DIY Gifts for Boys
You're not surprised to know that I love giving handmade gifts- whether they're made by me or someone else! The people I surround myself with love them equally as much- but I learned the hard way that not EVERYONE appreciates the gesture.
2 years ago Sam's kindergarten teacher hosted a $5 gift exchange. Five dollars, we all know doesn't go very far and I wasn't about to send in a chintzy dollar store gift. Instead I opted to support an Etsy mama who made the most delicious holiday scented/non toxic play dough around. (Sad to see that she no longer offers it in her shop!) Packaged pretty with a few additional sweet treats- we headed to the holiday party at school. I can't recall how the gift exchange went but seared into my memory is the utter disappointment smeared on the little boys face who got- handmade play dough and not a knock off action figure. #momfail Maybe I'm being too hard on myself- but I have no doubt that these 15 DIY Gifts will to impress your son, neighbor, nephew, or grandsons.
