Buying a gift for a man can be tricky. You don’t want to get him a tool set, because you don’t know what kind of tools he needs. And he doesn’t want flowers.

Sure, your presence can be your present, but honestly, I can’t even type that with a straight face. So don’t be the gift. Be the change you want to see in the world, but don’t be your dad’s or your man’s gift.

Instead, go with one of these 20 Handmade Gifts For Men.
