, nice and orderly as they left it, with a giant treasure chest of gifts just down the street. This way they can open their gifts a few at a time over the next few days and write out their thank you cards in an organized manner. As they make room for all of their gifts they now have the option to move the storage in their home to their storage unit down the street, making room for the thoughtful gifts their family and friends have given them. When they get to the end and they send you your thank you card, they will express their gratitude and their joy that they have a friend so thoughtful.
