Crafty Gift Ideas for DH: Ditching Presents for Handmade Surprises!

[nikkijo]

DH and I decided not to buy presents for each other this year. Instead we have decided to make each other presents (we were watching Friends and it was on their and for some reason we thought it would be a good idea, monica and chandler forgot about it as well), lukily were not celebrating vday until Friday because of our schedule.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can make him? I did coupons in the past and I'm looking for something new. Today is my last afternoon where I will have time by myself where I can make it. TIA!!

My husband's one of those that's happy if he can eat his gifts. Does he have a favorite meal, dessert, or special treat?

hmmmm I could make him a heartshaped cheesecake....our oldstyle cheesecake pan had a heart mold in it.....that could work.

what kind of things does he like? what are his hobbies?

I have a FABULOUS cheesecake recipe from my SIL..she is a caterer. I will look for it. It is super easy.

He LOVES football. Last year I found this cute pillow that says "we interrupt this marriage for football season". He also likes golf, and of course video games.

Make a (fill in the blank)-of-the-month club! You could do cookies or cakes or something? That might be too coupon-ey.

Make him a nice eye pillow-sew a piece of fabric in a rectangle, fill with rice, and sew up the end! You can nuke it and it feels SOOO good (don't nuke it too long or you'll burn yourself!) You could even maybe cut open a few bags of peppermint tea to give it a nice aroma...

You could always do the "basket" thing, just get a bunch of similar-themed things for the basket.

OH NO! WAIT!! I've got it!! Bake him a Football cake in the batter bowl!! There we go! You're welcome...
