This year our home budget is so small I am still trying to find where it is hidden, lol So, I am thinking about making all this Christmas gifts at home. For the lady's (grandmas, lady friends, sisters-in-law), is easy: little bags for cell phones or wood boxes painted for the stuff you know we have (!) But, for the family guys... that's difficult... Help, please: what can I do at home with my kids to offer them (for the big guys, of course)?

For family guys you can make tools holder made from fabric. Old jeans are good for project like this. You can buy old over sized jeans in local thrift store for $1 or so...many usage... Second thought, Barbecue mitten. Guys love to Barbecue....

Great ideas, I don't need to buy jeans, I have a lot from my old panties. I lost a lot of weight and have enough to do several bags, lol About barbecue... I don't know. This family guys like barbecues but on the user's side: they like to eat, just that... Thank you, so much.

Well that's a good idea_making gifts at home. For the big guys_why not do something personal, like a picture frame with your picture and him. Hope this helps.

Guys love food. Why not make them each a batch of fudge or something like that. I think it is a great idea that you are making your gifts this year. The guys would also like wood boxes. I know my husband would use something like that for all his junk!

I started an wooden box for my brother-in-law, for his shoe cleaning stuff. I used decoupage on a brown pattern. I guess he'll like... For my husband, I will make a fishing bag for his worm tins and all kind of stuff they use when they go fishing. My brother is more difficult, since computers are his life. I thought about some pen little bag, or a nice cover for his laptop. Thanks for your good ideas.
