My dad and my husband are both really really hard to shop for. My dad has read pretty much everything, and he always says he doesn’t want gifts (and he means it) and Aa never has any good ideas when I ask him what he wants so I have to spend the rest of the year listening for hints and clues of things he might like and then secretly noting them down in my phone. But then half the time he’ll forget he said he wanted that specific thing and be confused about why I got him something. We laugh about one particular cd that I bought him for his birthday. I wrote down the name of a singer he told me he liked and I was so excited to get the album because I knew he didn’t have it. And then he opened it and said, “oh, who’s this?” ha! So I’m always on the lookout for good crafts and DIYs to show the men in my life that I love them. Because the nice thing about handmade gift is that while maybe it isn’t exactly the perfect thing they were looking for, but they know you spent time putting it together and they can at least feel the love and thought that went into it! Or at least that’s what I tell myself! So here are some great DIY Gift Ideas for Dads (or any other men you want to celebrate!)
