I finished my gift for my groom. We're both gamers, and love the video game Fallout. So I took the idea of a “day-of survival kit” and made it Fallout-themed!

The photo above is on the top of the box. (I used the box that our slow-cooker came in.) And here's what went inside…

  • Two (2) bottles of Nuka Cola, to quench your thirst
  • One (1) bottle of rum, to help calm your nerves
  • One (1) package of Mentats, to give you an emergency boost of charisma
  • Three (3) caps, for last minute purchases
  • One (1) photo of your New Vegas bride, to keep anticipation high
  • One (1) plasma rifle, to fight off feral ghouls on the way to the ceremony
  • One (1) container of extra ammo, in case there are a LOT of feral ghouls

My husband has been talking about how much he wants this X2 Invader 700, and it ended up fitting perfectly with my idea, so I threw it in.

I can't wait for him to open it. I only wish I could see his face when he does (we're exchanging gifts at the dinner and opening them separately, later).

  1. this has to be by far THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF WEDDING RELATED THINGS.

    I’m stealing this idea, this is just too perfect <3

  2. How could you forget “The Vance to my Vicky”?

    Then again, that union didn’t end all too well, did it? Probably best you left it off. 😛

  3. This is the best thing ever and totally perfect! My fiance has the lunch box (I got it for him for a birthday previously). He’s played Fallout 3 many times and that’s his favorite one. I could reference The Pitt since we’re in Pittsburgh… Thanks for this!!

  4. As a HUGE fan of Fallout from the very beginning… this idea is above and beyond amazing! love love love it!!!!

  5. I LOVE THIS!! I may steal this idea, but change it. My bf (soon to be fiancé) is a huge gamer, but is more into COD than Fallout, but that would translate pretty effortlessly. <3

  6. This would be absolutely perfect… for me! My guy barely cares about Fallout but I’m obsessed. This would be so cool!
