Hope chests are traditionally just for girls right? |

I've never heard of one for boys but why the hell not. Particularly if it's your only child and you have heirlooms to pass on.

Boys need all that household stuff that usually goes in "hope chests" just as much as girls do anyway.

9. I Had A Hope Chest... It Was My Dad's Toolbox! |
|
Still have it. Lots of his tools were shoddy stuff I tossed, but a few were good quality and I've added to them...
I LOVE the antique stuff! A magnificent oak and brass folding measure, several well used wooden handled screwdrivers, a brass L square, etc.
My favorite item, however, is his old "pinging block" (I use it now as a doorstop) and also the ballpeen hammers.
Anyone can have a hope chest. Just don't call them that.
