I had my "use it now" moment when my dad and his siblings were going through their parents' house after my grandparents passed. Tucked away in cabinets were wedding presents that had never been used, some of which still had the wrapping paper partially intact. Beautiful cut crystal glasses of various styles. The cards tucked inside the boxes indicated they were from my great-grandparents friends. I don't know what occasion they were waiting for over the decades. Somehow they never found one. (Iced tea tastes awesome out of cut crystal goblets, btw.)
