Ideal men's set
Do you want to make a gift for your husband with your own hands?
For the first gift option we will need: your man’s favorite drink, several types of nuts, chocolate.
We twist the transparent packaging film into an envelope, pour nuts into it and tie it with a beautiful ribbon. We make several of these envelopes. Now let's collect the gift. First, we put decorative hay in a wooden box, then we beautifully arrange the drink, envelopes with nuts and chocolates.
For the second gift option we will need: a wooden box, a car fragrance, a beautiful wallet or key holder, a flash drive with his favorite music. We collect gifts using the same principle.
Every male motorist will appreciate such an original and beautiful gift.
Presentation from your joint photos
An excellent option for a hand-made anniversary gift for a man could be your photographs. Make a selection of photos. You can print them and create an original photo collage or a regular wall newspaper. You can also make a presentation where words of love, appreciation, gratitude and joy will be written on each slide.
If you have video editing skills, then you can record short congratulatory video messages from family and friends for your man.
Marathon of wishes
Does your man like originality? Then this DIY gift idea is perfect for your boyfriend!
You can always complement this gift option with something more expensive.
We will need thick black paper, cut out rectangles of the same size from it. These rectangles will serve as pages from our future book. On one of them we write “For you” with paint or a white helium pen. On the remaining pages we write various actions that you will need to perform for your boyfriend. We create the number of pages with wishes at your discretion. Next, we connect all the pages together with decorative tape.
The person to whom you give this book takes and tears off the desire he needs at any moment. Accordingly, you must fulfill this desire. Enjoy!
Tablet with wishes
A fresh and unusual idea will definitely melt the heart of the sternest father! All you need is a pack of colored cardboard, stickers or glue, colored pens and markers. You can even completely replicate your dad’s desktop on a cardboard tablet, and hide funny themed wishes under each icon.
Original bouquet
Think you can't do anything on your own? This is the best DIY gift for a man, which is very easy to make. For our gift we will need a huge amount of goodies.
For example, we will make a bouquet of several types of smoked cheese, hunting sausages, smoked fish, squid, and so on. We put all these goodies on long skewers. Smoked fish can be strung on a skewer and packaged in transparent packaging film. Do the same with squid. We beautifully place all our products and wrap them in the form of a bouquet in transparent packaging film.
To make our gift look prettier, we also wrap the bouquet in craft paper. Craft is ideal for brutal men. Finally, we tie the bouquet with a satin ribbon. Cool, delicious men's bouquet is ready!
Postcard - traditional and win-win
A message in the form of a postcard always serves as a pleasant addition to a gift. If you decide to present your husband with banknotes or a certificate, then this also needs to be beautifully presented to the birthday boy. No one is surprised by ordinary cardboard postcards from the store anymore. Although the printing industry has reached its maximum capabilities, the copies that are sold in stores and stalls will never be unique or personalized and look chic.
To make a postcard for a man yourself, all you need to do is master any master class on scrapbooking. This type of creativity is very multifaceted. A beginner will cope with the task if he chooses a simple model. The main thing in this is to create an atmosphere. The card must be individual. In it, you should definitely write a text by hand in beautiful handwriting that will be close in spirit to the birthday boy - only what you will understand together. These could be moments from life lived together, a pasted photograph of your husband, where he is doing some favorite activity.
What is needed for a postcard
- cardboard or thick paper;
- scrap paper (can be useful for decoration);
- paper of a contrasting color for the insert with congratulations;
- stamps for illustrations (there are special ones, but you can use homemade ones);
- glue;
- scissors;
- thematic photo or drawing (car, money, fishing, equipment);
- thin cord or twine, burlap, tightly woven ribbons.

We take a plain plastic case and match it with a couple of pieces of eco-leather by color. We cut pieces of eco-leather to fit the width of the cover. One part should be 2 cm larger in height than the other. Let's connect them together. We glue double-sided tape in the center and hot glue along the edges.
We glue the resulting eco-leather pocket onto the case. This is very convenient when a man does not like wallets and bank cards are always scattered in his pockets.

Montage of a film starring the birthday boy
The next idea that will make your beloved husband surprised and touched is a film. Who wouldn't want to see themselves on the screen of a cozy home theater? Even the deepest introvert will be happy to remember moments captured in photos or videos that are collected into one storyline.
So, we are preparing a video in which you yourself are the heroes. The idea may seem difficult if you don't have the skills to create a visual product. There are two options here: give your home video with a written script to a specialist for editing, or create a basic clip from a photo yourself in simple editors. Such resources can be found on the Internet.
There are resources that automatically insert photos into frames or simply stitch together video fragments. This will not be a high-quality artistic montage, however, there is a very high probability of causing unforgettable emotions when you watch it together and remember how happy you were at sea on your trip, how you celebrated previous birthdays and holidays. You can create a potpourri of bygone years with footage from long-forgotten days. These are the ones that will especially impress a man.
Advice : don’t overdo it with photos and videos of just the two of you. Remember - this is not a love story or a wedding film. This is a clip for your man's birthday. Let his friends, relatives, and the husband himself be there doing his favorite pastime. The main character is the birthday boy.
Children's fairy tale
Does a young man love comfort and a huge amount of attention? Then this gift will be perfect for him. Buy a lot of balloons and fill them with helium. Attach your photos to a string and write an association with this day on the back.
Hang balloons throughout the apartment. The atmosphere will be amazing. It will be very cute and pleasant!
Gift for an adventurer
Even grown men sometimes behave like mischievous boys. If your husband is a lover of extreme sports and outdoor activities, you can come up with a real adventure for him. Hand him the map and tell him that he must find the gift on his own. Such a quest will awaken a real tracker in him, and curiosity and excitement will not allow him to leave the race. In the end, you can arrange a meeting with old friends, or a dinner in some place special to you.
Any gift can be supplemented with interesting little things:
| When you're always looking for adventure, it doesn't hurt to have a snack. In this case, having a heated lunchbox wouldn’t hurt. |
| The sun often dazzles while hiking, and your husband definitely needs to protect his eyes. Glasses with wooden frames will help you cope with this. |
| What if adventure awaits the driver? Then he will definitely appreciate the gift - everything he needs in one Auto Mechanic set. |
Unique wall clock
Is your man a businessman and spends a lot of time at work? He needs to keep track of time. A unique personalized watch will encourage him to work. You can make a watch to suit every taste.
In the center we write the name of your loved one. Next to each number we write what he should do at this time. For example, 9 - the beginning has been made, 10 - traffic jams, 11 - there is so much to do today, 12 - time to eat deliciously, 1 - time to check social networks, and so on. Such hours will serve as motivation for a progressive workday.
Lifestyle factor of the birthday boy
Stylistically, gifts should match the image of the man. An athlete can choose a reliable sports watch. Giving him a lighter is a bad idea, because it is a hint of a bad habit. Prefer fitness accessories or practical fitness tools. These include shakers, thermoses, personalized flasks. For a business person, prepare gifts that match his official style.
If the hero of the occasion takes care of himself, then look for attributes that emphasize his personal style. Suitable status items such as unusual cufflinks, purses, watches and exclusive lighters. These can be personalized gifts, or engraved with your wishes.
It is normal to experience difficulties when choosing a gift. Representatives of the stronger half of humanity can be picky. The gift should remind you of you and the memorable moment. Such moments should be given more attention.
Tips for choosing a souvenir - it should:
- reflect a character trait, yours or the hero of the occasion;
- indicate an important event;
- to be connected with a man's dreams;
- match his views on life;
- remind you of significant places.
It is not necessary to comply with all these factors. However, they will simplify your task and make your choice special. Use these ideas and you will be successful.
Heart filled with love
Every man loves to relax and drink warm drinks. To show how dear he is to you, you need to make this gift. We buy a heart-shaped box, decorative hay and various miniature alcohol bottles.
We fill the box beautifully with all the delights and give it to our man. Anyone can give such a gift. The man will be pleasantly surprised by your love for him.
Delight your men and create an amazing holiday atmosphere!
