So I am sure this has been posted/asked before 
but....our first grandchild (boy) is due in July; my wife has starting knitting various baby clothes but do you have any suggestions for what a grandfather could make? I'd love it to be something they keep (although I am not naive enough to know they will!). I guess it does not have to be something for a newborn and could be something to enjoy/use later. So something handmade but not too difficult (I am not a master craftsman but have some time on my hands to take things slowly). Any suggestions gratefully received!
Thanks all for the suggestions. I decided to probably wait on the toy box idea until they move owing to lack of space. So I went with the door hook idea....hopefully repeatable for other grandchildren though I hope the name begins with an easier letter to cut than "G" .
A bit of a struggle but within my basic carpentry skills. G is his first name, L the surname. Hardest bit was painting in a straight line as you can probably see!
Picture attached (hopefully). Admittedly a bit garish but it is supposed to show Giraffe and Grass (only G words I could think of that could be represented in colours) plus the playing kit colours of Harlequins and Leicester Rugby teams (the mother's and father's favourite teams).
I enjoyed designing and doing it so if it ends up at the bottom of a drawer I won't mind!
How nice to get an update.
A labour of love; the best kind of gift.
