Hello Kim,
This is a great list for the up coming Holiday season. I am blessed to have a bunch of guys in my life. I am sure that my Dad, Brothers and Hubby would love one of these handmade gifts.
Thanks so much.

My favorite is the relaxing hammock. I know my husband will love it. He likes to being outdoors and this would allow him to rest in our garden. I would try making some of the handmade gifts as well. They would be an amazing giveaway for my friends.

How about a 2012 12-sided or dodecahedral calendar. I’ve made one you can cut-out and tape/glue together at http://bit.ly/tq0xw7.

Hi!

Thank you so much for this list! I made the laptop sleeve for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loved it! Your lists are wonderful. I also like the list with 101 summer sewing tutorials.

Happy new year!

Thanks for a great blog!

This is a great idea sharing website. It is so true that men can be so tough to shop for at times, especially those of us that like to get our own essentials. But ladies, if you follow these guidelines the holiday season will be painless.

These are some super fun suggestions. I have started making my own hand made cufflinks out of wine cork and tennis balls. Recycled so the gifts are good for the environment too.
