Can I declutter a handmade gift, from my brother

[Polyethyl]

My DB is wonderfully crafty. When my DD was a newborn baby he hand made an elaborate set of building blocks. All interconnecting sizes, individually painted, in a handmade box. When she was a toddler she preferred the trainset. Now she's a 10yo its just gathering dust. She doesn't love it.
Were I to give it to a charity shop, has anyone else just given away something a loving relative spent days worth of effort creating.

I'm feeling guilty for even thinking of decluttering it.

any other babies in the family you could gift it to? would DD want it for her kids when she grows up.

I give away plenty of other things, but a one-off handmade gift that is actually useful is something I'd make an effort to keep.

Offer it back to DB, or ask if you can donate it to a charity shop, then the decision is no longer yours and you can be guilt free. He might even take it back and put it in his own attic, or gift it to his friends.

A charity shop might not able to take it, I think (might be wrong) that toys have to be CE marked. It is a real conundrum though. I think I probably would make an effort to keep it or pass it onto someone else with young children.

I would offer it back to DB for future children/grandchildren, it sounds far to precious to just give to a charity shop.

Store it away for future family babies. Sounds like it packs down small! Even if it was never a favourite. It’s just too personal to donate.

ok, I hear what you're saying.
At our parents house there is an attic, where the building blocks can go into long term storage, to await the next generation to be born.
But I'll probably keep the box. That box is a work of art, so my daughter can store other stuff in it.

Good idea OP.

I'm so glad you've decided to keep them. When DS was born my very unsentimental (until this point!) Mum gave me a bundle of stuff that had been lovingly stored without me knowing. Blankets and books mainly.

I treasure that stuff way more than anything else we've ever been given and am doing the same with 'legacy' memories for my DC.
