This Handmade Gifts For Men list is filled with gifts to make your man — coasters, wooden crafts, and more. Plus, find out where to buy the crafts too.
For more ideas, check out all of our gift guides.
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.
This Handmade Gifts For Men list is just one of the gift guides we have on Drugstore Divas in hopes of making your shopping life so much easier.

This list is filled with really homemade gifts for men. But, honestly, I get it. You might not be the craftiest of crafters. Or maybe you just don’t have time to make one of these handmade gifts for him. Or maybe you don’t know how to use hand tools. That’s fine too.
We don’t judge here.
So, I made this post really easy for you. I’m posting a link to the DIY tutorial for each project so you can make it … but then I’m posting a link to a similar already made item you can just order online. So, you can get a similar gift for dad without worrying about hot gluing your fingers together.
