DIY birthday gift ideas for a man

No matter how old a man is, he meets his birthday with a great mood, since this holiday promises many pleasant and exciting moments. Do-it-yourself gifts will not leave indifferent the heart of the birthday person. Such gifts show the attention of relatives and friends to the hero of the occasion.

Consider several options for such handmade presentations.

It is not customary to give sweets to a man for his birthday; it is believed that a strong half of humanity is indifferent to them. The truth is that both women and men love candy, they just feel embarrassed to talk about it. You can present the hero of the occasion with a sweet present in a veiled form, presenting it in the form of a handmade flower bouquet made of sweets. Such a bouquet is also good because after the holiday it can be added to tea drinking.

A candy bouquet will look good on a festive table, creating an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the room. Small candies in a shiny wrapper are better suited for a bouquet; 5 pieces are required for one "flower".

The product is performed step by step.

1. The candies are folded into a bunch (5 pieces), the twisted ends of the wrappers are tied on one side with a strong thread or ribbon.
2. The resulting bundle is overturned in the opposite direction.
3. A simple or curly cocktail straw is inserted inside the tightened edges, fixed with a strong thread.
4. The loose wrap ends of the chocolates flatten out nicely.

A bouquet of sweets is placed in a vase that you can make yourself.

A homemade vase requires a wide-necked glass bottle, colored threads or twine, PVA glue, scissors, and a piece of colored tape.

1. A bottle greased with glue is completely wrapped with twine (the whole bottle is not smeared at once, since the glue dries quickly), avoiding gaps.
2. A colored ribbon is tied on the finished product.

You can make a solid sweet present for a birthday boy with your own hands in the form of a bouquet of bars with a bottle of cognac.

For work you will need:

• bars with different names (15-20 pcs.);
• a small bottle of cognac;
• wooden skewers 30 centimeters long;
• narrow tape;
• glue, scissors;
• paper for wrapping a bouquet (as an original version, you can use a simple newspaper);
• colored tape for tying the package.

The presentation is being prepared in stages.

1. 2 skewers are applied to the back of the bar (up to the middle), which are fixed on the chocolate bar with several turns of scotch tape. The skewers are once again secured with tape at the base of the product (for strength).
2. Do the same with all the bars.
3. On the back of the bottle with cognac, 4 skewers are fixed with several turns of scotch tape.
4. The first row of the bouquet is assembled in the form of a fan from the tallest bars. The ends of the skewers are collected and fixed with tape.
5. The next row of bars is stacked a little lower so that you can read the names of the products of the first row, the ends of the skewers are collected with tape, and both rows are fastened together.
6. The sequence of actions is repeated until the last row.
7. The bottle with cognac is located in the third row from the top, attached with skewers to the bouquet using scotch tape.
8. The finished bouquet is placed on wrapping paper, which is laid around the product in the form of a bag and at the end is fixed with glue. The package is tied with a tape.

A gift for a man can be knitted.

People with knitting skills can use this skill to bring joy to those around them. A hand-knitted thing becomes exclusive, which gives it special value. Knitting masters never rack their brains before choosing a gift for loved ones.

Men prefer to wear comfortable things and therefore not everyone likes scarves that slip off all the time. Fashion designers offer the strong half of humanity a scarf-collar without beginning and end, folding in figure eight. The convenience of its use is that it does not need to be constantly corrected: put it on, straighten it - that's all. Do-it-yourself snood is a great option for a birthday present for a friend.

Men's snood looks great with any outerwear, it can be combined with a jumper in color or have different tones depending on the preference of the man. When choosing a material for knitting snood, attention is paid to the composition of the yarn. It is of three types:

• wool (natural fiber);
• semi-wool (with the addition of artificial fiber);
• acrylic (artificial).

The yarn consists of natural fiber, the knitted thing made of pure wool retains heat well, creates a feeling of comfort. The disadvantage of such a thread is that products made from it do not hold their shape well, stretch, shrink after washing, and over time, pellets appear on them.

The yarn contains natural and artificial fibers. The added artificial thread helps the product to maintain its shape after washing, and increases its lightfastness. Wool items are considered relatively warm.

The yarn contains only artificial thread. The things knitted from it have a beautiful appearance, retain their shape and color after washing, and create a feeling of comfort.

In cold weather, women use a collar scarf as a shawl. Due to the impossibility of using such a technique by a strong half of humanity, a knitted accessory in the form of a cap can be added to the snood. A self-made kit will claim to be the most beloved thing in a man's wardrobe.

Choosing a birthday present for a man is not an easy task. Socks, shaving foam, shower gel look trite, and too expensive gifts in the form of gold cufflinks are not affordable for everyone. Even a small amount will be a good option for a birthday boy.

Money is placed in a large 3-liter glass jar, rolled up with a real lid. The birthday boy is invited to keep his savings in the most reliable bank. On smaller cans, tags are hung with the inscriptions - "dried greens", "cauliflower". They put money in the colors corresponding to the inscriptions. Not a single birthday person will refuse such gifts.

The gift shops sell clockwork hens that "lay" eggs that imitate real ones. You need to buy 3-5 chickens, eggs are painted gold, dried, placed inside toys. Chickens are launched with a special lever. Running along the surface to the built-in musical accompaniment, they "lay golden" eggs.

Strong threads of different lengths are tied to the knitting needles of an open umbrella, the ends of the threads are attached to banknotes using narrow tape or a needle so as not to damage them. An umbrella with a surprise is presented to the birthday person with the wishes of an inexhaustible "rain of money" in his life.

A regular ceramic flower pot is filled with sand or potting soil. On a branch torn from any tree, banknotes are attached with narrow tape. The shape of the branch should resemble a small tree. A branch with banknotes is not yet planted in a pot, but is stored in a bag.

The birthday boy is presented with a pot of earth, asked to bury 5 coins, say 3 magic words - "crack, pex, fex", water and wait for the harvest. The pot is carried away to another room, after a while a branch with banknotes unnoticed is planted in it.

Home-made cool posters, postcards, wall newspapers are obligatory attributes of the holiday.

Words of gratitude and respect for the birthday person can be placed in a homemade certificate of honor, placed in a real frame with glass to give solemnity. The listed merits of the hero of the occasion may be as follows:

• “You are a reliable friend and a wonderful person”;
• “You can always help if needed”;
• “It's nice to spend time with you”;
• "You always look great";
• "You find the right words of consolation in difficult times."

On a large sheet of Whatman paper there are figures of famous characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Rambo, everyone who is told by fantasy.

A sheet of Whatman paper is hung on the wall, guests are asked to leave an autograph on it with a wish for the hero of the occasion. Autographs and wishes are placed in a chaotic manner. After the holiday, the poster is neatly rolled up and put away on the mezzanine. A handwritten creation in moments of sadness can sometimes be taken out and re-read.

An unusual garland of stars, hearts, flowers, made by hand, will revive the atmosphere of the holiday and cheer up those present. The original craft will not leave indifferent the heart of the birthday boy. To make it you will need:

• colored paper (double-sided);
• double-sided tape;
• scissors;
• threads;
• hand needles or a sewing machine;
• paper clips.

Work on the craft is performed sequentially:

1. make the necessary templates from thick cardboard;
2. cut out the required number of parts for the garland from colored double-sided paper using templates;
3. using a sewing machine (if not, then manually) connect flowers, stars and hearts into a garland, leaving a distance of 8-10 centimeters between them;
4. at the end of a long thread, tie a knot, fasten a paper clip made in the shape of a heart on it;
5. Glue ready-made garlands with tape to the ceiling of the room in different places.

The time to make homemade gifts will pay off. The good mood of the birthday person is a sign that the holiday was a success. Gifts from the store can be more expensive and brighter, but they will not have the love that is invested in a man-made product.
