Gift ideas for men....help!

5 replies

MakeGlutenFreeHay · 19/08/2013 22:31

I've started planning Christmas, but as usual the male members of my family have me stumped! They already have hats, scarves, gloves, chalk pouches etc....so what to do? I think my dad will be getting yet another a hamper again, maybe I can make a few extra bits for my eldest brother but otherwise please help!

Any craft ideas considered - I knit, crochet, felt, sew (ok ish) etc but I'm always keen to try new things.

Are you on Pinterest ?? - if so you will find lots of great ideas with tutorials if you do a search on there - if you are not on there yet, shout & I can send you an invite.

other than that - boxer shorts are very simple to make & can be personalised - if for younger men, look at getting a jersey pattern & making some trunk style ones

link here to a tutorial & lots more at the side bar too

Foody stuff is always good for men too - some got a big xmas patterned hat style box full of home made cookies from us last year - I picked the boxes up really cheaply in a local tourist type shop - from £1 - £2 depending on the size - you can find these every where & probably online too - you could also make chutneys etc & box these up as a gift hamper with cheese & crackers too - or homemade chocolates - this could even be cut up squares of chocolate fridge cake - again nicely packaged

check e-bay etc for packaging

They can be nicely personalised, too - thank you, for the idea (I need some stash-busting and those will do well, I reckon!)
