Needless to say, the gifts were varied in nature - some were useful stuff like cooking utensils, some were ornamental pieces, but some cannot really be classified anywhere.
Maybe your parents got similar things, but I don't know if they got a framed Vaazhthu-paa (poem praising a person or persons) from anyone. I guess this type of gift was in vogue in that era and is definitely one that requires some amount of customisation and personalisation. That way it is one to be cherished.
This particular item was lying in the paran all these years. I chanced to lay my hands on it when I was at home, during the house painting time.
I took a picture of it last week before it went back to its original place. Read it and have fun. But I seriously request you not to bring it up in front of them. Ever.
