All I needed them for was to help dry my Utilikilt after washing it, as rather than running it through an electric dryer, they recommend hanging it so that the pleats don&#8217;t get goofed up.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, for the past couple of days, I&#8217;d been trying to arrange the delivery of a package from UPS which was consistently showing up at my apartment between five and six in the evening, when I&#8217;m at work. I redirected the package to work, and it showed up sometime this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out the package was my birthday present from mom: a set of skirt hangers, along with a note written on a printout of the Utilikilt washing and drying instructions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  Look: a gift that doesn&#8217;t annoy or make noise or anything!
