On the cusp of having a 9 year old I am aware that my full-time parenting days are nearly half over. (Hey I can dream). I have been considering a "hope chest" sort of thing to get the boys started for the "real world." I may call it a Starter Chest. It will start out small, with items that are timeless and practical. In the end I hope to give them most items that guys need in their 20's and have to call home.
Here is the Starter Chest list:
Kitchen-
-measuring cups/ spoons
-wooden spoon
-pot holders
-oven mitt
-tupperware
- frying pan
- pots and pans
- coffeemaker
Bathroom-
- towels and washcloths
- soap dispenser
- plunger/ toilet cleaner
Hardware-
- flat and phillips screwdriver
- hammer
- pliers
- level
- rubber mallet
- wrench set
- ratchet screwdriver
- tape measure
- flashlight
- stud finder
- crowbar
- utility knife
Other-
- hangers
- pens/ posti its
- magnets
- scissors
- whiteboard/ cork board
