Well I have decided to make gifts this year, which can be scary. I mean you don't really want to go through all the trouble to make something just to get that look on the face of "oh, wow thanks" we want "OH WOW! THANKS" and "how cool" etc. You know what I mean, yes it is a nice stroke to the ego, but you don't want to give someone something that they can't use or don't like; make them feel like they have to love it, or set it somewhere in there house.
So lets vow today to help each other out. So I thought we would start out with something tough get it out of the way. Men, they work hard, they love us, and we love them, we just want them to be happy so whatever it is must have some guidelines much the same when buying...
1. Useful; most men are not knick-knack kind of guys, make sure it is something that they could useI am thinking of of a gift givee' who tinkers in the garage, so I am thinking a bucket tool organizer so I will be looking for a pattern for that.
2. Tailored to that particular man
ie: I know I won't give my dad a tool caddy because he thinks an "allen wrench" is a tool that belongs to someone named allen.
3. Themed; race, sports, TV shows, or movie fans; use this to your advantage
For the car enthusiast I am thinking of wheel covers they sell them in the store but if you make it with canvas and cover that canvas in a team fabric...
these patterns are all over the Internet and for free so look around
anyhoo let me know what you think and also post your own thoughts
