Last-minute Homemade Gift Ideas for Men
Need to make something special for your Man and short on time?
we have quick and creative ideas lined up for you for homemade
gifts you can make in no time.
1. Themed Mini-Scrapbook
A full-fledged scrapbook takes a long time to make but a
mini-scrapbook will do the trick just as well. Start scrapping on a
theme. You could make a scrapbook journaling events when you first
met or some clicks from the time when you were seeing each other or
even from your marriage. See some
scrapbook layouts.
2. Valentine Jars
Dress up clear, plastic jars and fill with whatever it is your
Valentine is sure to like - chocolates, candy, cookies, anything.
Spray the inside of the jar with red spray glitter. When the
glitter dries, line the inside with white paper. From outside, the
red glitter on a white background will look very pretty and the
paper will also save the food items from touching glitter. Now dip
a heart shaped sponge in glue and dab it on several places on the
outside of the jar. Sprinkle red glitter over the heart-shaped glue
spots. Fill the jar with assorted goodies, place the lid and tie
with red ribbon vertically making several bow loops on the top.
3. Heart-Shaped Stuffed Ornaments or Potpourri
Bags
Scraps of fabric can be used to make stuffed hearts. Stuff them
with fiberfill and add a string to make an ornament. Paint,
embroider or use stickers to write something like 'Be Mine' on it.
Or stuff them with potpourri to use for closets.
4. Homemade Gift Baskets
Make your own unique gift baskets with these ideas at

All you will need is a trip to the store to gather things that your
Valentine will like and some craft supplies to make the basket like
containers, cellophane, curling ribbon etc.
5. Valentine Cookie Flower Basket
Bake some heart shaped cookies. Insert lollipop/popsicle sticks
on the bottom of the hearts when the cookies are yet to be baked.
Place florist's foam in a deep basket and insert the cookies into
it. Cover the foam with artificial green grass.
