So, your looking for homemade gift ideas for boyfriend for that special guy in your life. Rather than give the same "usual" things, you decided that you want to do something a little different. You want to make him something, but you don't have any ideas what he would like. Here are four homemade gift ideas for your boyfriend.
Make him a scrapbook
Even if you have never made a scrapbook before, you will find that it is a very easy homemade gift idea for boyfriend! All you need to do is to go to a craft store and pick up the book glue, ribbons, stickers, or any other decoration materials. Be creative. You could type up special quotes or phrases that you and your boyfriend tell each other and add then to your scrapbook. Once you get started, you will have so much fun creating this gift for that special guy in your life.
Make him a CD
This homemade gift idea for boyfriend can be a lot of fun to make. You probably already know what his favorite songs are or who his favorite singers are , but if you don't know, just ask him. Then burn them onto a CD. You can also "sneak" in the first song you and he danced to, or the song that reminds you of him.
Coupon Book
A fun homemade gift idea for your boyfriend would be a coupon book. All you have to do is make a list off all the things you know he enjoys such as a back rub, or a night out with the guys and type them up on your computer. You can get really creative with them and make them look like a coupon you would cut out of the newspaper.
Bake him some cookies
What guy would not absolutely love a batch of homemade cookies? If you love to bake, this would be a great homemade gift idea for your boyfriend! Here is a quick recipe for homemade chocolate chip cookies.
