I got all my kids Hope Chests. Started when they were 15, asked what they wanted, bought things on sale. My first asked for lemons for her kitchen, I still find small plaques, new dish towels, scrubbie holder, and get them for her. Even for college or a first apartment--towels, cookware, rugs, sheets and blankets bought on sale are a good starter pack. My co-worker asked if boys got Hope Chests too, my answer was an emphatic YES! and that I called them hope you move out chests. :-D
