Homemade Gifts For Guys
By Jennifer Maughan

The key is to come up with homemade free gifts for guys that cannot be found anywhere else and that he'd be proud to show his pals.

Go wild with a themed free gift basket the perfect way to give him lots of little things he needs that come together as one awesome gift. Choose a theme based on his hobby, likes or desires. Give the aspiring chef a basket with some cool kitchen tools, exotic ingredients, a manly cookbook and some gourmet cheeses and meats. Let him know you think he's hot with a love nest basket full of adult themed romantic items like scented massage oils, a bedroom board game and other items to enhance a couple's alone time.

Keep your man warm and cozy with some handmade Christmas free gift ideas for guys. Make one of those knotted fleece blankets that require no sewing. Use the colors of his favorite sports team or a pattern that reflects his hobby, such as golf or NASCAR fabric. Make a matching fleece pillow for him as well. Use fleece to sew a simple beanie, stocking cap and scarf for him.

Go practical and give him a kit that will make his life easier. Create an emergency kit, 72-hour kit or hurricane emergency kit using an old backpack as a carrier. Fill the backpack with a flashlight, batteries, matches, first aid items, dry foodstuff and any other relevant items. Another kit ideas include a gardener's box filled with seeds, tools, new gloves, a garden catalog and other miscellaneous gardening items. Try a car kit, baseball season kit, camping kit or work kit, filled with office and desk novelties and treats.

Most men love food, so a hit homemade gift idea for guys is any snack or sweet, and plenty of it. Make your own beef jerky in various flavors or fill a huge tin with his favorite cookies. Hand-dipped homemade candy or chocolate dipped pretzels and cookies are other greatly appreciated treats, especially when it's a large amount and he doesn't have to share with anyone.
