guy christmas

handmade for men

This holiday, I’ve taken the Handmade Pledge. So far so good – as far as the women go. Then I started thinking of the guys and had a brief moment of panic! But, even though it means I’ll have to start shopping early (like now), I don’t think I’ll have a problem buying handmade for them, too. In fact, it’s going to be way easier than my usual last minute run to Best Buy. Here are some favorites I rounded up over the weekend that seemed like a good fit for my guys – and hopefully yours too!

I know just how you feel about the guy part of your list! It’s really hard! My husband actually asked me to exclude him, because nothing he wanted was handmade…until I decide to get him a hand tailored sports coat from a friend of ours. Score!

Lots of great ideas there! Nothing is better than looking into your stocking on Christmas morning and finding unique and handmade items carefully selected for you! In today’s homogenized, mass-produced goods that are readily available it really shows some insight to select unique gifts for loved ones.

Thanks for including one of my iPod stands from http://mjdinsmore.etsy.com — I have lots of other items available too!
