Homemade for Men

Another idea for a homemade gift for men: Shaving Soap Recipe!

Additional ideas for shaving soap.



A heat bond neck tie idea where the kids add their designs

or a duct tape neck tie!

A recipe (note) book with recipes for BBQ sauces, marinades, stir fry sauce, salsa ideas, and last but not least fish toppings! (Maybe with a homemade apron/ chef's hat and mitt?)

A hat organizer would be nice...if he'll use it! :-)

A skin moisturizer:

Oddly enough, one of the most-requested gifts I do is 'boy balm and leather food' which is a very tough sounding name for a beeswax and olive oil balm I invented (I use a 1:1 ratio of wax to oil, and pour it into little Tupperware containers) that's scented with clove, amber, and cinnamon, or balsam (fir) and cedar essential oils...
every one of them uses it as suggested-lip balm, hand cream, something to deal with that dry flaky spot between their eyebrows, a swipe on a paper towel is all the polishing most leather goods really need (it IS skin, after all)...

For him to make: Dadcando.com!

He can make a science lab notebook and give it to the children with the idea he will do them with them...

A "Pop" Tub: Flavored popcorn and some soda pops and a Popsicle frame in a tub.

One last idea site: Happybird's Crafting

Alright back to "work" I go.
