Continuing in our quest for homemade gift ideas for guys, consider these options.
Do the men in your life love food? Mine sure do. A great homemade gift that I like incorporates their favorite foods and snacks. Fill a basket with his favorite food items or even better you can make them together! When my son was younger we used to make one of his favorite snacks or dinners everyday for the week leading up to his birthday. Not only did it satisfy his sweet tooth, we got the added bonus of spending time together. What kid doesn’t like to help in the kitchen?
Does your guy like beef jerky? Consider making them beef jerky yourself instead of giving store bought. The same idea goes for cookies and candy. Dads love a heartfelt homemade gift like this from their kiddos. Take some snapshots of the kids making Dad’s treats and include them in his card or create a photo collage.
If you are looking to go more of the handmade gift route for those special men in your life, try an always popular no sew fleece blanket for those of us without sewing skills. Do you or one of your relatives crochet?
If you don’t crochet, ask a relative or friend to make – or better still if you have enough time have her teach you how to make the man in your life a crocheted blanket. Those blankets are warm and toasty and a hot commodity in my house on those cold winter nights! Add a homemade pillow to add that special touch.
Also remember to add a homemade tag or card to your gift. Add a picture inside the card, or a special poem or story for your loved one or husband. Homemade gifts create memories that last!
