There are only a few days left before the main men's holiday. If you're still on the hunt for the perfect gift, you might find our tips helpful.
Bow tie
This accessory for special occasions and romantic meetings is an integral part of the wardrobe of a stylish man. Such a gift can be purchased ready-made or made with your own hands, which will make it even more valuable.
You will need:
- cut fabric size 15x30 cm;
- basis for brooch;
- hot glue gun;
- scissors.
Fold to the center of the edge of the fabric, as shown in the video. Repeat the same with opposite sides. Gather the fabric in the center so that it forms three neat folds.
Wrap the tie with a previously prepared strip of fabric of the same or different colors, fix it with a glue gun, trimming the edges if necessary. Glue the base for the brooch on the back of the "butterfly" - with its help the tie will be attached to the shirt.
Gym membership
Has your man been planning to go in for sports for a long time, but because of the routine of everyday affairs, he constantly puts it off until later? Take the first step for him! When he has a sports club card, there will definitely be time for sports.
Diary
Minimalist and practical gift for a business person. We propose to make it with your own hands…from an old book.
You will need:
- old book;
- notebook;
- a few sheets of thick paper;
- glue;
- paper knife;
- scissors;
- scotch.
Unbind the book from the pages using a paper cutter. Tape the spine of the book with tape to give it strength.
Now let's start making a notebook cover. Measure the width and height of the binding and transfer the dimensions to a sheet of thick paper, leaving allowances of 1.5 cm on each side.
Cut out a rectangular blank of the future cover, cut off the top and bottom corners at an angle of 45 degrees. Bend the seam allowances along the lines using a ruler. Follow the same pattern to make the second part of the cover.
Adjust the size of the notebook to the size of the binding. Trim excess edges if necessary.
Collect all the diary pieces. To do this, glue the thick paper cover to the binding on the side of the folded allowances (as shown in the video). When the glue is completely dry, insert the cardboard cover of the notebook into the paper pockets. The diary is ready!
Drifting in a sports car
This adventure gift will appeal to the avid motorist who is attracted to extreme entertainment. Drifting on a powerful sports car is all about speed, drive and an unforgettable experience.
Fancy passport cover
A passport cover with an interesting design will help you out if you are on a budget but do not want to leave your man without a gift. And if you take care of the gift in advance, you can order an individual product design from the manufacturer - for example, with a portrait or a commemorative inscription.
Shirt
There are never too many shirts - especially if they are made of high-quality and expensive materials. Such a new thing is also a reason to get out to the theater or a restaurant!
Batman T-shirt
A fan of films about the legendary superhero will definitely like a T-shirt with the image of Batman's main symbol - a bat. This can be easily made at home.
For this you will need:
- plain white T-shirt;
- pen or pencil;
- black fabric dye;
- brush.
Lay the T-shirt out on a flat, hard surface. With a regular pen or pencil, draw the outline of the drawing. Now fill it in with black acrylic fabric paint.
After that, take a dry brush and “stretch” the black paint with arbitrary movements so that small stains form around the bat - this way the drawing will look even better.
Wait for the paint to dry completely, and then iron the clothes with a warm iron, first from the wrong side, and then from the front. This will help set the dye and make it resistant to moisture.
Thermos or thermal mug
Such a useful gift will come in handy for a winter fishing lover, a driver or an avid traveler. Hot tea or coffee away from home… We are sure that your man will definitely say “thank you” for such a gift.
External battery
Energy-intensive external battery or powerbank is useful for a man who has to talk a lot on the phone. With this device, you can charge a dead gadget battery anytime and anywhere without access to the mains.
Collector's record
A wonderful - and certainly desired - gift for a real music lover. Collectible vinyl records are not easy to get and are quite expensive. He will definitely appreciate it!
