Homemade Gift Ideas for Boyfriends

Now that the holidays are approaching, it is time to think about gifts. A homemade gift that can be made to order and personalized would be great for your boyfriend. Here are some ideas.

1. Buy an inexpensive picture frame and decorate it with mementos like shells from a beach you visited. Place a photo inside of both of you together or just you.
2. A thoughtful homemade gift is to give coupons for services that he would like: a foot massage, house cleaned, dinner cooked, a surprise date that you plan. Use construction paper and decorate with stickers or calligraphy pens, or print coupons on your color printer. 
3. For a boyfriend with a sweet tooth make brownies, cookies, fudge, cupcakes or candy. Choose a special container to hold the sweets and decorate it. 
4. Make a handmade book that celebrates your life together. Include photos of both of you and places you have visited, keepsakes such as movie or concert ticket stubs or restaurant menus. Make it colorful and personal.
5. For the sports advocate, make a blanket that he can take to the game. Use fleece in his team's colors and applique team logos. Or you can knit or crochet a blanket, a scarf or mittens in team colors.
6. Make a meaningful video to give to him; talk from the heart and say what the relationship means to you. Dress up, be funny, crazy, romantic, but most of all, be yourself.
