I really loved mine it had several quilts that my late great GM made when I was about 6. They put diy books, tools, kitchen things inside, and even monogramed sheets and towels my aunt did. I start storaging away items and scrapbooks to but into my son's hope chest. My family did hope chests for my sister andd me.

He has a set of dishes given to him by our MIL, and a set of pots and pans from us. I plan on adding items like blender, toaster, coffee pot, silverware, glasses, etc. Although these items can't fit inside a hope chest we even have hand-me-down furniture set aside, a hutch that was his great grandmothers and a coffee table crafted by his Dad from recovered wood. It never occured to me to add Christmas ornaments, what a great idea! Next year I'm going to hit the clearance shelves. Thanks for the great ideas! We have a hope chest started for our DS20.

I had a hope chest of sorts, and it kept my parents from getting rid of things I could use when I moved away to college (like cooking stuff and silverware they had replaced.) They didn't mind storing these items when they knew they had a money-saving purpose. Great post!
