Man Discovers His Christmas Gift in Wall 46 Years Later

An Illinois man was helping his parents renovate a house they lived in for 53 years when he got the surprise of his life. Tim King discovered his long-lost Christmas present from 46 years ago. He was just six years old when his parents got him the gift in 1978. The bright red gift-wrapping paper was adorned with Disney characters. Inside the gift wrapping was a set of Matchbox thunderjets in their original packaging from the 1970s.

Her reaction at 1:45 when he mentions their rule is hilarious!

Lol thanking his mom at the end was adorable 😊

I luv the admiration and respect that he has for her still.

That gift is older than me & my parents.

My mom used to write on the boxes like this too, no sense in using a tag when kids tear into them right away! Her handwriting reminds me of my moms too ❤ so sweet

Bet that’s worth at least 10x retail now, maybe more

This takes re-gifting to a whole other level!

I bet it’s worth more now like that, in the box and pristine

Thats a major collectors item now, especially that is still in its unopened package.

Holy Guacamole thats a lucky find

He not only found a a gift from his lovely mom🥰
But a wonderful Collectors Item

The fact that the gift was still in pristine condition after 46 years has me 😳. Like, how was there no rats 🐀 or termites or ANYTHING that would’ve ruined it 😂. This guy must’ve been very lucky 🍀 or something. I’m happy for him 👏🏼. A lot of people would probably find their gift in pieces (if it’s not Lego of course)

Love the sweet smiles and hug at the end 💘

I tear up while smiling through the whole video. I lost my mom in 2021
