I have homemade Christmas every year in my family. Sometimes it's hard to come up with a gift for that one person. An idea I came up with last year and it went over well with my 17 year old nephew was a wooden chest. We made it out of yellow or white pine ( I can't remember which).

I don't know about your cousin, but my nephew loved it. ... View related article.
