what a brilliant idea. Ready permission to use it hard. Forts and campouts and sleeping on the floor when company takes someones bed... My immediate family also thinks of quilts as "thank you for the blanket." not their fault. I don't want any sporting equipment or game apps they might be mad about.
for younger newlyweds just getting established I get a toolbox and put nail packet, hammer 2 big and 2 small of both kinds of screwdrivers, , measuring tape, short level, scissors...that is what I get thanked for later.
