Any Ideas for a Daughter present who is having the first grandchild?  Gotta be gender neutral at this point since we don't know.

Duct tape? :lol:

 

I gave some to my old boss as a gag gift when he and his wife had their 1st child ( along with a rubber squeaky duck). He later commented on how useful duct tape was for attaching those disposable diapers even though we gave it to him as a joke.

 

 

If you are looking for a metal working project, maybe some sort of mobile for above the crib made from hammered copper and wrought iron.

make her/him a hammer to get an early start as a smith. All kids love to bash things :) the Mobile is a great idea too

My daughter loves this set I made her. Constant tapping away at the moment



Or, how about 12 little forged picture frames, or 12 openinings in one large picture frame. Then a photo of the little'un can be added each month until they reach 1. Amazing how quick they grow so always nice to have a set of photos throughout that first year.

Good Ideas curly..   Mobile good idea too!

Curly.   You need a hardy hole.   Then you can provide additional tools to work with the play dough on that anvil.

As she grows up I'll have to add to it :) I already need to re-grind the face of the anvil due to bad hammer technique... Will have to also make up some wooden tongs as well!

The Florida Clinker Breaker archives has a nice rr spike teething ring!

 

 

They even have a nice quenching  idea for it!
  

 

 

 

Congrats on the new Grandbaby by the way! :)
