home made gifts for men?

[mamabohl]

I'd like to make most of our Christmas gifts this year but am really stuck on anything I could make for my husband. The only thing I can think of is biscotti. He wouldn't wear a scarf, sweater, or hat. He's not into sports. He likes coffee and WoW. Any ideas?

armwarmers? they're great when you want to use the computer and it's a little chilly.

my husband keeps asking me when I'll be done knitting his!

I've made aftershave lotion, skin balms, and healing salves for guys and gotten good responses.

Maybe your kids could paint a coffee mug for him.Or you could have a picture of them printed on a mug.

thanks for the ideas, armwarmers would be great! I can't knit, but I used to know how to crochet... The other ideas are great too, thanks guys!

You could make them out of fleece.

I'm so frustrated with trying to figure out gifts for the guys that I'm just going to make them all willy warmers(beware,it's exactly what it sounds like)and enjoy the looks on their face when they open them.

Ok,I'm not but I want to.

This is my dilemma, too. DH is one of seven siblings, 5 are married (so, there are spouses to shop for,too), there are 14 nieces and nephews, thus far. And Oh, sooo many more to come. We have one income and we are all about making gifts for christmas. I have tons of ideas for the women and children, but the men?!?!

Hey Earthmama369, I would love some info on how you made your skin care for men. This fits great with what I've got planned for the women (face cream and lip balm)!!

oh, good, fleece is even easier. And those willy warmers! Those are great! I just may have to make/get one of those for dh, he'd get a kick out of it, lol.

LOL at willy warmers!!

How about gourmet coffee mixes? hillbillyhousewife.com has several in the recipe section. I tried the cafe vienna and it is sooo good!!

Someone always gets DH the expensive razor blades that he won't buy for himself.
