I still have my mini lane and my dad, a wood worker, hand crafted a beautiful hope chest for me

my family still does hope chests. these days its less about "life for marriage" and more about "supplies for your first apartment" so my cousins and I had needed supplies when we finally moved out! I plan on doing the same for my 2 daughters

I did for apartment necessities but it was a plastic bun and I gave it to the first friend that moved into their new and own apt. she was very appreciative. I would love another.

My chest came from a woman who's high school beau made it for her in shop class during the 1940s - she emphatically told me she did not marry him but it was 'very sweet of him.'

I received my hope chest at 13! It originally was my great aunts that her husband made for her before their wedding. My mom and I spent years storing away things I would need once I got out on my own.

I got a mini one from my late adopted grandparent and thought it was just a jewelry box. Didn’t know the whole history behind it! Fascinating!

My grandma has a full sized hope chest. It's full of momentos & special trinkets now. I'll have to ask her who gave it to her 🥰

My mom made me a hope chest but filled it with only little girl dresses. Apparently her only hope for me was to have a baby girl one day. I asked if I could just have the chest at this point and she refused to give it to me till I have a little girl......so I went and bought a hope chest of my own it stores blankets now.

My mother gave me one that was gifted to her by another family member. When they were downsizing. I use it to store my kimono collection, but recently the top has become a catch all for random things around my room. I should probably clean it off 🤷🏻♀️
