I think MOST kids would love to have things that were made especially for them by their grandparents. I only had one grandparent and she wasn't a quilter or crafter. BUT I did get her cedar chest and an initial ring of hers (we shared the same initials). I refinished the cedar chest and my daughter has it now...filled with our quilts and my son has the ring...I still cherish those items even though they now belong to my children, who love them, even though she died before getting to meet them.
