Oh boy, oh boy!



Ok, so far my mini Christmas challenge to buy only hand made presents is going well. I've bought for my sister, my girl friends, and my niece. I am making a quilt for my nephew, but that still leaves my my dad, brother and other male friends. Hand made for males are harder to find at local markets. I imagine that other people will be in the same position when it comes to buying for male friends and relatives this year, so I thought we could all exchange ideas. Here are some items that I found on etsy using the search term 'men'.  I tried to find things that would appeal to a range of males. There's the Crafty Apron for all those handy men out there, the Brown Barry Beardaclava for those who appreciate the quirky, the Vintage Map Cuff links for the traveler, the Unisex Upcycled Cuff  for the caffine addict, the Mens Set Of Three Soaps for the metro sexual, the Ctrl - Alt - Del Pillow Set for the geek, the Bottle cap Images for the retro man, and Can I keep it Monster Messenger bag and the Tree T-Shirt for the fashion conscious. If you have any other suggestions please leave a comment.

i briefly considered getting the monster bag for mikey, but then realised that i would really be buying it for myself and could just cut out the middle man!!
