Gifts for MEN- list your ideas here!

[OTMomma]

We all struggle to figure out what to make for the men in our lives. So I wanted to start a list of ideas of gifts for men as a resource for us all.

Please post anything you are making or have made in the past. Feel free to include directions to help everyone along!

My housemate calls them 'comfy pants'. Basically pajama pants out of any cool fabric I think the guy in question will like.

My son asked me to make him a vest out of Garfield fabric yesterday...

I just found a pattern at about.com for a windshield visor CD holder to sew. I am totally making those for my brother and BIL

I just sewed my dh a pillow case for his special pillow in stretchy hemp.
PJ's are always good - the store bought ones are usually weird or thin.
My MIL made my dh a pair of pants and bought a longsleeved shirt to match.

masculine themed stuff - my dh loves harley patterns, dragons etc. He'll let me buy fabric like that no problem

Men have a hard time finding masculine bed sets - pillow covers, duvet covers and bedskirts.

Golf club covers

I just made my brother a coin purse, or "murse" as he calls it. :LOL I took a wee peice of black leather and a zipper, and voila! A place to put his change in instead of just his pockets. He loves it!

What about a robe? I'm making one for my 12yr ds. He picked out the fabric himself, he's pretty pumped.

I think these cigar gloves are a great man gift.
