save time and money buying pressies, just run the offcuts throught the hundegger and make 'em. i'm sure you can get lincoln logs, building blocks, maybe even lego.

one of the best presents i "made" was a shoe box full of 1X1 vg fir blocks in semi random lengths. they looked surprisingly like railing spindle offcuts.
of course now my boys want hammers, nails, tool boxes and a cat's paw. unlike the toy manufacturers, tool makers don't put a 6+ label on their products. i just can't see a cat's paw being used for its intended purpose around my house.
